THE BOYS OF CELLBLOCK Q

Director: ALAN DANIELS

Time: 90 MIN

Country: USA

Date: 1992

Teetering between being an enjoyably cheesy C&A ‘boys in prison’ spoof and actual drama, this poor man’s Fortune and Men’s Eyes works best for those seeking humour and skin (but alas, no sex!).

The setting is Sunnyvale Labour Farm for wayward boys - a veritable hotbed of homosexuality, pumped up pecs, sadistic guards, lecherous priests, and a coterie of pretty boys who seem to live in various stages of undress.

The story focuses on one cell of boys: Tim, the innocent ‘virgin’ with a murderous past; Beef, the hunky chieftain and self-proclaimed ‘Top Cock’; and Lana, the acid-tongued queen.

Adapted from a John C. Wall play, and filled with campy lines such as, "He thought that it would be bad to be a homosexual in love with a minor who kills people", and, "Put that in your crockpot and simmer it", the filmed won’t be confused with Shakespeare, but then again, what was the last Shakespeare play with studs entangled in a steamy, naked brawl in the showers?

"It’s Prisoner in Cell Block H but with cute guys and loads of dick … a camp, horny comedy" - Boyz [London]
