Does “Frank” need fixing? Well if he does, he’s not the only thing as this really far-fetched and contrived drama unfolds. He (Andrew Elvis Miller) is a patient of psychologist “Dr. Aspley” (Dan Butler) who is ostensibly trying to suggest that he can essentially talk his patient out of his homosexuality. What we quickly discover is that his boyfriend “Dr. Baldwin” (Paul Provenza) is a man out to wreck the career of his fellow physician and aspiring journalist “Frank” is the tool he intends to use to prove his assertions of professional malpractice. Now, aside from the interesting aspects of the nature/nurture debate that could have been advanced by this scenario of conflicted approaches to sexuality and associated clinical assessing, this film is poorly acted and written with some frankly hair-raisingly simplistic assertions made using a cinematic technique that was akin to “Frank” having a devil on each shoulder. I wouldn’t bother with this, sadly, it’s a solid idea but messily executed and has the look more of a low-budget soap than a poignant drama to it.
