BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

ej444 I was moved to comment on this unusually poignant story. The main characters are so well and naturally drawn and so well played, I felt as if I knew them personally by the end of the movie. From the very beginning, the dialogue is clever, but there is more than cleverness - there is real talent in the writing and an authenticity I found haunting. There was also real plausibility within the comedy's plot; even the more unlikely twists and turns are believable. It's the writing of Dan Bucantinsky (not just his on-screen character) that made me want to see more of his work. This is a really good, heart-warming effort, with wonderful acting from each of the four main characters.

michael_hill Okay what can I say I relate to this movie. Sweet neurotic nice guy meets damaged bad boy. And guy gets guy at the end. My heart swoons. I am a big goofy romantic what can I say. Finally a movie where the gay characters are not the best friend or stylish confidant to the lovelorn female character.The cast it perfect. Good performances by everyone in the cast.Only regret is that is would have been nice for the stripper to have been interested in Eli rather than Tom. I would really have liked Tom to have been jealous and seen that Eli is just as hot in his own neurotic way.

gtsrec All I want to say about this movie is that thank god a movie with a happy ending. It's refreshing a movie like that, because almost all the gay movies are or stereotyped or tragic.It's a funny comedy about two men quite so different sometimes, but with some nice connection that grows with time - in fact one is the opposite of the other but at the same time not just in this order -really nice actors, nice quotes, fun to watch, to cry. An ordinary story that could be lived by me or you and with not so perfect people, people like us.I hope to see more like this because positive vibrations are never too much.So watch it! and buy it, it deserves to be kept forever.cheers

giffey-1 What a refreshing movie this is! What I mean by that is here is a movie about gay men that contains people I want to meet, that I would want to be friends with. Eli and Tom are two men that are thrown together due to the fact that their respective (straight) best friends would like to build on their "meet cute". And how cute are these best friends? They are also portrayed as refreshingly normal, unlike other gay themed movies I have seen that shoehorn straight people into the movie in order to try to get mass appeal but only end up embarrassing those straight people who would want to see the movie. But I digress, The movie starts with the audience meeting two men. Eli, who is off to the AIDS test clinic, and Tom, who is off to an AA meeting. As each are at there respective appointments, the past is presented to show their relationship. The men don't get a meet cute, but their respective best friends do, in a furniture store where they bond over a "buttercup" love seat. The two then decide to use their respective gay best friends, supposedly to get them together, but actually to further their own budding romance. What an awkward first date the men have! Eli hopes his date doesn't smoke, so of course when we see them together that's what Tom does best. That and drink Absolute martinis. From there it is one awkward meeting for them after the other, both fighting an attraction they both will admit only to themselves. The families of each man are dysfunctional. I actually was far more embarrassed by Eli's, a couple of doctors who subject their small children to uncomfortable games about their feelings and only use dolls to get the kids comfortable with using correct medical terms for sexual organs. Christina Ricci gives a wonderful performance as Eli's seeming normal sister. Our meeting of Tom's parents is uncomfortable for completely different reasons, though probably much more common to many of us. The parents who suffocate themselves over what their dysfunctional lives have foisted on their children. At the wedding of the straight friends, the men finally realize what they mean to each other. I have probably left out a lot, but I think I am a little too emotionally attracted to this movie to be objective. By the time the men are dancing together and the closing song, "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" by the Jayhawks started playing, I was actually cheering through my tears. No, this may not be a great movie, but it is one I will turn to again and again, to meet and spend time with comfortable old friends.
