Winterparty and MGLFF present
If "misfit gay sports comedies" can be called a whole new genre of film, then Guys and Balls takes that genre to a whole new level of hilarity. It's got a double-entendre title (this is a soccer flick), lots of goofy sports stunts and revealing locker room scenes, a cute lovelorn hero, and a team full of every possible wacky homo - from studly nurse and femmy Turk to a horny leather-bear threesome. Throughout, the humor lurches in fresh new directions, with laugh-out-loud sight gags and a wry send-up of silly sports machismo. In a rural German town where soccer is everything, Ecki's the champion goalie who just lost the game. As if that's not bad enough, the other players discover he's gay and banish him from the team. Vowing revenge, Ecki sets off to a nearby city to start his own all-gay squad and challenge the homophobic heteros. It's an uphill battle, taking wide-eyed Ecki from a hospital delivery room (enter studly nurse) to the slings of an S/M sex-club (enter leather-bears). Meanwhile, back at home, Ecki's weary parents endure homophobic gossip and a nonstop barrage of anal-sex jokes from a cranky old man. If Ecki's team can ever get their game together and take on the hometown squad, we're in for a raucous culture clash. Guys and Balls never takes its' coming-out tale too seriously, thank goodness, and it keeps the romance light and sexy. After all, it's only a game!
