I liked the idea that this was about a weekend getaway of both gay couples and single couples. I liked that they cared about their single friend and tried to set him up. The acting was decent. It was real in its portrait of relationships that do not always work because only one is committed. I was glad to see that he stood up and respected himself enough to end an unhealthy relationship and his friends stood buy him. But, that is where it became a no keeper for me. Life is real enough and watching others behave badly, and hurt the ones they love is not good “entertainment” for me.

We completely loved the premise of this movie, it shows Rob Williams is a talented screenwriter, however, the acting & directing was lackluster as best...many scenes are reminiscent of a bad soap-operas. It was real shame, because with better directing/acting, this could have been a real hit!

My partner & I received our copy of "3-Day Weekend" from TLA yesterday, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

The movie is well done, and well acted. Rob Williams is to be commended for both his writing, along with his directing skills.

Also, to be noted, Matthew Montgomery, was one of the producers, and he certainly flows with creativity, in acting & producing. My partner & I greatly admire Matthew.

I strongly recommend; " 3 Day Weekend".

I give the movie......."4 Stars"!

“3-Day Weekend”

One Unforgettable Weekend

Amos Lassen

Ever since I saw Rob Williams’ first film “Long-Term Relationship”, I have been a fan. Now with three films on DVD, I realize that others have also discovered him. Robb’s new film is quite different than his other two in that it does not just deal with one gay couple but several and takes a deep look at the relationships between gay men.
“3-Day Weekend” is about a group of gay men during one weekend which was filled with drama and a touch of intrigue. Simon and Jason are a long time couple and every year they meet with a group of guys on a weekend away from their regular city lives. They are traditionally joined by Cooper and whatever his newest boy toy happens to be. This year, in order to spice up the weekend, each guy must invite a single friend to come up to the mountain retreat. When the weekend begins we have a naked yoga instructor, a former college roommate, a co-worker of Simon who is a bit uptight and a high-priced “exclusive” hustler. These with the other four guys manage to make this weekend one that none of the guys will forget.
Instead of being a weekend of fun as planned, the combination of men stir up each other and the atmosphere is very tense and there are interesting happenings. By the end of the weekend and new combinations for the guys, some new relationships were formed and older ones seem to have lost stability.
We all know what can happen when a group of gay men together but I doubt that many of us get to see it. Rob Williams here gives us his most realistic film yet and there is plenty of drama here. The actors play their parts as if they are living them and all of them are good looking. What excels here is the dialog and the way the cast plays off of each other. This is the kind of movie that I love because it gives me things to think about and it lets us see what gay life is all about.
The extras on the DVD are wonderful and I especially enjoyed the cast interviews.
