Ben is attractive, successful, and looking for love…in all the wrong places. Failed attempts with video dating, his uproarious friends setting him up, and bad gym run-ins have this perennially single 35-year-old ready to call it quits. He figures maybe romance is just not in the cards for him. Except there is this hot stud who runs by his house each morning as he waters his lawn. It takes a fair amount of courage for Ben to speak with Grey, well actually, he’s pushed into it by his best gal pal Callie, and the chemistry is instant. But here's a problem. Grey cant be monogamous. He likes to play around while Ben is a 1-man person. Neither of them hides this from the other but after a while Ben can't take it and they break up. His friend tries to hook him up with other men. Then one fine day Grey runs into Ben who doesn't talk to him too well except that he had to go see a therapist for his problem. The movie ends with Grey being that therapist and the fact that Ben has accepted his man's philandering ways of life.

Yes, the movie ended exactly like that. After the movie finished, the director was present for Q&A, and all I wanted to ask was 'What was the point of the movie? What is it that he wanted to tell us?' It was all so absurd. The characters had no chemistry and connection. They were overacting their parts to an extent. It was just weird. Oh! and the most annoying thing was a big giant green frame at Ben's house entrance which was there is like every frame. Probably the director forgot his pay his VFX team

“Shut Up and Kiss Me”

A Wonderful New Romantic Comedy

Amos Lassen

About a month ago a friend told me to watch out for Ariztical’s new film, “Shut Up and Kiss Me” and I understand why. It is a pure delight as it tackles the contemporary gay dating scene. Ben (hunky Ronnie Kerr) is 35 years old and wants to date someone for reasons other than sexual. He wants to be able to sit and talk to someone without first jumping into bed (I resemble that scenario). He tries a variety of ways to meet new people—a video ad, a classified ad, online match-ups, etc and he soon finds himself on various adventures, none of which provide him with what he is looking for. Some of you might recognize yourselves here. Lo (I love to use this word), one day he meets Grey (Scott Gabelein) and it is magic. They both generate the kind of chemistry that instantly wins each other over. However, there is a problem—they don’t share the same beliefs about relationships. Ben has had his eyes on Grey. They live in the same neighborhood and Grey always manages to run by his house when Ben is gardening. Finally, Ben rustles up the nerve to talk to Grey and they are immediately attracted to each other.
This is a comedy that is filled with romance and is very sensitively done. It touches on issues that all of us in the gay community are aware of—monogamy, love, satisfaction and dating. Kerr also wrote the screenplay and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. There are cameo appearances from Nick Moretti and Dylan Fox (Brad Benton) from “The Lair”. Kerr is amazing and the kind of guy you could bring home to mom. Devin Hamilton directed this wonderful little film that will worm its way into your heart. I loved it.
