In BOYSTOWN (Chuecatown), Victor (Pablo Puyol) is a real estate agent in the quickly gentrifying neighborhood of Chueca in Madrid. But he hides a terrible secret; his apartments become available for sale when he murders the elderly women owners and disguises them as suicides. Then Victor quickly refurbishes the apartments to upwardly-mobile gay couples because his ultimate goal is to transform the neighborhood into a hip gayborhood like the Castro in San Francisco and Chelsea in New York.
The latest victim’s apartment is next door to gay couple Ray (Carlos Fuentes) and Leo (Pepón Nieto) who eventually inherit the apartment and offer it as a gift to Ray s mother Antonia (Concha Velasco). But Victor only wants high income gays to move in and he begins a plot to remove Antonia from the premises. Toss in the eccentric Inspector Mila (Rosa Maria Sardà) and her charmingly clueless son Luis, assigned to investigate the murders, and soon the neighborhood of Chueca is brimming with comic mishaps, sexy seductions and more murders!

Kritiken (1)
Chuecatown besticht vor allem durch seine schwarzhumorige Thematik und seine witzigen Charaktere, die von einer energisch zupackenden Mutter und einem Kommissar mit Phobien von A bis Z dominiert werden. Eine tiefere Geschichte darf man in diesem Fall nicht erwarten, denn der Film ist rein zur Unterhaltung gedacht, was ihm dank der skurrilen Figuren auch durchaus gelingt. Ein unprätentiöser Quatsch mit allem Drum und Dran!
