Rating:  - We've All Been There.
These are 3 tales about the evolution of boys to men as evidenced by their emotional and physical connections. Fascinating stuff..and rather well done too.
Rating:  - "Crush" made this a winner
All of the shorts are good however the short called "Crush" was outstanding. This is a must for the video collection. I must say that this is an adult film because of the sexual content and the full frontal nudes in some of the other shorts. Crush was "PG" however most of the others are "R" or NC17. Put this gem in your collection. ( Not for conservitive viewers)
Rating: - "Crush" makes this anthology worth a look
Although all of the short films included in this anthology have merit, Phillip Bartell's "Crush" stands out as a witty, charming coming of age film with enough laughs and insight for a film three times its length. Bartell's deft handling of young actors is reminiscent of early Truffaut, and he evokes both the insecurities and the joys of a first crush with style and humor. Maida Sussman's evocative cinematography sets just the right tone (at times there's a nice undercurrent of unease to the sunny comedy that gives it nuance and visual complexity), and the movie is touching without being overly sentimental and funny without being overly broad. Like Scorsese's "Life Lessons" or Godard's "All the Boys Are Named Patrick," this is a short that's every bit as satisfying as a great feature.
Rating: - Three excellent films
... I agree that both CRUSH and CONFESSION are wonderful films. However, THE MOUNTAIN KING, ..., is their equal in every respect. It's the slyest, sexiest, most suggestive and sophisticated film in the collection. I enjoyed it, and related to it, thoroughly. This is not to detract from CRUSH or CONFESSION, each of which sparkle in their own ways. These three films together make BOYS TO MEN the strongest collection of gay shorts I've ever seen.
Rating: - One of the Better Gay Shorts Collections
This an interesting assortment of films that manages generally to be diverse, entertaining and generally thought provoking.
The first film is the charming "Crush". The film starts with a preteen girl looking at a picture of hunky, teenage star and then cuts to a slightly older young man looking at the same picture. The film goes on to follow the eventual friendship of the young man and girl (who of course develops a crush for him). The actors in the film all seem very natural and most of the fun is watching them interact with each other as well as how they're going to work out their differences. A very satisfying and enjoyable effort about a potentially painful subject.
The next film "The Mountain King" is also fun to watch but less satisfying dramatically. It begins with a man reading alone on a beach and another man who comes asks for a light then strips and runs into the ocean inviting the other man to come on in. The film follows these two men as they talk about their lives and eventually couple in a fairly graphic sequence. The film has a strong narrative pull and is always interesting but the resolution is not very satsifying (still this film is as good as anything in Boys Life 3).
"...Lost" is just a shade away from being porn. It is extremely brief (just a few minutes) and then ends with a smack and punch line. There is a tone of seriousness at the end that seems to be meant to justify pushing the sex on the viewer but really the film is just about ... Read More
