Movie Reviews of Adam & Steve (2005)
Movie Review: Funny, sweet, ridiculous comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, if you're looking for drama (instead of slapstick) or you're looking for realism, look elsewhere. This is pure silliness and fun. Who cares if it isn't the most sober and accurate portrayal of gay relationships (or straight ones.) This is fun!
I laughed so hard, actually, that I woke up one of my kids in the next room. More than once. It has a few slower moments, but overall it's very fun and very sweet and gives you a bit of romantic escapism that I see too infrequently.
The actors and actresses here are all good for this film and the material, and don't take themselves too seriously, just like the film. The highlight is the dance-off toward the end. I watched it a few times. I will watch it more.
Some people rightfully feel there should have been some additional editing done and maybe a few gags and a few silly moments removed. Generally, I agree, but the whole package is good and entertaining and great fun. The two-stepping alone makes this worth the price for me. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Cute, light & fluffy-perfect summertime fare
Summary: 4 Stars
As the other reviews point out, this film is "uneven," BUT, well worth the watching. I'm at odds with the reviewer who found the film "...hysterical and funny...", but not "...deep, touching, sensitive and moving." I found it to be VERY touching, sensitive and moving. Both lead characters played their roles so convincingly that I would not have been surprised to learn that they were "boyfriends" in real life. Yes, "Get Real" and "Beautiful Thing" are "classics," but there's a place for these gay romantic comedies, as well. When you're of a certain age, gay coming-of-age flicks can get a tad "old." It's nice to have some fairly decent stories with gay characters older than 18.Movie Review: One of the few good ones...
Summary: 4 Stars
For storyline, direction, acting, music, you name it, this is one movie that's worth one's time and money - unlike many gay flicks today. Craig Chester is just simply 'good' at what he has done with this movie. More than anything else, however, I found the lack of anything gratuitous (sex, violence, drama, and just plain silliness) utterly refreshing. I've watched this movie several times already and it's one I will keep - unlike so many I've watched (barely) once and thrown in the trash...
Movie Review: Adam & Steve
Summary: 4 Stars
Best word that comes to mind is "mindless". If your looking for a picture that is pure entertainment, absolutely no substance, above average exaggerated acting, then this is for you.
I absolutely laughed all the way through. Lifted my spirits.
Totally recommend you get this picture out and watch with a group of friends.
In time this picture will build to 'cult status'.
Movie Review: Love Recovery
Summary: 4 Stars
A straight guy shouts out to our heroes "God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve". Throughout the show we are hoping that they will show him how wrong he is. Adam and Steve met years before, went home together and had a mishap before doing the naughty. Years later they re-meet, fall in love and take a while before they realize where they knew each other from. Adam's luck-challenged family are hillarious!
