“Let the Manhunt begin!” when Luke enters the gay bar flanked by his sidekicks, he doesn’t know that he
is about to meet his match—in hot macho man Stephen. Awakening in a twisted heap of naked
strangers, Luke heads to work at a Chelsea sex store where he is forced to face his lifestyle by his coworker
Zeke, a confrontational gay crusader who will stop at nothing short of changing the world.
Up the street, actor/waiter Peter is moving in with his long time boyfriend Derek. His restaurant boss
Marilyn is maniacally planning her wedding, but when her AA sponsor, Trisha, declares her attraction,
Marilyn’s sobriety and marriage may be in jeopardy.
Smitten with Stephen, Luke considers giving monogamy a chance. He attends a sexual compulsives
meeting where he discovers he is not the only nympho in New York. Luke is falling for Stephen, but it
soon turns out that Stephen’s cash doesn’t flow from a trust fund; he works hard for his money—as a
hustler!
A relationship between a playboy and a prostitute depends on whether that is the only secret Stephen is
keeping. Among party boys, monogamists, addicts and activists, Luke’s quest may unearth answers his
heart is not ready to handle. The protagonists ultimately realize that being true to yourself may be the
best way to deal with the many complications of A Four Letter Word called love. --© Official Site

Reviews for A Four Letter Word
...explores gay life in New York primarily through the eyes of Luke ... who is so busy trying to sparkle that he's made himself into the perfect gay cliché.
Archer’s acting is overly arch, but Cory Grant is quite effective as Zeke.
A gay romantic comedy, witty and charming enough to stand up to any boy-meets-girl date flick in the megaplexes.
The cliches of bad gay filmmaking were lampooned in 2006's Another Gay Movie. Well, here's another gay movie. Things haven't moved an inch.
The film also serves up latte-frothy glimpses of an all-drag bridal shower, an erotic spinning class, and - all of 90 seconds into the proceedings -- naked yoga. Don't forget to bring your wipe-down towel.
It’s always a treat when a movie seems to be exactly the movie that the filmmakers intended to make, and their audience wants to see. It’s also a treat when it’s a good movie, too.
There is no denying that Andreas is really trying to say something about the difficulty of real intimacy in a society where easy sex lies in wait on every corner of Manhattan.
Lots of four-letter words get tossed around in Caspar Andreas' naughty sequel to his cheekily titled Slutty Summer, but the scariest one of all is the L word: love.
A Four Letter Word is a surprisingly endearing romantic comedy that explores gay relationships with low-budget verve.
You gotta fight for love, says the movie, but why bother when it looks so darn dull and annoying?
How dismally arch and self-satisfied can a Chelseacore sex comedy get?
The semi-earnest A Four Letter Word comes off like an insular gay sitcom, a la Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey, but without the honed verbal wit.
[Director] Andreas rescues A Four Letter Word from being merely a raunchy lil' romance by showing how his characters are steeped in a culture of therapy that has filled Americans with endless, compulsive self-analysis and self-doubt.
