I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie was like an adventure to me because it really added the twist on the religious side of being gay. The backup angel dancers were such an energetic and confident bunch,I hardly kept up with them! They have done such an amazing job on the dancing! I thought the actor that played God was excellent and really suited the role of being a 'father figure' even though God is meant to be a father but anyhow. Liz McCartney really stole the stage with her singing as Patty-Maye. I couldn't believe for a woman that sang beautifully, she could sing throughout a whole play without any breathing problems haha! No she was a truly excellent singer. Now onto the actors of 'Adam and Steve', I liked how Eddie really cared about his parents finding out he was gay because it seemed like he was prepared to move out but as you know, the parents accepted him for who he was after seeing the play which was touching! Then as for Paul, I was amazed that he didn't fall in love with his co-star but fell in love with a fan! It was really sweet but it gave the feeling that he was a 'stalker' rather then a 'lover'. I wasn't put off by that though because it seemed very romantic. I would love anyone to see this film and capture its musical style with brilliant actors and singers :)

An off-Broadway musical-in-the-film vaudeville, the musical is called"Adam and Steve, Just the Way God Made Them", so the skeletal story, one could effortless divine is a blasphemous entertainment, aftr Adam and Eve failed to achieve what God's expectancy to blossom in the Eden (thanks to the forbidden fruit), he instead dabs in molding a gay couple, the new Adam and Steve, but the film has no consistence in promoting the musical, since its absolutely small- scale theater and its episodic occurrences only methodically adjusts itself to be the perfect foil in mirroring two leading actors' mundane lives, nevertheless the musical parts are arguably the redeeming features with a patchwork of the angelic dancing routines (the angel Dorothy is horridly over-the-top), corrective therapy to cure gayness and the Catholic kitsch sermons, which are partly insanely funny, partly inanely tedious.There are no single ugly boys in the film, eye-candies are permeating, but the two leaders are considerably capable of doing more than just meet the eyes, Daniel Robinson gives an edge in his both physical movements and emotional thrust, (after a sudden and completely unexplained disappearance of his 3-weeks boyfriend, the once-believed-in-love boy decides to go wild), his rendition of "I WANNA BE A SLUT" is the crest of the entire film. Joey Dudding, who is dealing with the virgin coming-out cliché (with a bluff of HIV-panic), has his own moment in some strip- dancing solo presentation, but compared with Robinson's go-slutty transformation, his section has barely any praiseworthy flickering. By and large the film is as kitschy as any of its peers, thinking it too much is plain pointless and it is a timely reminder of us to cherish the day.

This is a story behind the making of a gay musical called "Adam and Steve: Just the Way God Made Them". It follows the backstage lives of Adam/Paul (Daniel Robinson) and Steve/Eddie (Joey Dudding). Paul wants love and commitment but seems to only find guys who want meaningless sex. Eddie is gay and still a virgin and hasn't told his parents he's gay--but they want to see him in his first big role. Throughout the film we see songs and numbers from the musical itself.OK--this technically doesn't deserve 10 stars. The acting isn't that good, some of the actors REALLY overdo the gay stereotypes and a lot of the back stories are woefully underdeveloped (especially the one with Eddie and his parents). However all the songs are good, everybody can sing and even the dancing is GREAT (the tap dancing angels were just incredible). Also the leads are attractive (especially Robinson who's all pumped up), the chorus boys are all good-looking and muscular and there's some REALLY hot guy on guy sex here (nothing hardcore though). Also gay porn star Brent Corrigan pops up (and is very good) as a hustler and Michael Schiffman is incredibly charming as Charles. Also there are happy endings all around. AND the movie is unapologetically gay and goes after the Catholic Church, the Bible and homophobes but in a kind manner. A very gay, very sexy and just great gay musical. I give this a 10!

So, I've noticed that some people try to put this movie-musical down and I really can't understand. I consider myself very knowledgeable of musical theatre (with my embarrassingly large collection of over 200 different cast albums) and this is certainly not bad! It's on par with something like Reefer Madness.The songs are campy. They were meant to be. They do pay homage, and parody existing theatre pieces, and they do it well. The singers are good, if over processed which bothered me. But if you wanted big production numbers, my question is, "why?" They're in a tiny off- Broadway theatre. Of course the songs are smaller numbers. If the "show" made it to Broadway for real, the songs would be re-orchestrated, and changed to make them huge. The acting is spot on. The characters that are supposed to be shallow are just that! And though some people would say that this paints a bad picture of gays, well... gays in the theatre are very often incredibly shallow. But there is depth of character in the important roles. And the actors are very honest in their approach. It's quite nice. Of course, they all play a bit over the top when they're 'on stage'. And let's be honest, they're acting in an off-Broadway show, so they would so be over the top.Overall, this was incredibly entertaining. I laughed, and even got emotional at the end when the Tammi Faye character sang one hell of a show stopping number. I am going to make all my friends watch this! And if I could get this on Broadway, I would!!!
