London's gay club world comes alive in this sexy, funny drama about two young men - one a bare-knuckle fighter and the other an ambitious record producer - who fall in love, despite enormously different backgrounds. Steve Bell is unforgettable as the Blackbool fighter who is struggling with his sexual identity, Ian Rose plays the ultra-cool urbanite and Roger Daltry (yeah, THAT Roger Daltry...of The Who) is wickedly funny as Ian's bitchy boss. Romantic, honest and highly entertaining, Like It Is offers an enjoyable and positive look at gay life rarely seen in films.


Reasons to Buy

  1. Holy cow -- a bare-knuckles boxer falls in love with a record producer!
  2. Well, you can see the cover, he's hot.
  3. And Roger Daltry from the Who is in the film!

This is a story of love and all of its supreme highs and lows. The audience is taken on a roller-coaster ride of unparallel descriptions in the love of two men in the steamy, seductive, sometimes called beautiful side of London. This movie will mak... Read More

What is it with the brits? QAF, BENT, and Like it is are all bloody brilliant. Has a naivity that oozes from the screen. Certainly worthy of any collection of gay cinema.
