Trick (1999) (R)

synopsis

For Gabriel, a young, gay man focussed on his dreams of writing musical theatre, life is a Broadway show. Only one problem - he seems to be stuck in the first act. Sharing a tiny one-room apartment with Rich, whose robust and heterosexual love life leaves Gabriel out in the cold - literally - doesn't seem to be helping. Neither does his relationship with his best friend Katherine, an off-off-off Broadway actress and Gabriel's high maintenance muse. What Gabriel needs is a little excitement of his own. Enter Mark, a mysteriously sexy go-go boy from the local cruise bar. A perfect one-night stand. In their quest to be together, Gabriel and Mark face a poignant mix of fate, friends and misunderstood intentions, all seeming to conspire against what should have been a simple act of passion. What these two would be lovers end up with is far more gratifying than anything they could have imagined.
