One of the more unusual gay films, Cowboy Junction offers a surreptitious romance, steamy sex, one sexually-frustrated wife, a doe-eyed gay cowboy and a horny, married, gay man who wants it all. The results? A turbulent, emotion-and-sex-packed ride through suburbia which makes the women of “Desperate Housewives” look like god-fearing virgins in comparison. A chiseled, but tender gay cowboy (James Bobby) is picked up by a married man in an almost surreal gay pick-up area in the parched desert. After their passionate quickie, the husband (Gregory Christian) brings the hunk home, telling his young wife (Elyse Mirto) that he is the new handyman who will live in the back garage. Lies are built on lies, as the two men begin an affair under the increasingly suspicious wife’s nose. And making matters worse, the sexually frustrated wife has her own plans for the often shirtless and sweaty cowboy. How will this turn out? Only bad, my fellow film lovers, only bad. With the pent-up secrets and sexuality of a Tennessee Williams play, this pot-boiler just might boil over.
