Moving a bit forward we are in Lewis's (Mark Cirillo) hotel suite and with Lewis (the one who did not get involved with the lap dancing) and Cooper (Scott Sell). The film opens at Cooper's bachelor party and we see some exotic dancing from a hired female stripper but we also notice that one of the party guests does not get involved. I must admit that after the first few minutes of the film I thought I had it all figured out but to my chagrin it took a totally different direction than what I expected.
It is all about a one-night stand that lasts for 12 years. Now this is going to be a bit difficult to describe the film without giving something away but I will say that this is a movie filled with surprises. Evidently I am not alone in praising the film because this morning 8/10/14 it won the Alternative Spirit Award Grand Prize at the Rhode Island International Film Festival! This the first year they've split the features away from the shorts, into separate categories. Director Mark Bessenger ('Bite Marks') sent me at advance copy and I watched it last night. 'The Last Straight Man' A 12 Year Long One Night Stand Amos Lassen 'The Last Straight Man' is going to be one of the movies of the year, I predict.
