Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.

Creatures from the Pink Lagoon (2006) Directed by Chris Diani

Joseph [about water pistols] I just thought water sports would be a great ice breaker.
Randall: Honey, truer words were never spoken.

The year is 1967, the summer of Love.  Phillip (Nick Garrison) is on his way to a birthday bash on Pink Lagoon.  The only problem is his boyfriend, Bobby (Bill Morrison) won't be able to make it.  He apparently has to work.

Sadly, as we can see, the only thing Bobby is working is that tired old, ‘I dropped my lighter' routine down at the Exit 5 Rest Stop.  The Exit 5 Rest Stop is notable for a few things; anonymous sex, mosquitoes, and its close proximity to the Chemical Plant.

But back at Stan's (Lowell Deo) he is putting on a lovely party for Phillip with Billy (Vincent Kovar) his beefy boyfriend, Randall (Phillip D. Clarke) a bitter old queen like Paul Lynd without the charm, Randall's flavor of the weekend, Gary (John Kaufmann) and a cousin of Phillip's, Joseph (Evan Mosher) the nerdy and still closeted friend.

Well things are going as well as can be expected with five queens and one underdone piece of fresh meat; Billy and Gary are down by the lake, making out when they discover a severed human arm.  A frantic call to the police, and copious throwing up on Phillip's part later, and Officer Harding (Craig Mathews) is having Gary show him his body part...and yes, that is what I mean.  But while they are going at it,  they are attacked by Zombies!  The hills are alive with...the undead!  Worse, these seem to be the men infected by the mosquitoes at the Exit 5 Rest Stop.  They in point of fact are gay zombies!  This leads to an important discovery; they won't eat Phillip; they seem to be allergic to the residual effects of Bobby's Butch 22 cologne!  Fortunately, Randall bought a gift set as a gag gift, and now the boys of Pink Lagoon are armed!  But will water pistols full of cheap cologne  get them past an army of dead homos determined to eat them up?

Oh Lord, this movie is so bad.  It is so cheap, I figure the cast were paid in coupons to the Sizzler.  It was filmed in black and white for economic reasons, not aesthetics.  But it is FUNNY.  The cheese is bleu cheese, from all the sly comments and innuendos, and they fall at a rapid fire pace, with a flawless and catty delivery.  Now, this movie is not for the homophobic, except perhaps as a form of (much deserved) punishment but if you love show tunes and campy old comedies, or campy old Zombie movies, you are going to love this!

Every gay stereo type is represented; love struck nancy boy, bitter and vicious old queen, gym bunny, young, dumb and....well, never mind.  And of course for a Zombie movie, it is the black guy, Stan, who has the level head and the survival instincts, in a lovely homage to Night of the Living Dead.  Even undecided geeks who may or may not be gay are deftly poked.  In fact, everyone in the movie gets poked.  But there is nothing malicious here, except for Randall.  It's all in good fun, and it makes for a good, funny enjoyable BAD movie.

And you better believe this is entered in my "Let There Be Lips!" Rocky Horror Write Off.
It is also Lean-N-Mean (like Randall) at 586 words.
