Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Sexy couple Zack and Benji decide to have an “open” weekend to partake in the smorgasbord of available men on their vacation to a gay getaway in Palm Springs. When Zack runs into his ex-boyfriend Casey at the resort, they both do their best to look like they are having a good time. How could they not, when they are surrounded by cute, frisky guys with six-packs and very little clothing?

“Relationships have rules...but some rules were meant to be...OPEN.”

This is the 5th and probably final installment in the series. The series had humor and the stories weren't bad and one of the few movies that had full frontal for guys, which is so rare to see, although the stories were a bit over the top and not very realistic. Personally in a series I prefer to see the same characters grow, but mostly this was like a revolving door of characters and only a few stayed around. By this final movie only one character from the first one was in it, and that was only a cameo appearance.
