M. D. Tarrington, DBE There are too many incongruities here. (1) After an hour sitting in the corridor owing to his roommate's commercial activities, why didn't Jared go to the desk clerk and ask, "May I please have another room? Javier's turning tricks in there and I really would like a place to sleep." (2) Middle-aged blind women who insist on tightly locked doors do not customarily hire young men as companions in their houses without checking references. (3) Andrew leaves Matthew the very day after he has told Jared that he intends to try to make the relationship last. We didn't get to see the tearful scene (or terrific fight) after Andrew took Jared home. It's a pity, for it probably would have been the best scene in the picture. (4) Mrs. Haines's supposed wealth was not reflected in her very ordinary and plain residence.Jared's video diary was an interesting device and could have been used to turn a really effective plot point had there been one. The gratuitous sex is not unpleasing to the eye, but it does not redeem this silly picture.

dirtyjesus This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, although it is pretty bad. I could at least watch it, and Corey is adorable.The dialog is stiff and forced. It often seems like the actors are performing impromptu. There are numerous technical errors. Lighting being the most notable. The sex scenes are seemed strange to me because in each of them the young men roll over onto their bellies to have there underwear removed. I don't know if I missed something, but it was strange because it happened every time - no variety.If you're into really bad movies, try Travelling to Olympia. Now that's bad!

harrysdixonjr In the commentary, the director says that the movie is a traditional tragi-comedy with a moral appropriate for young students. Considering the tendency of independent movies to plumb mysterious spiritual depths, it is refreshing to see a movie that takes a dim view of materialism and selfishness. (The mysterious depths of contemporary movies are usually the astonishing ability of Hollywood to peddle psychobabble and drivel as intelligent.) The explicit scenes introduce a dark theme: is passion a bottomless pit? Are physical pleasures ever enough? The movie is an interesting and amusing contrast to Sunset Strip. Here the old woman is a saintly grandmother and her son is horny ho. The movie was made by a young director in one week. His budget was probably a lot less than 1% of the budget for a typical Hollywood movie made for a general release.

tulsastorm The Journey of Jared Price has some very talented actors considering it is an indie film. The plot has potential as well. However, the dialogue becomes contrived at times if not completely ad libbed (ex., when Jared goes to Robert's room). About half way through the movie, the story seems to turn into the journey of Matthew Haines more than Jared. The scenes with Matthew and his assistant are pointless. We know Matthew is a creep, and he doesn't take her advice anyway. Furthermore, a trusting relationship between the two was not established as well as the relationship between Mrs. Haines and Jared. More time should have been spent on the budding relationship between Robert and Jared. Other than a few minor gripes, this movie is definitely worth watching at least once.
