"3-Day Weekend"
One Unforgettable Weekend
Amos Lassen
Ever since I saw Rob Williams' first film "Long-Term Relationship", I have been a fan. Now with three films on DVD, I realize that others have also discovered him. Robb's new film is quite different than his other two in that it does not just deal with one gay couple but several and takes a deep look at the relationships between gay men.
"3-Day Weekend" is about a group of gay men during one weekend which was filled with drama and a touch of intrigue. Simon and Jason are a long time couple and every year they meet with a group of guys on a weekend away from their regular city lives. They are traditionally joined by Cooper and whatever his newest boy toy happens to be. This year, in order to spice up the weekend, each guy must invite a single friend to come up to the mountain retreat. When the weekend begins we have a naked yoga instructor, a former college roommate, a co-worker of Simon who is a bit uptight and a high-priced "exclusive" hustler. These with the other four guys manage to make this weekend one that none of the guys will forget.
Instead of being a weekend of fun as planned, the combination of men stir up each other and the atmosphere is very tense and there are interesting happenings. By the end of the weekend and new combinations for the guys, some new relationships were formed and older ones seem to have lost stability.
We all know what can happen when a group of gay men together but I doubt that many of us get to see it. Rob Williams here gives us his most realistic film yet and there is plenty of drama here. The actors play their parts as if they are living them and all of them are good looking. What excels here is the dialog and the way the cast plays off of each other. This is the kind of movie that I love because it gives me things to think about and it lets us see what gay life is all about.

Just the right guy and just the wrong guy get found as "3 Day Weekend" takes a snapshot of men in various states of monogamy, marriage, momentary pleasure, and seperation.
The gorgeous "Weekend" gleefully admits that it is a thinly veiled homage to eight-gay-men-sitting-around-a-nice-house genre "The Boys in the Band" (1970) and "Love! Valour! Compassion!" (1997). But hey, fill a million dollar hunting lodge in SoCal with a 45-year-old muscle bear (Derek Long), a closeted 25-year-old self proclaimed "geek" (Chris Carlisle), and six male model types of various ages in between and you've got the makings of a party.
Take two couples -- one intergenerational, the other in an open relationship -- who take an annual weekend in the country and let them mix in their allegedly single friends for a change of pace. The secrets fly fast and furiously thanks to the invitation of Andre, a male hustler (Daniel Rhyder), that at least five of the guests already know. Buddhism translates to both a lust for life and an inability to button a shirt; turnabout becomes the most unfair play for a duo turned trio; the ambition to be paid to break hearts proves tempting; and with the exception of one or two characters who just don't seem to have any material whatsoever, Rob Williams' writing and direction soar. The assembled ensemble rises and shines. -- Thomas Heald, Pridelets.com
Overall, a 4 out of 5 December 20, 2008

I enjoyed this movie. The acting was pretty good, and the story was plausible, and one that many people can relate to, gay or straight. It's a movie I would watch again, and probably enjoy more the second time.

I thought this was a well done film, the music wasn't the greatest, but I felt that the actors tried to do the best with their parts. Each character brings you into the story and that is what is important! Take the time and give this one a chance!!
