Rubax Video - Kept Boy (2017)
This film is an adaptation of Robert Rodi's popular 1996 book KEPT BOY, updated a bit, with a fine cast and the result is a well-timed gender variation love story that plays quite well. KEPT BOY addresses many issues in the gay community but the universality of this story is that it happens to women, too. The film mixes humor, lust, relationships, ageism and dreams with a fine dose of polish. The reviews of Robert Rodi's 1996 book suggest it was written as a comedy of manners, but the film takes a less light-hearted reading than the rom-com poster implies.
Dennis lives with his sugar daddy that is real life TV type Farleigh who has more money than sense and likes to have his significant other not too far away. Dennis has grown used to the easy life and the trimmings of success but with his main actual achievement being 'looking smashing in athletic wear' Thing is time and tide wait for no man and after a life of lazy margheritas it is not going to be too long before age starts to show. Then enters Jasper, he's hunky, he's sultry, he's Latino and he is the new pool guy. But not for long – soon Farleigh has more than his interest piqued and all of a sudden Dennis has competition - big time.
