Feature presentation  Metro Weekly Rating: starstarstarstar (4
out of 5)  by Sean Bugg  WHEN EVALUATING the quality of a gay
film festival, one has to ask: Is there anything more critic-
proof than a movie featuring show tunes and penises?   Naked
Boys Singing pretty much has its festival box office built into
the title. And while it's not a stunning achievement of cinema
by any stretch of the imagination, it does end up being an
entertaining, if slight, diversion.  For those who caught the
D.C. production of the legendary off-Broadway hit, the film
version of Naked Boys offers a different experience -- namely
better production values and better eye candy. For the most
part, the film is a straightforward presentation of a stage show
with an audience, although from time to time it veers into odd
editing that enhances the feel of it being a ''movie,'' but
undercuts the experience itself.  R
