Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's hard to imagine that anyone other than a financial backer of this film or the mother of the director or script writer would consider this the best film they had ever seen (perhaps it is the ONLY gay movie they have ever seen?) or that it was a cross-over hit (just as "Gigli" was that monster rom-com/action thriller that Hollywood was always hoping for to finally overthrown "Titanic" at the top of the box office).The plot is highly contrived and even for the time it was produced, full of very clichéd roles (such as the drag queen in the pool party scenes at the start of the film) or the trite situations throughout the film, such as the "break up," "cheating," "flats of strawberry reconciliation," etc. As other reviewers have noted, there are just way too many scenes that would never ring true, even in a bad sitcom or Lifestyle movie of the week, such as the mother's rapid conversion to soberhood.I was caring for a friend's dog and otherwise house sitting while they were out of the country and came down with a cold. They have Netflix streaming is this was one of a very few handful of gay films on Netflix I had not seen (and many of the films that fall in this category was actually even worse dogs then this -- we're talking NEGATIVE vote numbers like -10 if IMDb allowed those scores) or I would likely have also stopped watching this after the first few minutes, but it reminded me so much of the essentially plot of "Patrik 1.5" that I wonder if that script writer was aware of this dross. They do have Netflix in Sweden after all....

Get Your Stuff. Two homosexual guys who want to adopt a baby are asked to take care of two pre-teens for their social worker for one night, buttttt!I found this movie to be very refreshing. The two lead guys were masculine , looked like regular guys and made an believable pair. They were always cuddling and had sex (almost) 2-3 times. Ha Ha. The foster kids did a great job as the two ( almost Mobster Kids ) who bring the story of adoption to a new height . You hate them at first , but grow to like them later. The mother who is an mainliner, and drunk , was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix , Kimberly Scott the probation officer, both did a smash-up job. There were parts for sheer laughter and parts for some tears . But all in all it was a great little flik , that has some serious social problems to work out. Cameron Watson (Phil) and Anthony Paul Meindl (Erik) Are the adopting couple and thru all the confusion have to come to terms with their love and what it entails. Phil is also an love councilor for the gay community , Erik is an lawyer . Hop aboard its' fun , will make you feel good. Sure there are some things that just don' seem right , but heh what movie is perfect...,I give this movie 7/10 ciao yaaah69

Like a wine that turns to vinegar, Get Your Stuff has not aged well. Somehow the antics of two wealthy gay men in Beverly Hills was amusing at the time; now it's over-dramatic and condescending. Did they add more footage to the DVD? You'll be sitting on the fast-forward button as the one-dimensional characters develop into... saccharin-sweet one-dimensional characters.In an early scene, the couple decides to sleep in separate bedrooms, so as not to offend the children. Since when are successful millionaire gay men closeted?The unbelievable plot and under-developed characters will forever live on as a reminder of how NOT to make a gay film.

I laughed and I cried when I saw this movie. What a great cast, they all blended in perfectly well together. I have seen many, many gay films, but this is the best one that I have ever seen. Kudos to the Director, Max Mitchell, and to the excellent cast.Thanks for making a remarkable and unforgettable movie.
