Synopsis
15-year old Carlos Amoroso is a virgin - and he's desperate to change that. The object of his desire is Roxy, who doesn't even know Carlos exists. When he sees a television show where a clueless straight guy gets a makeover from a group of gay men, Carlos wonders if Sal, who's gay, might be able to help him. Even though things with Sal - and Roxy - don't turn out the way Carlos expected, through the course of the makeover Carlos learns about life and love, and finally starts to get it., Hoping to impress a sexy female classmate, 15 year old Carlos secretly hires gay student Sal to give him an image makeover, in exchange for Carlos's help in forming a Gay-Straight Alliance at their Texas high school., He clicked on "Queer Eye," a show where five gay dudes gave some grungy straight guy a makeover -- plucking his nose hairs, redecorating his apartment, and teaching him to bake a quiche -- so he could confidently propose marriage to his girlfriend and she'd tell him "yes." Which, of course, she did. On TV the guy always gets the girl. As Carlos watched, he recalled Sal, the supposedly gay guy at school. It was then that the idea first popped into his brain: If Sal truly were queer...could he possibly help Carlos'...Nor to propose to Roxy, of course -- at least not yet -- but to get her to maybe like him?, Fifteen year old Carlos is a virgin - and he's desperate to change that. The object of his desire is Roxy who doean't even know he exists. Carlos wonders if Sal, who's gay, might be able to help him.
