Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Why have I never heard of this film? This is stupid! I'm sort of a gay film buff right now, since I'm researching a novel - and I only recently came across this gem. I'm laughing out loud at almost every scene - this film is fantastic! In your face and subtle at the same time, attention to detail and a clean write.Why was this not the next Birdcage? This is so hilarious! People are missing out! Fire some executive, goddamn it!Sharp and sensitive writing, and playful directing, inspired acting and very, very good music. Clever, silly, sensual, serious, gross - all my fave ingredients!What went wrong? Somebody should be kicking themselves in the balls for not pushing this film harder.Thank you for creating this beautiful comedy and funny drama! My kind of thing. I offer my creative embrace, but it feels it's too little.

Though this movie takes place post-2001, it plays as if it takes place in the early 90s - the montage of the two men dating has repeated scenes of anti-gay (minor) violence, parents taking their kids away from seeing two men kiss, etc. As well, Steve's roommate talks about the gay scene as if it were still entirely defined by anonymous sex and bathhouses. While I suppose that the gay community is entitled to its outdated and belittling movies just like the straight community, this movie is not heartwarming or a good portrayal of the modern gay community. I was hoping for a happy-go-lucky and sweet movie, and just got annoyed and offended.

Why some the the better-known actors were willing to attach their names to this "so-bad- it's-awful" flick, I do not know. Cartoonish script, over-acted roles, under-directed scenes, ridiculously lame costumes...you name it, this inept attempt at a comedy possesses it times ten.Even the "1987" opening of the film is off-base, with music and wardrobe missing the mark by about three years. The two lead characters presented during this segment bear no resemblance to their 17-years-later counterparts.Randomly mixing "Airplane"-style slapstick with standard sitcom fare results in an awkwardly unfunny "farce."The gay-bashing "joke" running throughout the film isn't funny - getting hit in the head with a full beer bottle can do some serious damage. Is the intended gay audience happy with a film that appears intent on making them look like morons? Yes, it's a freshman flick by one of the two leads, but being that he's been in several gay-themed films, you'd think some of the earlier, more professional experiences would have "rubbed off."

along comes this DVD, which i picked up and bought on impulse. i'm not sure if the film was ever released in my city, and if it was, i wasn't aware. at any rate, i did want to see it after reading about it in "metro". i'm not going to blather on about the plot, storyline, etc., but i am going to throw in my 2 cents.1. yes, it's formulaic and predictable on the whole, but it makes the viewer comfortable by giving enough of the formula for it to be familiar -- that's a good thing.2. the movie is a comedy, so a certain amount of levity is expected. what's unexpected is that it is riddled with wit and off-the-wall situations. it also tackles some really serious stereotypes and spins them into things that are really just plain silly (again, the whole comfort thing seems to be the underlying theme). it touches on subjects like homophobia and presents it as something other than hateful, rather just plain stupid; that revealing a gay relationship to your loved ones will not necessarily mean that the sky will fall, etc. it presents these things, among others, without being preachy, patronizing, or totally unrealistic.3. how can one not want to watch this movie? though only supporting, one of the best actresses working is in it -- Ms. Parker Posey -- she should be enough of a reason to see it. also while Chris Kattan was okay in the movie, i wonder (in light of the recent pepsi commercials), if the movie would have been funnier had Jimmy Fallon played Chris's character...(the mind wanders)...and Malcolm Gets...*sigh/swoon*kudos to Craig Chester for writing and directing this very friendly and comfortable movie. it was over-the-top, yes, but that serves *not* to alienate the viewer: there are no icky affection scenes or situations (though some may disagree), and really the movie just gives you permission and license to take some things at face value. not everything needs to be dissected and that being gay (even with all its baggage and burdens) does not have to be serious all the time. it is definitely a gay movie in more ways than one. just watch it. =)
