Toy Soldiers is nowhere near Dead Poets caliber, just to forewarn you. But it does feature Sean Astin in a Dramatic Starring Role With Realy Manly Tears, and Wil Wheaton with an on-again/off-again New Yawk accent. And the naked. Good lord.

All in all, it's worth the price of a rental just for the humor value. And the slash. Which I'm sure I will write someday, because I'm pathetic like that.

As for being a cradler slasher, I'm right there with you. When I was nine I had a big love for the Three Investigators books, and I was always sure Jupiter and Bob were in love. Pete was a total ladies' man, but those other two? Gay.
