A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
I read somewhere that this is a bad porn movie minus the porn part. And I can't agree more. There is probably a support group of all people who have been deceived by the title and poster and given the fascination of gay men with prison and sex.
Timmy has been sent to a juvenile prison work camp for committing murder. He gets thrown in the same cell with three other mates. Beef is the head cock of the cell block. Lana is the Queen Bee, as in he is about two steps from being a woman himself. Finally, there is Ludes, whom is obsessed with comic book and drugs. The Padre is the gayest of them all. Boss is a closet gay that likes to spank the men. Timmy has to learn how to make friends and survive his time in Cell block Q. There are random sexual scenes with people messing around and just trying to create an actual story out of it.
The film reminded me of a recent prison movie that I saw but that was much better directed and actually had a motive behind it. In contrast, this film had everything bad about it, minus the good looking actors (which is what you expect at the bare minimum). But as far as acting is concerned, it is pretty horrible. The only reason this movie is watched is because there are frontal nudes scenes in it. Imagine 90 something minutes of porn acting and porn plot with no porn; that too done really poorly. some porn films are much better directed these days. I understand that this came out in 1992, but tat's no excuse for a bad film.
Do yourself a favor, and do not watch this mess. I watched this so you don't have to. (1/10)
