Ryan (Forth Richards, I think, since much of the cast may be working under pseudonym) is a young wannabe actor. He has landed his first part in a play, but his happiness is short-lived as former boyfriend Daniel (Benji Crisnis, I think) shows up. Daniel is a drug addict, but Ryan takes him in (again) anyway, hoping to change him since he won't change himself. Daniel immediately goes back to his old habits, including introducing Taylor (no idea who played him) into the relationship. Ryan's life begins to spiral downward, and the film ends with a scene you could predict before you even popped the disc in the DVD player.

The three leads get nude, often. The Shumanski brothers wallow in Ryan's filthy world; you can almost smell the stale cigarette butts and warm wine in his squalid little house. However, the Shumanskis let their willing cast down. Some of the scenes are obviously improvised, and watching the young cast try to smoke and talk like adults before shedding their underwear is embarrassing to sit through. I began to mistake Ryan's constant naivete for mild mental retardation as Daniel goes through his drug addict and casual sex routine and elicits only tsk-ing and rolled eyes. The direction is sloppy (you can spot a cameraman in a mirror in one scene, and dates on cell phones never jibe), the editing is fair, and the music makes no impression whatsoever. The Shumanskis pad the film with unnecessary shots of the dudes waking up, getting their bearings, and dressing.

Richards plays Ryan like a drag queen channeling Bette Davis. He smokes too much, and swirls his hands, but shows no real emotion beyond mild contempt. I didn't care about him at all. Ryan demands Daniel get a job, yet we never see what Ryan does for a living. Crisnis is bland, never offering any reason why Ryan would fall for Daniel over and over again, despite getting hurt every time.

The only scenes that almost work are Ryan's play rehearsals. The play, as presented to the viewer, is a disaster. The director obviously wants to take Ryan to bed, his chain smoking assistant hates the world, and one of his co-stars is one of those Brando wannabes who must stretch and do annoying preparation for this piece of garbage he is "starring" in. Trust me, I have a theater background, and a lot of this is dead-on. Plus, these scenes provide a break from all the cocaine snorting and gay sex.

"Wrecked" joins the sad list of sexually explicit films that fail because of the script and direction, and not the sex. Move over, "9 Songs," "Shortbus," and almost everything Larry Clark has ever done, "Wrecked" and its truth-in-advertising title is here.

• Plot:An edgy drama about a gay teen's tumultuous decent into drugs and anonymous sex, Wrecked smashes cinematic taboos while it spins its cautionary tale. Ryan is an earnest 18-year-old trying to develop a career as an actor and getting his life on the right track. This course is quickly threatened with the sudden arrival of his sort-of ex, Daniel, who arrives at Ryan's door wanting a place to stay and offering the promise of a normal, loving relationship. But Daniel's drug addiction and attitude towards casual sex derail any hope for normalcy and soon ensnares Ryan in his own downward spiral. Handheld cameras, a hot young cast and a boldly upfront approach to sex combine to make Wrecked a unique film experience. Written by TLA Releasing

Description:
Ovaj film sam pogledao danas na Hrvatskoj RTL televiziji! Slatko sam se nasmijao situaciji kada se trudna riba zaljubila u slatkog gay momka! Pa zar ne zna da je taj tip samo pijan može kresnuti?
O toj situaciji ne mogu pisati iz svog ličnog iskustva jer sam do svojij tridesetih godina svaku ribu koja bi se "zaljubila" u mene kresnuo! Ali većina 100 postotnih pedera nemože ni zamisliti da zavuče svoj cjenjeni penis u tu "odvratnu vlažnu rupetinu" Valja misle da će im ga trajno progutati!
No šalu na stranu, poznat vam je termin Fag Hag. Označava curu koja voli pedere. Često ih toliko vole da ih pobrkaju sa pravim muškarcima. Pa onda krenu u akciju "preobraćenja" Naravno svaku pokušaj da od pedera napravite str8 lika je uzaludan! Ne odnosi se na bisex ljude.
Poneki peder bi i uspio da obavi snošaj sa ženom samo u prisustvu još jednog muškarca, najbolje da mu ga nabije u dupe dok kara ribu! Pisac ovih tekstova je i to probao!:)
Ova romantična komedija, ukoliko je još niste gledali dodiruje baš tu temu! Dva sata će vam brzo proći!

Susret Georgea i Nine brzo završava zajedničkim zaključkom: oni su stvoreni jedno za drugo - ako se zanemari mala sitnica, da je George (Paul Rudd) homoseksualac. Iako je trudna s drugim muškarcem, Nina (Jennifer Aniston) ne planira nastaviti zajednički život s ocem svoga djeteta, već poziva Georgea da bude njezin cimer. George prihvaća Ninin poziv, budući da je i sam nedavno izašao iz nesretne veze, i postaje Ninin najbolji prijatelj. Iako je Georgeovo seksualno opredjeljenje uvijek prisutna zapreka, situacija dobiva dodatnu težinu kada se George zaljubi u mladoga glumca (Amo Gulinello)...
Nakon uspjeha „Prijatelja", filmska karijera Jennifer Aniston nije ostala zanemarena. Nastupivši prvo u niskobudžetnom hororu „Vilenjak", lijepa je Jennifer potom zaredala romantične komedije, da bi se potom okušala i u izvrsnoj drami „Dobra djevojka". U „Predmetu obožavanja" Jennifer Aniston romantično je povezana s epizodistom iz „Prijatelja", Paulom Ruddom, u intrigantnom zapletu koji se dotiče složenih veza izraslih iz prijateljstva. Nimalo jednostavan zadatak uprizorenja niza dramskih situacija, koje bilježe suptilno mijenjanje jedne prijateljske veze, izvrsno je odradio cijenjeni britanski redatelj Nicholas Hytner.
George Hanson (PAUL RUDD) is a preschool teacher and Nina Borowski (JENNIFER ANISTON) is a community center counselor who meet at a party hosted by Nina' pompous stepsister, Constance Miller (ALLISON JANEY) and her literary agent husband, Sidney (ALAN ALDA). After talking with George's boyfriend, Dr. Robert Joley (TIMOTHY DALY), Nina drops the bombshell that he's planning to break up with George.

Needing a place to live, George agrees to move into Nina's spare bedroom, a fact that her lawyer boyfriend, Vince McBride (JOHN PANKOW), can't stand because he wants to move in with her. Soon, Nina and George become best friends, and both agree to let the other lead their own personal lives. When Nina announces she's pregnant by Vince, however, she tells George that she wants him to help raise the child instead of Vince whom she can no longer stand. Although reluctant at first, George agrees after sensing that this might be his only chance at fatherhood. Eventually, the two begin to become attracted to each other.
Yet, when George gets a call from Joley, his attraction toward men is rekindled, and that's further strengthened after he meets Paul James (AMO GULINELLO), a young theater student who lives with an older theater critic, Rodney Fraser (NIGEL HAWTHORNE). Soon George and Paul become an item, much to Nina and Rodney's collective dismay. As Nina's pregnancy continues, she must decide between raising the child alone, with Vince, or to continue pursuing George who may or may not be there for her.
