Bad Boy Street



A lovely new Todd Verow film, safe for those afraid of Todd Verow films
Yes, Verow's films are sometimes too gritty, in-your-face, wild, or lo-fi for some. Not me, that's part of what I love about them. I love "Bad Boy Street" too, and I feel I can safely recommend it to those open-minded viewers who may yet be a bit hesitant when it comes to Todd Verow.

The film is shot entirely in Paris, France, and visually has a nice blue-grey look to some of the scenes, and is very pleasing to the eye throughout. There is more of a soft, celluloid look to Bad Boy Street than most of Verow's digital movies. The movie is basically a love story between handsome Claude (played by Yann de Monterno), a Parisian man, and Brad (played by Kevin Miranda), a younger sexy man who is not from Paris (you'll find out Brad's home later in the film). This is not a May-December romantic pair, but more like a May-August affair. Claude finds young Brad passed out cold on a side street, walks past, then has second thoughts and goes back to pick him up (literally) and...

WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH
So sad that I spent money on this DVD! It is unbelievable, badly written, well acted by the 3 main characters but very weak in storyline! Soundtrack is electronic beats and crummy soundbites that would have done better left out, The filming was beautiful as it showed Paris...... so that was the ONLY THING going for it! The lovers were handsome enough, and knew how to act, as well as the X-wife, but they had sorely LITTLE material to make it all interesting. This little film would have needed a whole lot more money spent on it's production value as the theme COULD BE interesting.

Superb-French-Style!!
I love this honest to goodness gay love traingle between fame and familiarity. An actor who knows he is gay and an older gentleman who knows who he is come together in this touching film. Don't let the title fool you!
