Boys in the Sand II also stars Casey Donovan and follows him as he screws his way across beaches and meadows and snazzy '80s-chic apartments. Fifteen years after Boys in the Sand (I) the conceit seems tired, as does Donovan (who would die of AIDS complications a year after the film's release). Boys in the Sand II is an undistinguished work. (Adapted from Gary Morris, Bright Lights Film Journal,May 2003, Issue 40, brightlightsfilm.com, see links)
