Project X: Pinoy Deep Throat



Admirers of Andrew Schimmer's body should cheer at the movie's loving attention to the actor's slabs of beef, tattoos, and bulging brief -- front, center, and often in close-ups. Which makes it even harder to buy the premise that this guy is so destitute and desperate for any job -- including perform as a transvestite singer, even though the macho dancers around him are less macho than he is.

Apparently, he also draws the line at sucking cock. He keeps repeating that it's the one thing he can't handle when offered to do a gay porn video. We're never really given the reason behind his misgiving, but we can assume it's probably because he's so straight. (His sex scenes in the movie are only with a woman.) How exactly is this guy supposed to be desperate when he bitches like a spoiled college boy half the time?

Along the way, there's a dying gay man who sacrificed his entire life for his lover, married to a woman and long dead, plus a flamboyant fag who's tough-as-slums with can-do attitude but in the end, commits suicide because of some silly debt to a crime syndicate. This from a person who will do anything to survive? None of it makes sense and functions only to souse the melodrama of the poor, at the same time reducing gay characters into tragic stereotypes. This is exactly the kind of social realist movie that gives a bad name to social realist movies. Maybe we should start calling them social scams.

GRADE: D
