Review
Effects a nice contrast between intimacy and the gay social scene, while a large cast of casual friends lend the core group authenticity --Variety
The banter is witty and the sex is hot, securing Whirlwind a sure spot in gay boys' hearts. --Southern Voice

Flat life-less acting, fairly poor script, and a very predictable storyline. Nothing special about this film. There are one or two good-looking actors to lift the viewing experience, but other than that it's just ~OK~.
I wouldn't want to put anyone off buying this film as it is very easy-viewing. If you want to put something on and not have to really think, then this is one of those films.

Don't expect anything special from this movie, as it borders on the mundane and predictable. The acting is lackluster, with no one actor standing out as significant or exceptionally good. Whilst there are moments where clever scripting and dialogue make for some interesting scenes, there is nothing particularly interesting about the story. Centered around a group of friends, dealing with their own issues, except that there is nothing different about their anxieties, passions and disappointments. In fact, a ordinary night out with your own friends would be pretty much the same.
The stories nemesis could have been far more interesting, but not much is explained to the audience about his motivations, except for some arbitrary statement about betrayal and his need to inflict such devastation on all around him. I for one did not buy it, and was never really convinced at his supposed skills of manipulations and deceit. Whilst good looks will cover a multiplicity of sins, most people are able to see the truth of such open flirtation and selfishness.
Give this one a skip, there are far better movies out there to spend your time and money on.

I had watched it without checking reviews posted on Amazon. I did it later. I can't agree with people, who call the movie very good and with those, who criticize it.
The main characters are likeable, but there is little chemistry between them. And the plot seems in some parts quite ridiculous (hmmm, 5 men, some of them in their late 30's behave like puppets in the hands of one mean gay...pls!)
I gave it 3 of 5 because it didn't hurt me to watch it till the end. It is not on my list "to buy", but if you have some time and possibilty to rent it, do it.
