Lawyer Christopher Bedford (John-Michael Lander) is a handsome, clever, rich gay man every guy in Boston wants. In a bedroom scene he says to his partner, ''Everybody wants me. So why should I want you?'' At 31 he's celebrating his greatness without realizing what a mess he has become. Smug and self-satisfied, accustomed to meaningless sex with men he never sees again, he is shocked when he finds himself with a man who is the complete opposite of everything he thought he wanted--Stewart (David Vincent), an editor who sends him flowers with love notes attached. But is it really love, or will Christopher soon grow bored with someone so honest and genuine? Larry (Jay Corcoran), Christopher's friend and co-worker, asks him, ''Are you telling me you went out with a guy who doesn't work out?''
"All the Rage" is a satire on the shallow twinks and gym bunnies in the gay world, but the acting is not so good and the film is quite tame. However, some viewers think it is very funny, and an accurate look at gay life in the big city. Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas called it, "One of the sharpest, sexiest and most amusing satires of gay life and values ever filmed." It is widely considered a hallmark of the Queer Independent Film movement of the late 1990s and is considered groundbreaking for its critical look at so-called A-list gay culture. Directed by Roland Tec, who also wrote the screenplay from his play "A Better Boy".
