Of all the gay-themed films screened during my Thanksgiving Day marathon, this was the biggest disappointment.
I don't look for reasons to dislike a film; I truly do my best to watch a movie on its own terms. But sometimes a movie comes along that fails on so many levels. Poorly shot, badly edited and incompetently directed, there is almost nothing to recommend about "Wrecked" (save for the decent performance by the lead).
I would have forgiven the film all these flaws had there been a good story, but there really wasn't one to speak of. Hell, I could even forgive the lack of story had the film been poetic and lyrical... but it wasn't.
Calling this film borderline pornography is, quite frankly, an insult to the pornographic film industry.
