Product Description Murders, steamy bathhouses, and lovably sexy characters set the stage for comedy and melodrama in Spain's "gayborhood." Evoking the comic insanity of early Pedro Almodóvar, Boystown is a raucous farce about an outlandish murder/mystery plot and the gay couple caught up in the middle of it all. Sinisterly handsome Victor, a real estate agent in Madrid's gentrifying, candy-colored "gayborhood," hides a wicked little secret - he murders old ladies then flips their renovated flats to upwardly-mobile gays. When bearish working class lovers Rey and Leo inherit the latest victim's apartment, they move Rey's acerbic mother in. Now it's up to an eccentric detective, her sexually confused son and the unwitting couple to uncover the murderous scheme before he strikes again Review Boystown is a hoot -- quirky Spanish black comedy with heart and a wicked sense of humor! --EDGE Ft. LauderdaleEven Pedro Almodovar, the king of Spain as far as cinema is concerned, would giggle at this comedy! --San Diego Union-TribuneThe film has a fast pace and an often-wicked sense of humor. The opening titles are clever as well! --KPBS, NPR San DiegoEven Pedro Almodovar, the king of Spain as far as cinema is concerned, would giggle at this comedy! --San Diego Union-TribuneThe film has a fast pace and an often-wicked sense of humor.

Best Gay Film I've Seen
I find a lot of films that are focused on the gay genre to be very trite and unrewarding for the viewer. This was the exception.Saw it at a film fest last year and have been waiting for the DVD to share it with my friends. It's definitely a dark comedy with several laugh out loud moments (and I rarely laugh out loud). They acting is great and the characters are easy to attach to.Overall a very well done film. Were it not for the subtitles I'd give it 5 stars....I mean, who likes to read when you can stare at the guys.

Among the best gay comedies ever
Hysterical, sophisticated and very well made movie with compelling characters. Not sure I've ever laughed so hard during a movie. Enjoyable from start to finish. Never drags.

Cute movie ! Needs a better title - "Boystown" (?). Also, could speak a little slower, sub-titles hard to follow.Thoroughly enjoyed it !

One of my favorites
This movie is funny and endearing. I think the supporting characters are stronger than the main actor--don't let that deter you. The men are loving and real; I bought this movie after having seen it on video and am very pleased with my purchase.

Me gusto mucho!!
This is a funny, enjoyable movie. Subtitles do not take away from the humor. Whenever I am feeling down, it's a great pick-me-up!!

Fairly run of the mill. Not side splitting anyway
I suppose this is a rom-com because it says on the promotional material. Don't hold your breath waiting to laugh anyway. It's a bit clichéd. Standard monster mother stealing the lines. Big chubby bears - that sort of thing. I'm not easily provoked to mirth but I just sat through this one.If you like this sort of storyline you would be better off with `9 Dead Gay Guys' - which is a real black comedy - or for a Spanish flavour `Chef's Special'. They have a solid plot and are quite funny. This film is fine if you're not too pushed about having a laugh.

Good Gay Fun
Comedy adventure in the gay style. Unscrupulous real estate agent takes serious advantage of vulnerable people but has not reckoned on snoopy gay characters . The most painful part is when one of them shaves off his chest hair.I mean why would you do that ?Apart from that it was a highly enjoyable comedy romp.

funny, dark humor
Don't except too much, it's a silly comedy about a gay couple, a homophobe mother in law and a hot serial killer.we had a good laugh when we watched this.
