Movie Reviews of Adam & Steve (2005)
Movie Review: Adam and Steve
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie definitely had some amusing scenes, but overall it did not live up to my expectations. I think this is a case where I had heard too much hype about the movie before viewing it.Movie Review: WHY CAN"T AMERICA BE "BRITISH" IN APPROACH?
Summary: 1 Stars
Curious. How can the previous reviewer write a critique of the film and point out the negativity of it and still give four stars. The film was shown in May, 2005 at The Seattle Film Festival. The audience seemed to enjoy the picture immensely; 650 people were turned away from The Eqyptian Theatre on that hot Saturday afternoon. In "rerunning" the film one tends to believe the two leads were over-confident; the plot was hum-drum, unbelievable and somewhat trite. Discussions with others bears this same trend. A plot for another film of this genre might concern a film producer in his early 30's becoming overly impressed with his success to the point of no longer corresponding with his dad. Remember, boys and girls, "no good deed goes unpunished." Not "sour grapes," as in vino veritas, but a fact!
The two leads in"ADAM AND STEVE" are too confident. The plot by the writer/director is trite, unlikely and boring. Cameos by some stars, including one time Academy Award nominee Sally Kirkland, do add a bit of glamour and camp to the obviously threadbare budget. This movie compared to Sundance Film Festival winner of 1999, the British import, "GET REAL," starring Ben Silverstone and Brad Gorton is apples and oranges. "GET REAL" has class, polish, skillful acting and handsome looking leads. Talent? YES! Why can't American filmmakers look to their English cousins for the secret of making such films. Inspiration? Try watching either "GET REAL" or "BEAUTIFUL THING." Save your money for "ADAM AND STEVE" and purchase these two cogent and enjoyable British lifestyles from two distinct class structures of Great Britain's society. Attn: Mr Craig Chester---
Movie Review: Didn't live up to my expectations and I am not sure why everyone else seems to like it.
Summary: 1 Stars
My friend and I rented this movie because the synopsis on tla releasing looked entertaining. However, she and my roommate and I were severely disappointed by the end. Despite that I really WANTED to like this movie, seeing as I like Chris Kattan and love Parker Posey, I regretted my chioce afterwards. I think Craig Chester made a valiant effort, but it didn't work out as well as I think it could have. For example, it's not remotely funny that Parker Posey's character continues to tell fat jokes about herself when she is no longer fat. There are parts of the plot where it didn't seem to be going anywhere. The situation with Adam's family was unbelieveable and the conversation in the apt. between Posey's and Kattan's character made no sense to me. It felt as if the dialogue was trying too hard to be funny and none of it was. The only reason we laughed was because of how painful it was to watch the movie, especially after the gross cocaine scene. I really would not recommend this movie if you're looking for a funny gay romantic comedy.Movie Review: Adam & Steve DVD

The DVD doesn't work on our DVD player or any DVD players we tried it on. Very disappointed. This was a Christmas gift the first copy we received there wasn't a DVD in it, it was empty. Had to return it and reorder from a different vendor. Now this vendor sends one that doesn't work on any dvd player we've tried. I'm not returning it. It's just not worth it.Movie Review: Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted this movie to be good, but boy was I disappointed. I've seen home movies with more acting, plot and feelings. Parker Posey should be embarrassed that she was in it. Save your money. The one guy is kind of hot so if you're looking for a butt shot, rent it and fast forward.
