Sometimes You Have To Wonder.......2006-07-22

I debated for a lenghy period on whether to give this move a 1 or a 5 star rating. In my opinion, it deserves both for achieving the impossible feat of "worst movie ever." And if you think about it, that's a pretty hard title to accomplish. What's worse, is that there are people out there who think this is a good movie.

In an effort to avoid redundancy I am withholding my comments about the poor lighting, mangled plot, child-like camera work, heinous acting, and the painful array of emotions going through my head while struggling to sit through the entire movie.

Only a pure genious, or ludicrous idiot could have come up with something so quintessentially bad. I would like to say that it is on a par with "Rocky Horror Picture Show" but that's giving it too much credit.

NOTE TO VIEWERS: If after reading all these negative comments and you decide you would still like to watch this atrocity, I recommend getting a bunch of like-minded friends together with a lot of beer and have your fun with it. Invent a drinking game or whatever - be creative. Whatever you do, DO NOT watch this movie alone or in a setting where you cannot belittle its existance.

An insult to low-budget movies everywhere.......2006-01-16

The movie tried to tell us several different stories and ended up treating each one so superficially as to be meaningless. The acting ranged from over-the-top (the nelly queen Lester) to dull and listless (the business partner David), although there were certainly some decent performances too. The sound was horrible--the dialogue was so low you had to turn up the volume all the way but then the horrible music would come on and blast your eardrums. In some cases the wind noise on the microphone was so bad the dialogue was completely washed out. The movie tried to make up for the horrible plot(s) and production values by treating us to soft-porn eye candy, but that wasn't enough to redeem it.

A holocaust for the eyes.......2005-09-09

What ever you do, don't buy this piece of CRAP! Don't rent it, don't even watch it. In fact it has been reported that the US government is now using this movie as a torture device in Guantanamo Bay

I've read several positive reviews about this film. Either the director keeps writing in giving himself 5 stars reviews, hoping to trick more innocent victims into buying this movie or there are a lot of people in the US smoking some serious crack.

I completely understand this is a low budget independent film; all gay movies are low budget independent films. However stop making excuses for movies like Murder in Portland. This movie was written by a chimp, and not one of those talented chimps. There seams to be 5 stories going on in the movie that have no connection to one another. At the end of the movie there were 5 separate unrelated endings. I didn't think this movie would ever end, I kept waiting then yet another end scène would appear. Why Murder in Portland? Why?!?

The production quality is poor at best. The movie is shaky, grainy, some times poorly lit, and sometimes too bright. I suspect it was shot on a camcorder. The actors (if you can call them actors), apparently took 1 or possibly 2 quarters of High School Drama. I've seen porn with better acting. Speaking of porn, where did they get the sound track for this film. It sounds like Ron Jeremy wrote it.

The only reason I finished watching this movie was to see the credits. In the middle of this movie is a wonderfully sensual strip tease preformed by a friend of mine. I couldn't believe David would have starred in this D-rate piece of trash. I mean come on gurl if you need the money I can let you borrow it. David makes regular appearances every weekend at Manray and R-Place, two local Seattle gay bars. I'm sure he would love to sign your copy of "Murder in Portland".

UN-believable!.......2005-05-15

I don't know whether to do a Janice from Friends (O-H M-Y G-A-W-D) or a Miss Vida Boheme (Oh, what in gay Hell???). This has to be the absolute WORST piece of.....dreck is too good a word for what this is. The acting makes the worst of high school drama look like it belongs in the Globe Theatre. The sterotypes (does ANYONE have a friend as gay as Lester??) are not even ONE-dimentional. It's so bad I can't believe I'm even wasting precious time writing a review. DON'T EVEN SEE THIS MOVIE MUCH LESS BUY IT! (30 dollars?!?!?!? Amazon, you'd have to give ME 30 bucks to take a copy, and maybe not even then!).

It's enough to make a boi go straight.

(by the way, i gave it one star only because 0 was not an option)

WORST THAN GIGLI.......2005-04-10

This is the worst movie I have ever seen!! I understand that its independent but it has an insane plot that tells two different stories that are almost totally unrelated to each other. This whole movie looks like it was shot with someone's home video camera. I don't even know why they released this! The acting is horrible, the guys who are naked do not have good bodies and the whole thing is just laughable and painful. This replaces Gigli as the worst movie ever. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
