Alicia I love this movie so much

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Payno 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.

Arlis Fuson A man rushes his dog to a hospital instead of a vet after he accidentally stabs it. A nice doctor there helps him out and fixes the dog up. Sometime later they run across each other again and fall for each other. The adventure then begins of them falling in love, dealing with homophobia from a crazy neighbor as well as Jersey bottle throwers. They have to deal with each others crazy best friends, weird parents and soon they must deal with the fact they had met years before under very embarrassing conditions.The first time I watched this movie it made me laugh, but didn't do much for me, but here on my second viewing I laughed harder and seemed to accept it greatly. It has some very funny parts and is downright charming. I loved the clichés and the characters here. From the embarrassing "hershey squirts" to the OCD shower scene where the man washes the young boy before having sex with. Gay line dancing with a drag queen singing 'sh*t happens' and the very unlucky family of the guy that seem to have disaster follow them everywhere they go. It was funny and well worth a watch, gay or straight.Tripple the talent here for Craig Chester who wrote a beautiful story, directed it nicely and stars here in perhaps his best role. Other major players were Parker Posey and Julie Haggarty. Chris Kattan had a big part here, and he was one of my few faults as he is a tad annoying.Funny enough and charming enough for 4/10 stars. I liked it and could gladly watch it again.

Boyd Petrie It seems exceptionally difficult to make a gay romance (or any gay-themed film, it seems) without delving into cheap stereotypes. There have been a few diamonds in the rough, but Adam & Steve is a painfully unfunny and extremely dull film that is neither romantic nor comedic. Aside from the throwaway sight gags, the poor directing, the mediocre acting, the spectacularly awful writing, Adam & Steve's real problem is its tonal shifts. The mish-mash of genres here keeps adding barrier after barrier to push the audience out of the picture. The film begins with an odd introduction of the main characters, complete with Parker Posey in a fat suit. Next up, we get two visual sight gags of poop and vomit in one scene (one of which is so poorly done, I laughed in spite of how unfunny it was).There are scenes of drama, there are scenes of comedy, there are scenes of musical numbers and a choreographed dance sequence. It only takes about 15 minutes to realize how bad this picture really is. Parker Posey and Chris Kattan, along with a handful of supporting character actors, upstage the two main leads who are about as charismatic as two rocks. There are scenes where Posey and Kattan both seem to be rolling their eyes, maybe wondering how they got roped into this production.Adam & Steve has no direction and flounders in search of one. It jumps all over the place, going from a completely screwball gross-out comedy (attempting a pale imitation of the Farrelly Brothers) to a tender love story (admittedly neither tender nor particularly loving... not even really a story for that matter). It almost seems as if the screenplay were written in segments and then spliced together. There are a handful of humorous moments, most of which come courtesy of Posey and Kattan, that prevent the movie from becoming a complete waste of time. And the final climactic moments are nicely handled, a welcome break from the maddening confusion that has preceded it all. The only reason to see this one is if you are a fan of either Posey or Kattan. And, really, if you are, both have done far superior work.

Gordon-11 This film is a romantic comedy between two men in New York City. They by chance meet each other, get along very well, until things start to fall apart.It is great that throughout the film, the emphasis is on love, instead of sex. It is so easy to fall into the temptation to make scenes depicting gay sex in order to entice gay viewers to watch the film. However, in this film, there are no sex scenes at all. The thing that keeps the viewers watching is the real love that keeps Adam and Steve together. Coupled with the excellent character development, the love between Adam and Steve becomes convincing and touching.The dance sequences of this film are very well rehearsed and delightful to watch. The plot is straightforward and predictable, but that's the whole idea for romantic comedies.I hope gay romantic comedies get made more often!

ekeby So you're gay and you're thinking of seeing this movie, and, knowing that it's a gay movie, your expectations are already lowered. Maybe rightly, judging from most of what's out there.Interestingly, this gay movie has both the best and the worst of the genre. What's bad? Oh, some of the acting, some direction, some dialog, some of everything, really. What's good? Some of the acting, some direction, some dialog--again, some of everything. Which is to say, when it gets it right, it gets it Really Right. Laugh out loud right. When it gets it wrong, well, you can't fix it so you gotta stand it.So yes, if you're debating, see it. Especially if you're gay and especially if you like to laugh. Just seeing Craig Chester in his goth get up made me laugh. That's something that anybody could laugh at, but some of the humor is gay-specific and might sail over the heads of straight people. Mostly, though, it skewers contemporary life in a way that both gay and straight will understand and appreciate.What makes this worthwhile is the dialog, some of which is razor sharp and very, very funny. Any big budget Hollywood comedy could be improved one thousand percent by stealing just a few of these wickedly funny lines that are tossed off so casually. Parker Posey has the lion's share of them and her delivery is fast and furious; she hits the bulls-eye every time. The players are all competent and likable. Chris Kattan is good as an envious, maybe even jealous, straight roommate. Julie Hagerty plays Chester's mom; she's another one that just makes me smile when I see her slightly ditsy persona on screen. Bottom line: if you're looking for art, keep looking. Want a few yuks? Adam and Steve will deliver.
