The Gist:
Moses has epilepsy which give him visions; that lead him first to true love in the form of Steve, the (formerly straight) literal man of his dreams; then later to Glintentica, who may be a figment of his imagination, or who may an evil spirit who wants to take over his body in an effort to wipe out the local gay population by turning them all from prissy effeminate queens to boring straight men.
When it turns out to be the later, the (formerly straight) boyfriend and an annoying female roommate hope to rid Moses of Glintentica by performing the most bizarre exorcism ever, despite Glintentica's threats to turn Steve (the formerly straight boyfriend) straight again if they succeed.
Will true love prevail? Does anyone care?
Comments:
The people involved in this were apparently trying to make a wacky romantic comedy with commentary about ex-gay therapy. It's possible that the idea could have worked, but unfortunately, they didn't go far enough, which considering the plot description may seem an odd critique.
The problem is that while they ended up with a crazy movie, it's not crazy enough to to overcome a huge number of issues such as poor script, wonky characterization and bad acting. In the end, the final product trips over itself, and falls somewhere between boring and just plain bad.
The best thing about it is that the lead isn't too bad an actor. There is also the fact that even if it failed, the people involved at least tried to be interesting, if weird. Still, all in all, not worth watching.
Women:
One and a half. The most annoying female roommate ever, and the "evil goddess" Glintentica, who despite being played by a woman, is (if I'm reading the credits correctly) voiced by a man.
People of color:
No
Gratuitous nudity:
No, though the character of Moses who between his job as a sort of, but not really nude-maid and being written as being clothes phobic, spends a lot of screen time in his undies doing yoga poses.
