CGiii Comment
The writer (and star) of this monstrosity has a strange obsession with masturbation - he likes to be filmed en flagrante.
He can neither act (nor write).
With these sparkling credentials, the director hasn't got much to work with and it shows...with a disastrous result.
You will be hard-pressed to find anything as unaccomplished as this - these two dullards are still producing.
Inexplicable - an ode to ego.

Chronicling a single week in the life of Buddy, Fun Down There is one of the early gay films produced after the arrival of the AIDS epidemic and is a refreshingly uncomplicated view of coming out and coming of age.
The morning after Buddy's sister discovers his copy of Playgirl, Buddy sneaks away to New York. Shortly after his arrival, he experiences his first sexual encounter. His partner, Joseph, takes Buddy under his wing and provides him with the Big City essentials: a hotel room, a subway map and a lecture about safe sex.
In a wry and off-hand style, Fun Down There captures the ordinary day-to-day events which make life extraordinary. Stigliano and Waites comfort with their story and their characters provide a radiant energy, simply and unquestioningly asserting that no matter how challenging the times, gay life will continue and thrive.
