Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Micitype Pretty Good

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

max-850 I had a ball watching this. The bad see meets birdcage. Two great gay guys want a baby and instead get the foster kids from hell. And then the fun begins. Kimberly Scott and Elaine Hendrix really deliver on the performances. It was fun to see the Bundy kid from Married with Children in the mix too but I wish he had more to do. Same for Jim J. Bullock, so funny. Obviously a low budgeter, it looks good anyway. My favorite is the grandma. A grandma at last. Patience Cleveland. Hilarious. Where did they get that house? Love it. Some day the story of gays adopting kids will seem curious. In the meantime, there are a lot of kids in the foster care system who would be happy to have a home like this.

tyler-j-west This movie seemed like an experiment in movie-making. The randomization of clips and comments sometimes was interesting but usually was irritating and confusing to follow. Some scenes are like 2 seconds. And some of the lines are just horrible, like "I'm the alpha male, hes the beta." / "I'm gamma, this is delta." I don't know how the actors delivered the lines with a straight face.The acting was not the best either. The worst was probably when Eric takes the phone away from his mother. His "No, no, no"s and his "I'm hanging up the phone now" were really bad. The principal and the social worker did a really good job and I would have liked to see even more of them in this movie. The two dads were okay at the acting but I think they might have been cast because of their looks and bodies rather than because of their acting. The children actors were great. The story isn't all bad, it does take some very real turns such as the couple breaking up briefly. The mom overcomes her addictions remarkably easily, though, which is pretty unconvincing. However, overall it was pretty unrealistic. When the one kid says that Eric hates him and he hates Eric toward the end, you really don't see it coming because he never acted like he hated Eric before. Also these people are surrounded by gay-friendly people, it would be interesting to see this happen with much more opposition at play since it is a gay couple making the adoption. After all that's the biggest issue in this story.

meyer-8 This movie starts out fine and has a very enticing premise: two gay guys who want to be foster parents (aren't they all waiting for an infant to adopt?) get 2 unruly pre-teen boys, but end up loving them. The trouble is that the story bogs down in the middle and goes through some strange wormholes. There are incidents, scenes and action that have no connection. It was impossible to follow a plot at all. What a shame! The scriptwriter must have had a stroke at that point and just wrote gibberish afterwards. It ruined what was otherwise a very cute movie. PS The reference to AA is quite fascinating, and could be seen as being very socially enlightening.

papi-9 The true test of a film is whether or not it still affects you a couple of days after you see it. "Get Your Stuff" is still affecting me. The film was done, obviously, with very little money and the end result was that I felt for and related to these characters more than those I saw in The Perfect Storm. What does that tell you about spending a great deal or very little to make a film? The film never lagged. The acting was tight, well executed and honest in almost every instance. The story was original and thought provoking. The direction was smart because humor was found in almost scene, yet touching moments were never overlooked or brushed over. The only negative about the film is that it could be trimmed just a bit to avoid scenes that are only saying again what we have seen before. But--I cried, I laughed, I thought, and I felt. What else could you ask for when you go to the movies?
