Rating:  - if there is less than one star
To me, this movie is just rubbish; it's like one guy who did a home production movie. picking up scenes from Rock Hudson's movies and explains his fantasies over it, no true proof but an imagination and self point of views, no pictures of Rock in any suspicious situations at all, it's just rubbish. Sorry to say so but I was completely disappointed of what I saw. But after all rock will still be a symbol of masculinity. He's gone so don't messes up his past remember him as a golden age celebrity even ... Read More
Rating: - **** NOT FOR ENTERTAINMENT - NOT RECOMMENDED ! ****
IT'S LIKE A COLLEGE ESSAY/PAPER AND QUITE BORING! MANY PICTURES ARE CLIPPED FROM THE OLD MOVIES THAT YOU CAN FIND - NOT MUCH ROCK'S PERSONAL LIFE. AND I DO NOT LIKE THE JOKES IN THE BONUS. ROCK HUDSON'S HOME MOVIES IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ENTERTAINMENT!
Rating: - Disappointing look at Rock
This was the longest hour watching a movie that I've spent in a long time. First, it's not really home movies at all, but cuts from Rock's movies that he is presumed to have shown at home to his friends. There is a guy who plays Rock speaking in the first person, but this obvious fiction is set in a documentary style as if it all really happened. That seems unlikely -- I can't imagine Rock himself was ever this boring. You'd be much better off watching Rock's real movies and inferring the gay content ... Read More
Rating: - Not quite what the title implies
This film covers in a limited sense what THE CELLULOID CLOSET covers more professionally and comprehensively. The title refers to the reel of gay and homoerotic scenes from Hudson's studio films that he compiled for showing to his friends at parties. There are no candid home movie clips (no shots of Rock by the pool, Rock and Tab Hunter playing croquet, or of anyone dressed in women's clothes). If you can surmount that disappointment, it should be noted that the studio clips are mostly of extremely poor ... Read More
Rating:  - Clever
This clever film uses clips from Rock Hudson's Hollywood movies to tell the truth about his gay life. You will not be able to see those films the same way again. If you liked " The Celluloid Closet" you'll like this movie
