“Trick is a story of a late 20 something gay kid played by Christian Campbell who has been going through a breakup and after a bit of a drought is not having any success. Right now heu0026#39;d settle for a one night stand of hot passion.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEspecially after seeing J.P. Pitoc up on the stage of that gay bar doing the bumps and grinds, itu0026#39;s the man of his dreams. Fate is seemingly kind to him when he leaves the bar and he winds up on the same train as the object of his affection. Pitoc gets off at the same stop, eye contact is met and itu0026#39;s off to Campbellu0026#39;s place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich he shares with his straight roommate Brad Beyer and has a female friend played by Tori Spelling who just bounces in whenever she needs to use or borrow something. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen they go to Pitocu0026#39;s world, Campbell is a bit put off by the partying world of the go-go boys. Will they ever get down to the slap and tickle?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite the emphasis on sex and one night stands, Trick is really a delightful romantic comedy with a gay twist. Tori Spelling by dint of her name recognition from 90210 is top billed though sheu0026#39;s really in a supporting role. Sheu0026#39;s very funny in the role of the gay manu0026#39;s best straight woman friend who really wants to dominate the lives of the gay people around her. Also a bit sad.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBoth Christian Campbell and J.P. Pitoc have gone on to some substantial careers on the big screen, small screen, and on stage. Pitoc made his film debut here in Trick. Both of them are cast well and I do love the eternal theme of the film that people can be quite a bit deeper than original impressions may make.”
