David Decoteau has devoted much of the last few years to a long series of romantic thrillers for the Lifetime Network, with female protagonists and plots about "the wrong people."Previously his movies always involved hunks hugging in their underwear, although DeCoteau claimed that he was not targeting gay men, and in fact had no idea that gay men existed. I wanted to know if he is continuing his characteristic "wait, guys who like guys exist? I had no idea!" homoerotic scenes, but I didn't want to track down and watch all the movies, even on fast-forward. So I just checked the cast list on IMDB to see what young men were cast because they look good in their underwear ("for women to look at").
1. The Wrong Child (2016). A boy moves in with a family, claiming to be their long-lost son. But he's not what he seems, naturally. Starring Johnny Whitaker, Tracy Nelson, Viveca A. Fox (the one who tried to barr men from attending her black male review; "it's only for women! Men don't need to be there!").
And Robbie Davidson as the hunk...um, I mean the wrong child.
4. The Wrong Crush (2017). A high school girl kills her best friend, and then must keep the secret from her boyfriend. I guess she's the wrong crush? Viveca A. Fox again. Several hunks (not pictured -- I'm running out of space).
6. The Wrong Cruise (2018). A mother and daughter go on a cruise and are kidnapped. Guess who plays the mom? Is Vivice A. Fox a contract player? For hunkoids, try Andres Londono (not pictured).
8. The Wrong Teacher. . A teacher picks up a young guy, only to discover that he's a student at her schol. Hey, if he's over 18 and not in her class, what's the problem? Have a look at Student Philip McElroy's biceps and basekt.
Ok, here's Leonardo, but DeCoteau owes me somebody black or Hispanic.
11. The Wrong Mommy. Oddly enough, there are no children here. Phoebe's new personal assistant is not what she seems (she wants revenge on Phoebe's mother). Lots of hunks in this one, but they have all appeared in earlier Wrong movies. I can't believe they're running out -- 3,000 guys with muscles and big penises arrive in Hollywood every week!
14. The Wrong House Sitter. Are they just picking social roles at random? A lot of hunksin this one, but mostly old pros from earlier movies. So let's go with John Spink (not pictured, but believe me, he has abs and a big penis.
This isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. When the plots are interchangeable, the hunks are sort of interchangeable, too: young, muscular, smooth-chested, hung to their knees, willing to use all of their assets to get the job.
Do you mind if I skip The Wrong Real Estate Agent, The Wrong Fiancee, The Wrong Barista, The Wrong Postal Carrier, The Wrong Lion Tamer, and The Wrong Landscape Architect so I can look up the cat guy on IMDB?
DeCotau is gay so I'm sure he was aware of his target audience. He has only two movies with gay story lines so this gay tease thing must be for commercial reasons. My favorite things in that his now buddget boys in briefs epics all seem to take place in the same exact house.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to be amused, check out his take on The House of Usher.
ReplyDeleteThis is just wrong.
ReplyDeleteHis best movies are "The Brotherhood" (2001) gay frat bros go after hunky jock Chris( Sam Page) there is a very hot threesome which teases with bisexuality. "Leeches" (2003) college swim team encounters mutated creatures. "Voodo Academy" (2000) a Bible college with a dark secret- is mainly an excuse to see guys in underwear rubbing themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe David Meza who was a porn actor and went to prison after killing his lover in 2015 is a different guy than the David Meza who acted in The Wrong Roommate and The Wrong Cheerleader. The David Meza who acted in those movies' real birth name is David Baracskai. He changed his name to David Meza soon after he began acting.
ReplyDeleteWow, two people with an extremely unusual name, both actors in gay-themed productions! What are the odds? I thought the Actors' Guild has rules against doubling up on names. Did THe other Daiv dMaza change his name back to Barakcskai so people wouldn't think he was a murderer?
ReplyDeleteDavid Mez the gay for pay killer looks more Latino than other David Meza. The murder was really brutal and not sure why he killed such a generous sugar daddy.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Boomer's original post, I almost did a doubletake, because I watched 'The Wrong Cheerleader' a few months ago, and that David Meza was a nicelooking kid (although he played a psychopath). I couldn't believe he was a murderer. I'm guessing that he doesn't realize that the name he picked belongs to a murderer. He ought to have kept his original name.
