I wondered if featuring this DVD since it's not a movie but a real musical, the old type of musical where basically each actor has his own solo song, and they are all on the stage singing and dancing... naked! But since I noticed that when I posted about Matthew Ludwinski's experience as Naked Boy Singing on stage at Broadway, many of my friends were actually interested in the DVD adaptation, and so here it is.

I saw it and it's really nice, after the first moment of WOW, actually you forget that the boys are naked and enjoy the show... And it's no bad that the boys are very handsome ;-)

The New Twenty is an example of how you can do a drama movie without being overtly angst. I will not spoil it, enough to say that, it's far from being happily ever after, but at least there is a bit of hope, there is at least one story that has a romantic "happy" ending, and for the "ever after", well, it's let to the spectator to decide.

The movie is also a mix of situations, gay and straight; of the 5 friends, 3 are straight, and 2 in a relationship between them, and 2 are gay. Of the two gay, 1 is the classic example of cute boy that you don't understand why it's still single, and 1 is a coach potato (not my words, but of another reviewer); true be told, Ben is far from being attractive if you look him without attention, but if you pay a bit more attention, those cute blue eyes have a reason ;-)

In the end there is the habitat; midlle wealth, not extremely poor but not even filthy rich. Again, probably in the average, perfect for the message the movie wanted to convey.
