David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 08/31/2007
2.5/4
The performances are fairly static, but Lim and Leow are charming enough to hold our attention. Go to Full Review
Sid Smith Chicago Tribune 08/16/2007
1.5/4
Despite original touches, Cut Sleeve Boys is mostly a mediocre gay-themed movie plagued by tired humor and slapdash filmmaking. Go to Full Review
Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times 08/09/2007
2/5
Things tend to sputter about, feeling disconnected and episodic. Go to Full Review
David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 05/26/2020
Cut Sleeve Boys tries to parade a Norma Desmond-sized ego without the emotional underpinning of exactly what transpires when a man becomes a mensch after donning a dress. Go to Full Review

Terrible soap opera that not even the most ardent admirers of the most high-camp aspects of gay culture will find anything to their liking. Go to Full Review

04/27/2010 No es la pelicula gay mas radical, pero es una comedia sencilla que cumple con el cometido de divertir un rato. See more 01/11/2010 campy, bad acting, but i loved it. See more 10/14/2009 YESSSSSH, that's what GAYS do!! See more 07/08/2009 Very funny but edgy at the same time. See more 05/17/2009 This is one of those movies that pisses you off because you ignored your instincts and watched it anyway. The critics must have been bribed. I came into this expecting a thought-provoking insight into another sub-culture. A best friend in the pack dies tragically and the other two friends are brought to grips with their own mortality. Well, in this superficial treatment of grief, the only thing they think to do is go tranny to attract a butch man (who is into trannies, of course), and burn up their youth through the club circuit. All the while a young, fit, mostly-innocent-but-with-the-right-amount-experience guy comes to live with you and exclaims his love for you, all the while the signs of age are all over you, and you reject him? And not in the I-want-the-best-of-both-worlds way either. Total waste of time. See more 03/08/2009 "cut sleeve" is Chinese for "gay". It's a good movie with a good story and some situations one might relate to, or not. I think it's worth a look. See more Read all reviews
