Product Description
Let the Manhunt begin! when Luke enters the gay bar flanked by his sidekicks, he doesn t know that he is about to meet his match in hot macho man Stephen. Awakening in a twisted heap of naked strangers, Luke heads to work at a Chelsea sex store where he is forced to face his lifestyle by his co-worker Zeke, a confrontational gay crusader who will stop at nothing short of changing the world.
Up the street, actor/waiter Peter is moving in with his long time boyfriend Derek. His restaurant boss Marilyn is maniacally planning her wedding, but when her AA sponsor, Trisha, declares her attraction, Marilyn s sobriety and marriage may be in jeopardy.
Smitten with Stephen, Luke considers giving monogamy a chance. He attends a sexual compulsives meeting where he discovers he is not the only nympho in New York. Luke is falling for Stephen, but it soon turns out that Stephen s cash doesn t flow from a trust fund; he works hard for his money as a hustler!
A relationship between a playboy and a prostitute depends on whether that is the only secret Stephen is keeping. Among party boys, monogamists, addicts and activists, Luke s quest may unearth answers his heart is not ready to handle. The protagonists ultimately realize that being true to yourself may be the best way to deal with the many complications of A Four Letter Word called love.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
