CGiii Comment

From the director of the diabolical 'Surge of Power' - his latest offering shows no sign of improvement.

A group of scantily clad chaps...in and around a pool, talk constant drivel.

If Donahue finds this interesting then he has led a very sheltered life indeed - there's more to the world - just walk through the backyard gate and, yes, there are actually interesting people out there.

As dull as you can get.

The(ir) Blurb...

David is well-liked, middle-aged, successful, gay, and lonely but not alone. At his annual weekend pool party, his actions reflect this developing mood as he invites only his three best gay pals - Paulo, Roger and Virgil (all of whom are much like David himself: fairly handsome and fit, intelligent, gay, middle-aged and unattached). As David's thoughts want to head in a particular direction, outsiders keep intruding on his intimate gathering (a freeloading neighbor, a sister needing a babysitter, an old peach grower, and a mother who'd like to see her son connected). The one outsider who seems to be taking his sweet time butting in is the pizza boy with their food order.
