He needs money to stay and begins hustling for some quick bucks. He charges 200 American dollars cash for his services. He soon meets Conrad, owner of an ad agency, who has decided to "rent" a partner as he hasn't recovered from his last relationship. Puzzled why a nice guy like Ian is hustling, Conrad offers him a job at the agency, but complications arise....when Ian falls for his new supervisor Michael, leading Conrad to launch a campaign to win his ex back

Romantic No-budget movie........2007-01-30

200 American is actually quite pleasantly romantic gay comedy. Even though it looks like a no-budget episode of Queer As Folk or intended to be a gay version of Pretty Woman, it's got a pretty good story. It doesn't rely on fancy production and lighting or cinematography. Most of the actors are straight playing gay roles. I was surprised to learn from the special features material that the entire cast and crew volunteer for this show, something that I can certainly relate to. The acting is acceptable but not great, because most of the actors are not that experienced. I was surprised that there was no production and wardrobe designer! The movie has some kind of charm about it, perhaps it's because it's so sincere and gimmick free, and even the love scenes are very low-key. I was very touched by the romantic plotline between the hustler and his new boss. There is something about a straight guy doing love scene with another male actor, it's very captivating. Sean Matic did a good job with his light Austrilian accent by the way. It's worth rental fee for sure.

good film, bad acting.......2006-08-23

Actually the premise of this film would earn 5 stars, but the acting was so bad I did have a difficult time in getting through it. Watching it a second time allowed me to pay attention to the script more and it was well worth the second viewing. The acting, unfortunately, did not got any better.

Earnest but bad (almost so bad it's good, but not quite).......2006-07-30

I saw this film recently. It generated a lot of laughter from the audience, but - generally - this was laughter for all the wrong reasons.

All of the actors are sort of porn star good looking and, sadly, have a commensurate acting ability. In particular the actor with the awful "Australian" accent is particularly wooden. The story is pretty boring, although there are a few witty one liners and almost amusing situations, but overall this is just not a very good film. It's not even bad enough to be in the category of so bad it's good.

I really wonder how films like this can get made - and more than that I wonder why they generally get so many glowing reviews on Amazon - are all the positive reviews by friends and relatives of the filmmakers?

bad acting, boring, another hustler movie.......2006-07-18

The only good thing are the actors..not for good acting but for hot!! Really handsome guys

Laughable.......2005-10-26

Yet another movie that gives gay-themed movies a bad rep, this one is an embarrassment. The dialogue is stilted and unbelievable. The acting is comparable to what one might expect to see in a porno flick, which this is not, of course. The writer/director takes pride in stating his belief that "nudity is only a distraction," but I doubt if even nudity could have helped this movie since only one of the actors (Ames) has any sex appeal whatsoever (keep your shirt on, Sean). The writer/director says he had intended to cast gay men in the leading roles but that the straight actors he chose were the best actors of those he auditioned. Maybe so, but the actor selected to play the hustler is miscast, for it seems unlikely that this hustler could command $1000 for an all-night stay. Another bit of miscasting is the actress who plays the part of the hustler's girlfriend -- she looks more like his mother. This movie has nothing to recommend it.
