Great

One of the best movies of the year. It is only too bad that independent films never get the regonition they deserve. Definately a must see. November 18, 2008

Doctor's Orders

What could easily be dismissed at first, A Four Letter Word, offers us a glimpse into the world of Luke, played by the fabulous, Jesse Archer, who rambles through life and meets Stephen, played by Charlie David. The frivolity of their gay world never seems funnier then when these two get together, but when I thought about it, I realized that these two characters co-created by director, Caspar Andreas and Mr. Archer break through sexual mores without utilizing the typical devices and constructs that are likened to most other gay movies. I am intrigued to see what comes next from these two gifted men, and I hope they don't spend too much time worrying what others have to say about their movies, including myself. A Four Letter Word is funny, frivolous, and fraught with issues most other gay movies wouldn't dare get entangled in. October 27, 2008

Better than expected

This is a step above most gay themed movies. I enjoyed the humor and drama, the acting was good, and it's one I'll watch again. October 8, 2008

A fun time will be had by all

"A Four Letter Word" is one of the best times I've had viewing a movie in a long time. The movie sails along, holding your attention until the credits roll across the screen. A lot of the credit goes to the director and the editor, but this is also a fine-looking cast, especially the lead actor, Jesse Archer, who's one of the handsomest men in film. More to the point, he is fun to watch as well and he dominates every scene he's in. This is not meant to be a deep, analytical view of gay men and sex in the new millennium, but a fun romp with interesting characters. If you want to be entertained, this movie will certainly do it.

Sweet, silly, so-so

This is a popcorn and soda movie with a heart. It's a good date movie, so I won't say much about the plot. The main characters are all charming and cute, but they are all stereotypes--charming, cute stereotypes whose adventures are fun to watch. And the ending is happy in the right way.
