it was the eye candy that made this film for me , 2008-04-02
200 American 2 1/2 *'s br / br /I admit; it was the eye candy that made this film for me and what a shock there was no nudity (had there been, I am sure I would have given it another 1/2 star). Hustler films always have an element of hotness (I am not sure why that is), this one even had a plausible plot (though a little coincidental at time) and some decent characters. The story was a love triangle (more like a square), with some predictable elements and few surprises; though filmed on a no budget the film had a very polished, manicured look with some very well done cinematic scenes. Though the film was visually pleasing, I felt it was lacking a bit in depth (dramatic tension), the storyline was a bit trite and predictable and I really didnt find the character of Conrad passionate enough to provoke any interest for me. I do think that Sean Matic did an outstanding performance and I will be looking for his name in future titles he seems very comfortable in front of the camera and his performance seemed very genuine. br /

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!, 2007-10-18
Talk about terrible acting, terrible sets, terrible story lines, terrible story all together. This movie might have had a chance... nope, it doesnt. br / br /First, the Australian Escort had this constant saying of "no worries" which seemed so fake. The entire movie seemed fake, funny that someone is saying that about a movie. br / br /No dragging you in, no interest, no nothing. Story lines did not follow, and again, THE ACTING WAS HORRIBLE! NO ONE SHOULD EVER BUY THIS MOVIE.

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.
