It's like they try to dress as particularly gay versions of the members of Duran Duran. Women pay to buy drinks and time with these hosts in bars.

There is an interesting twist about halfway through the film. I won't say what it is.

The film does not have nudity, but the content is adult in that you probably ought not watch it with kids.

My wife did not watch it. But I was telling her about it and said, "I'd probably make the world's worst host." She says, "Yeah. Sitting and talking and listening to people."



"No, being fake, dressing up, lying, and suffering fools."

Hmmm. Farrah's take isn't bad.
