The film was co-produced by Joe Gage and Mustang Productions, the first time they have linked up as such. And the result is a hit! It is a film that will have you coming back to see it a second and third time, some­ thing like the fantastic hit “Jockstrap”’ but it is not as well done as “Jockstrap.” “Jockstrap” was a strong four star rating, while this film is a strong three star, which is very good. The color and special effects with lighting make this a most unique film. No film done to date, has been able to utilize the shadows so effectively. And by so doing they certainly heighten the erotic moments more so. The word “hand” is what the film is about. And that is not a put-down. For, many people, a “hand- job,” is something that you just “do” and get it over with and usually done because one is homey and can’t get someone. But after seeing “HANDsome” you will perhaps and hopefully, explore and utilize the body you have and learn to enjoy your own body more. “HANDsome” gives a new meaning to the word “mas­ turbation” or “jacking ofP’ as they say in the streets. There are dozens and dozens of hot and hunky men “doing it,” with themselves as well as with others. And as you see these hot hung hunky studs giving them­ selves handjobs, you have wonder why you don’t do it Arare insight more often yourself, particularly when you see all the enjoyment they get out of it.
