Theresa | 15907 comments I felt disappointed in this - expecting it to be more fun than it was. The setting in Palm Springs is really great, as is the idea of a luxury rental company employee become involved in a murder or three and ending up working with a private investigator to see that the actual murderers are brought to justice. But ... I found the entire promiscuous gay culture both portrayed and which dominates Dante's thoughts, actions and relationships as just too 1980s before AIDS changed the landscape forever, and detracting from the overall plot. Even though it plays into the plot. I think this was for a certain audience and I'm not it.

I know you did. I was so optimistic and maybe that was part of the problem. I certainly was in the mood for something like it.
