It's a very odd bag of very uneven quality--one third compelling psycho-drama, one third boring screen filler, and another third hilarious/embarrassing sap--but I'd much rather watch this oddity again (and again) than the next generic Hollywood pap. ...
Unfortunately, Chad Connell ("Daniel") overacts as a talk show host who thrives on getting big name celebrities to admit things on air and so his ratings soar! Privately, however, he is a psychological and emotional void of a man. He seeks sex from male escorts and has no ties to anyone; he also sta ... rts to find himself suffering from panic attacks. His body finds it's own, unique, way of facing his demons and getting him through the trauma. Good efforts from David Cameron ("Alexander" - a sort of Zac Efron-lite) and Tamara Gorski ("Barb") help him to get to the root of his problems and although the pace of this film is really slow, and the frenetic score a bit irritating at times, it is still a decent looking effort with some interesting twists.
