Synopsis

Sex. Drugs. Rock and Roll. The way it was. Los Angeles, 1973.

"The Pretty Boys" are a glam rock band on the verge of finishing their long, drawn-out new album. There is one song left to record - but the whole scene has gone haywire. The lead guitarist is strung out on heroin, the singer's new boyfriend is the kid supplying drugs from the record company and the rest of the band has quit in disgust. Ripped from stories about that time and shot in lurid locations frequented, back in the day, by bands like the Doors, Love and The Seeds, this new film from acclaimed gay writer/director Everett Lewis (FAQs, Skin & Bone, Luster, Lucky Bastard) has hot boys, heavy drugs and orgiastic sex that show how creative collaboration can crash along the jagged road of fame and destruction.

Everett Lewis is one of our favorite gay indie filmmakers. He is also the man behind FAQs, Skin & Bone, Luster and Lucky Bastard.
This movie takes place in 1973 - back when sex was safe, drugs flowed freely and music rocked.
The "Pretty Boys" in this movie are exceptionally hot - and often in various states of undress.

Beautiful Blais

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my view, Bryce Blais has one of the finest bodies I've ever seen. Shapely, not overworked. Hot.

Everett Lewis brings us a new film that is unlike anything I have seen before. “The Pretty Boys” is about the interactions of the members of a glam rock band as they film the final cut on their new album. Here is reality like we do not often get to see.

The band, “The Pretty Boys” is on a course of self destruction and the members seem to live only for sex and drugs. Rock And Roll was once part of that mantra but things have spun far out of control. In fact they hire a new assistant manager who is nothing more than a drug runner.

This is realism in your face and the movie while not easy to watch is mesmerizing and it held me captive, so much so that I watched it three consecutive times. Watching people fall to demonic delusion is not easy and from where they have come, one would think that this would be a wakeup call. Instead it is not and it is as if the band members have given up. The film stars Dale Dymkoski, Bryce Blais, Eric Gorlow and others and watching their decline is heartbreaking. Yet realism in a movie is what really lets us if what we are watching is important or not and “The Pretty Boys” is as real as it gets.
