The Fluffer may have strong elements of porn industry truth to it - but that doesn't make up for the fact that it's pretty shabbily directed and acted - and with a very mediocre script.B grade from start to the exceedingly drawn out finish.It would be embarassing to think of the general public being offered this piece as an example of state of the art gay film making.Hopefully it has a limited life in the gay film festival circuit and is allowed to die a natural death on video.This film will open the Queer Film Weekend in Brisbane on April 10, 2002. I think its success there will be strongly influenced by the amount of alcohol consumed in the preceding cocktail party - they're gonna need it.
