That was an excellent one.

... View MoreNot 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.
... View MoreGiven the year (1996) of its release this film "Regular Guys" was quite progressive. A German police officer, who thinks of himself as "straight", unwittingly (he was falling-down drunk) goes home and ends up in the bed of a gay car mechanic. The two become roommates and grow very fond of each other. The car mechanic has an immediate crush on the cop. Gradually, the cop begins to question his sexuality in regards to rigid definitions of "straight" or "gay". The ending is a pleasant surprise -- although not a complete surprise.

View Morethat America is still quite puritanical despite what appears to be the contrary.i have to say that i adore German cinema, though can only understand less than 0.5% of the language (i don't mind the subtitles). the movie, on the surface, would seem formulaic, but it actually has a few twists and unexpected turns. there's some morality lesson in there, but it wasn't delivered in a preachy way -- rather it made for some hilarious dialogue among the main character and his supposed comrades.not much more to say other than it was a really great film. if you find witty and fast-paced dialogues, you'll enjoy the film. the movie makes you really reconsider and think twice about your preconceived notions about certain "types" of people...if you know what i mean.
... View MoreI'm a fan of films that have more than just the usual action or slapstick comedy and I was pleasantly surprised by this gamble at the video store. The film kept me entertained with it's original plot and timeless themes. It's about a cop who, after being dumped and thrown out of his apartment by his fiancé, getting drunk, and waking up in the arms of Edgar, is forced to question his own sexuality and the prejudices that have long been a part of his life. I recommend this movie to anyone because, even though it deals with homosexuality, it is not a "gay film" and even despite a rather "picture perfect" ending, I found it delightful throughout.
... View MoreThe police force does not seem to have much to do, so there remains plenty of time to bore the viewer to death with a confused story and a sloppy made film. The overdrawn political correctness makes the film very stuffy and the viewer aware that the makers just wanted to make a film with a message the market was ripe for; so, no honesty here.
