    Trick is a 1999 American gay-themed romantic comedy film directed by Jim Fall and starring Christian Campbell, John Paul Pitoc, Miss Coco Peru, and Tori Spelling. Independently produced by Eric d'Arbeloff, Ross Katz, and Fall, the film was written by Jason Schafer. Trick premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1999 and was later released theatrically by Fine Line Features that July. The film grossed $2 million at the United States box office, which was seen by Fine Line Features as "credible business".

    Since its release, the film has been considered a gay cult classic. It was later adapted as a stage musical, titled Trick! The Musical, in 2025, with book and lyrics by Schafer and music by Arthur LaFrentz Bacon.
