Rating: - Great Comedy
I originally rented the movie in the 1980s. I tried purchasing it recently, but was only able to find it used in a few places on-line, and only in a VHS format. I wish that it would be available in DVD format.
Rating: - Very dated for this day and age...
The movie handled this touchy topic well enough for it's time period, but now it feels very dated. There are some nice moments, such as when the straight cop finds out what it's like to be on the other end of the prejudice spectrum, from the inside. However, it really annoyed me that all the gay charactes were portrayed as complete stereotypes: drama queen or leather daddy. There seems to be nothing in between.
