    Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
    Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
    Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
    Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
    mhantholz Maupin's stories always repelled me because their mushy-squishy soft center. But it took these TV movies to crystallize what was really at the core of the skin-crawling creeped-out feeling I got watching.It's THIS: This Maupin doesn't know women. I'll bet long money that he never had a girlfriend or any kind of intimate relationship with a real, live female.These "women" are fantasy figures---wish-fulfillment confections created by someone who actually wrote stories about two gay guys, and then turned one of them into a girl as a way to reach a wider market, and wider appeal = $$$. Nothing actually wrong with that, but it must be done RIGHT; like Cole Porter, say, or Noel Coward.Adding to the creepiness is the arrested-development tone these stories have: there's a distinct undergraduate romanticism here---coming from a middle-aged man, that's real SPOOKY.TWO Stars for its insight into the pathology of a bad writer.
    Edouard Baissier Mesert Armistad Maupin's Tales of the City and More Tales of the City are landmarks in Gay liturature. They are not for Homophobes, they are not for bigots, they are for the friends of the GLBT Community. If you don't like Gay people, don't watch these movies. Don't watch Queer as Folk, and don't watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.I don't watch Mormon stories. I don't watch Southern Baptist stories. I will not tell anyone to watch something that offends them. Watch what you feel comfortable with. This is big wide wonderful world full of lots of different people. We're fabulous! We're here we're Queer
    mikehamilton This one was good in that it lived up to the story that Armistad wrote. I think that this change in cast was not a good one. I preferred the first cast in Tales of the City. I'm so glad that Laura Linney and Olympia Dukakis came back for More. They really helped to keep this glued together. Although I felt that Tales of the City was much better, the underlying story by Armistad Maupin is fantastic and definitely deserves to be made into a movie (or mini-series) for the masses to see. I can't get enough Maupin. Get the books! You'll be glad you did......
    LoneWolf-13 Far better casting than the original TV series. Looks like the cable aspect of the production (as opposed to American public TV) opened up the writing and performances. Paul Hopkins is a far superior choice to play Michael! That Marcus Whoever was way too nineties for the 70s look and sensibility of Maupin's gay San Francisco.
