Review

You know who they are - it's those guys with the close-cropped haircuts, buff shaved bodies, piercings and tribal tattoos in all the right places. It's those hunks who are into the circuit party scene... it's a brotherhood... it's a total roving party from one city to the next. The White Party, The Black & Blue Party, The Blue Ball... it's websites, magazines, and promotions everywhere. The scene, as most of us know, has a darker, dirtier side and both parallel elements of the circuit are explored in the sexy documentary When Boys Fly.

In what is essentially a profile of four men who go to the White Party in Miami, 2000, the film shines a light on the glorious puddles of men on the dance floor. The shirtless boys are wrapped around each other - ecstasy love radiating from their bodies onto your screen. And we get a glimpse of the nasty morning after of staggering and vomiting men, jealousy, depression and anxiety. Tone is 21, he's studying biology, and he has a substance abuse problem. He has OD'd twice, coming near death. His roommate Scott has given him this one last chance to not get high at a party. Brandon is 23, he's a runner, he's extremely close to his Mom, he doesn't do drugs and doesn't want to. Todd is 35 and he's a circuit regular for years. He's attracted to twinkies and brings both his former and present boyfriends to this party. This is a disparate group of guys - they share two things: they are all magazine style gorgeous and they are at The White Party.

While When Boys Fly is ostensibly about circuit parties, it manages to explore global issues such as jealousy, neuroses and self-esteem. The film gives us the glorious moments of the hunks on the floor, the nasty drug problems and it also attempts to go behind the curtain of the gay scene.

When Boys Fly Gone

Janorm wrote on 03/20/2008:

This has to be one of the most provocative docudrama, true-to-life films, to come out, depicting the live-for-today-only, circuit party, generation of young men and the utter depths of drug usage, that has taken place. Current drug usage even at recreational levels, will decrease life expectancy by fifty to sixty percent at a minimum! What utter foolishness!! This film should be shown to all High Schools with large Disclaimers at the beginning and at the end of the film. IS TWELVE HOURS OF ESTASCY WORTH YOUR LIFE?!?!?!?!?!?

Fly With Me

I will never see a circuit party in this lifetime, but this movie (or documentary) as well as the movie Circuit gave me the full feeling of what it would be like to go to one. I'm gay, open but at 54 yrs old I don't think I should take my shirt off in public or wear spandex shorts (although I really could), but I feel I've been there because of these two films. Get this DVD, (and Circuit), the men are HOT and the emotions are real. I loved it!

I guess I am bias.....

I guess I am bias......I watched this film recently and saw what I thoughgt was a really good film. Being one of the people in it, it is very hard to watch it for what it is. I really do think that they have captured an amazing look into circut life. Many people have said that the film did not include all angles from the circuit world and that it only made a negative impression of it. I say those people are right! If the director was to capture every aspect of a circuit party I would still be in the theatre watching the damn thing for the first time! And as far as exuding a negative "vibe" I think the subjects and people at the party are to blame for that one, not the director. All in all I think it's a good film and I hope you all enjoy it! I gotta run. I hear my mother calling HAHAHAHAHAHA! (now that can be blamed on the editors!)

Cheers,
Brandon

More Circuit Parties

Please create another sequel. This time please make it a really bad a$$ gay circuit party.

A Very Good Documentary

CaFun wrote on 12/22/2002:

This documentary has a very interesting story. It engages the viewers' attentions from the beginning until the end. I hope the producers will create a sequence but this time it will be "a much more naughtier circuit party". Too bad Fire Island Morning Party (FIMP) has been discontinued. I can't wait to see more of this kind of documentaries. Maybe they should try out the Black & Blue Party in Montreal or the "other" White Party in South Beach.
