Leave your thoughts about Formula 17.
| Village VoiceAkiva GottliebIt might be, empirically speaking, the gayest movie ever released. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThere are no women or straight men left in Taipei. At least that's the impression left by Formula 17, in which every single person (except for one child) is a gay cutie. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohPresents such a barrage of grotesquely mugging, swishy stereotypes, coupled with a total lack of wit or style, that mere minutes into it, you are groaning and peering at your watch. |

| User ReviewMakka ATHIS IS THE BEST GAY MOVIE EVER! HILARIOUS!!! Everyone should watch it to make their lives worth living!! I am an absolute fan, the ringtone my of my cellphone is actually the main song from the movie. I fell in love with the characters and I plan to be C.C. in my next life. |
| User ReviewDrae CDecidedly different kind of love story, an honest-to-goodness gay romance with a happy ending! Who'd have imagined? I like how this movie depicts gay relationships in a more human light, a nice alternative to the usual fare that seems to permeate modern gay films and TV. There is a sweetness here that suggests that gender is irrelevant. Very cute. Watch it, appreciate it. I wish the makers of this film would do another. |
| User ReviewAlexandria BFor a homosexual movie this is very good and I usual don't like to see this kind of stuff but yeah it was good and plus it had some HOT guys in it. |

| User ReviewRigdzin DDO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY! (but that's why it's soo great) The perfect movie to watch just for the fun of it. |
