Man of the Year (1995)

He as a centerfold who revealed everything ... but the truth.

Genre : Comedy

Runtime : 1H 26M

Director : Dirk Shafer

Synopsis

First-time director Dirk Shafer also penned this raucous "mockumentary," a blend of fact and fiction that re-creates his 1992 reign as Playgirl magazine's Centerfold of the Year. When Shafer chooses to keep the fact that he's gay a secret from the magazine's editors, he finds himself living the ultimate lie -- and incapable of giving female readers what they really want. Will he succumb to his lover's pressures to come out of the closet?
