VOD: Down Low (dir: Rightor Doyle, 2023)

"Rest in peace."

In this very silly attempt at a zany comedy, a newly-divorced and newly-out Zachary Quinto hires a male masseur who arranges his first online hook-up; one dead body later, Weekend At Bernie's-style non-hilarity ensues.  The two leads hurl waspish one-liners at each other at breakneck pace - about half of them land - and as the situation gets increasingly daft, the less said the better about the spaced-out old lady neighbour and the cannibal-fetish characters.  If you think people on drugs and wacky nonsensical characters make for great comedy, then you might just be entertained, otherwise Down Low is a real slog to watch.  On the plus side, the beautiful expensive lakeside house in which most of the action takes place looks attractive on screen.
