Chris Kattan, Craig Chester, Malcolm Gets

After getting together for a calamitous one-night stand in the 1980s, single homosexuals Adam (Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets) don't see each other again until they cross paths 17 years later....( read more  read more... ) In an unbelievable twist, it takes a year of dating for Adam and Steve to realize they'd already met, which complicates their romance even further. Parker Posey, Chris Kattan and Sally Kirkland provide first-rate support in this snappy comedy.

    Kind of undecided about whether I really liked it or not. It wasn't horrible, yet not fabulous.

    While I'm seldom impressed and/or ammused by "gay cinema". We were able to DVR this, so there wasn't even the risk of wasting a valuable "Netflix Queue Position" on a film we felt uncertain about.

    Plus...I will watch ANYTHING that lists Parker Posey in the cast. She is alway...( read more)s good for a laugh. And seldom disappoints.

    While this film is not ground breaking by any means, it was (for the most part) ammusing. With the funniest bits usually involving Ms. Posey. And for the most part, did a fairly good job at presenting some of the complexities of dating/relationships in this day and age (regardless of sexual preferences).

    It's almost wore watching this JUST for the first 20 minutes of this film, which are fracking HILARIOUS!!!

    Love this film -it's hilarious, unreal and provides two hours of pure pleasure.

    I kinda hated this movie when I first watched it on dvd but I now find it funny enough to be worth watching. It's silly and badly edited. Crag Chester and Malcolm Gets are the most unattractive gay couple I've seen in a movie in a while. There isn't very much chemistry and for ch...( read more)aracters in their mid-30s, they look tired and closer to 50. The montage towards the beginning and the square dancing are probably the worst scenes.

    That said, this movie has some really great things on the side to enjoy. When they meet eachother's familys is pretty enjoyable. Parker Posey is amusing as an ex-fat comedian. I actually enjoyed this movie aside from the blah Adam and Steve relationship.

    Cute but forgettable romantic comedy

    Silly crazy fun. This movies got it all and then stuff you would never expect. Like a crazy two stepping howdown dance off. And people singing songs from Sound of Music. Theres great jokes in here and lots of other stuff that made me say things like "Oh dear God!" Good fun. Predi...( read more)ctable, but good fun.

    What did this movie teach me? The Cocaine is bad, but its even worse when made with baby laxatives.

    A great comedy.
    The musical number is inspired. A film that sends a great message about tolerance and different kinds of love.

    I feel the need to defend this movie. The first time I saw it I hated it, but something kept bringing me back to it and I began to appreciate that the sheer ridiculousness and at times corniness was all very much on purpose and wonderfully hilarious. I never get sick of this movie.

    I was amused by this. I got a few good laughs. I was some how expecting to hate it. I only checked it out from the library because Noah Segan, who plays Don Bolles in the Germs movie, is in it. Although there were a couple ridiculous scenes in it (such as the wedding and the cowb...( read more)oy dance), this was still better than most popular "gay" movies. Or maybe the opening just got me, with the meeting of Goth Adam and New Wave Steve- reminding me that the 80s were a horrible era.

    very funny gay movie, i fell down and laughed to tears, highly recommended!

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There is an underlying story here, and some comic ideas, that in the hands of a better director (or more ruthless editor) could have become an entertaining romantic comedy. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

I could have done without the over-the-top cowboy line-dancing finale at which all the boy-loses-boy complications were resolved, but it's hard to begrudge such a charming cast their happy ending. full review
