Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

piajax Why have I never heard of this film? This is stupid! I'm sort of a gay film buff right now, since I'm researching a novel - and I only recently came across this gem. I'm laughing out loud at almost every scene - this film is fantastic! In your face and subtle at the same time, attention to detail and a clean write.Why was this not the next Birdcage? This is so hilarious! People are missing out! Fire some executive, goddamn it!Sharp and sensitive writing, and playful directing, inspired acting and very, very good music. Clever, silly, sensual, serious, gross - all my fave ingredients!What went wrong? Somebody should be kicking themselves in the balls for not pushing this film harder.Thank you for creating this beautiful comedy and funny drama! My kind of thing. I offer my creative embrace, but it feels it's too little.

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.

buiger As far as Hollywood movies go, this was one brave motion picture. You don't see gay relationships portrayed with such nonchalance in a Hollywood film very easily. The Director and the Producers of Adam & Steve can say that much for themselves.Having said that, I totally agree with Ebert on this one: this movie is a mix of scenes that are well done and scenes that would have been better left out. The film definitely has potential, but unfortunately much of it has been left unexploited by the filmmakers. It starts off very well, continues with mixed results, only to completely implode in the last 15 minutes or so. What a pity...

royalhassel-1 I hate to say it, but in this case, the old adage is true: No actor should write and direct himself and throw stones in a glasshouse with the last laugh...eh...whatever.What I'm trying to say is, that as funny as I can sense Craig being naturally at times, as little funny it is when he tries so hard to get his 'cute' lines across.Either Adam or Steve was miscast. Their attraction to each other didn't work, and that is essentially what the entire movie hinges upon. Craig Chester should have cast Steve as a lesser physically attractive man, someone with a big personality, to match Adam more evenly. OR cast Adam with a more attractive actor to match Steve. Craig/Adam's charms didn't compensate enough for the difference...OUCH, I know, but hey, I'm critical of myself too(its just this review is not, alas, about me).I love the idea of acting, producing, writing, directing oneself, but it rarely works (read: Ed Burns). So big kudos to Craig Chester for getting his film made, just a shame it was unwatchable.
