The Men Next Door [2012]

Product Information

Unexpectedly, this material was the genesis of Aquiles, who would become the protagonist of the second saga, which began with "Aquiles... a curious straight" followed by "Aquiles and his chained tiger" then "Aquiles, breaking chains," which was followed by "Aquiles, releasing moorings." During the setup, there is part of the movie where Doug and the father know about him and the son, and they try to keep it quiet while trying to figure out how to tell him. Of course it comes out in a very humorous moment. Mais pour autant, il n’est pas besoin de se revendiquer comme une œuvre majeure du cinéma ni se vouloir un témoignage sociologique de la vie d’hommes gay pour offrir au spectateur un divertissement de qualité.

I nstead of giving us an out-and-out farce, this is a comedy with a heart. While it has its ample share of laughs, this is no mindless romcom. The characters have depth and their emotions wash over the viewer. I laughed and I cried. The Men Next Door could have been a silly romp; instead it logs mostly uncharted territory by displaying the dynamics of dating both a younger and an older man - without resorting to clichés or cheap laughs. Jacob isn’t looking for a “boy” - Doug is only 10 years younger - and Colton isn’t looking for a “daddy.” Doug has a lot in common with them both and the age differences don’t matter. If only they weren’t father and son.Son frère jumeau, justement, avec lequel il discute régulièrement au téléphone, est aussi hétéro que lui-même est gay. Visiblement, Doug et lui sont des jumeaux dizygotes, tellement leur ressemblance physique est lointaine. Très lointaine… Eric Dean delivers a standout performance as Jerry, capturing both the character's vulnerability and humor. Heidi Rhodes and Mark Cirillo also shine as Collin and Jacob, respectively, bringing depth and complexity to their roles. I was born in Buenos Aires in 1963. I had my first approach to writing during my high school studies, where I studied advertising, focusing on copywriting. After completing my tertiary studies at the University of Buenos Aires and obtaining my degree as an architect, I wrote some notes for magazines. Later, while taking a postgraduate course, I wrote several research papers. I just finished helping produce Mark Bessenger’s (director of Bite Marks) next project called The Last Straight Man. We’ve finished all principal photography and are hard at work in post. Crossing some fingers over some great acting roles in talks about this next year

When I made plans with Karen I felt, different , excited, no excited’s not the word. I felt …. content. Like nothing could go wrong. Like being with her is exactly where I was supposed to be.

In addition, the film's exploration of the relationship between Jerry and his son is particularly moving. The dynamic between the two is handled with care and sensitivity, showing the challenges and rewards of single parenthood. I must say! The Men Next Door is most certainly not a "cliche" movie about "gays" or about the "gay agenda". There is also a lot of short scenes with his friends, who provide insight and comic relief. One event in particular with one of his gay friends has these lines: La scène où père et fils se rendent compte qu’ils se partagent, sans le savoir, le même amant est bien amenée, mais sans drame hystérique comme on aurait pu le craindre.
