Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Irishchatter So we see two troubled kids stealing cookies from a store and a luxurious gay couple having a good time with their friends. The boys then were introduced by the gay couple and thats when I found the storyline hard to pick up because suddenly the mother comes in then everything goes wrong for the couple. It was all over the place and I felt very confused by the way this storyline was set out. Like Eric horribly cheated on Phil but Phil had that 'I don't care' attitude or trying to get the mother a job whereas she was really unfit to get down and work. It was crazy. Anyways the only positives about this movie was that Elaine Hendrix (from the parent trap) starred in this and that the boys were finally adopted in the end. I have to say all actors were good in this but the script should've been looked at clearly.
yaaah_69 Get Your Stuff. Two homosexual guys who want to adopt a baby are asked to take care of two pre-teens for their social worker for one night, buttttt!I found this movie to be very refreshing. The two lead guys were masculine , looked like regular guys and made an believable pair. They were always cuddling and had sex (almost) 2-3 times. Ha Ha. The foster kids did a great job as the two ( almost Mobster Kids ) who bring the story of adoption to a new height . You hate them at first , but grow to like them later. The mother who is an mainliner, and drunk , was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix , Kimberly Scott the probation officer, both did a smash-up job. There were parts for sheer laughter and parts for some tears . But all in all it was a great little flik , that has some serious social problems to work out. Cameron Watson (Phil) and Anthony Paul Meindl (Erik) Are the adopting couple and thru all the confusion have to come to terms with their love and what it entails. Phil is also an love councilor for the gay community , Erik is an lawyer . Hop aboard its' fun , will make you feel good. Sure there are some things that just don' seem right , but heh what movie is perfect...,I give this movie 7/10 ciao yaaah69
tyler-j-west This movie seemed like an experiment in movie-making. The randomization of clips and comments sometimes was interesting but usually was irritating and confusing to follow. Some scenes are like 2 seconds. And some of the lines are just horrible, like "I'm the alpha male, hes the beta." / "I'm gamma, this is delta." I don't know how the actors delivered the lines with a straight face.The acting was not the best either. The worst was probably when Eric takes the phone away from his mother. His "No, no, no"s and his "I'm hanging up the phone now" were really bad. The principal and the social worker did a really good job and I would have liked to see even more of them in this movie. The two dads were okay at the acting but I think they might have been cast because of their looks and bodies rather than because of their acting. The children actors were great. The story isn't all bad, it does take some very real turns such as the couple breaking up briefly. The mom overcomes her addictions remarkably easily, though, which is pretty unconvincing. However, overall it was pretty unrealistic. When the one kid says that Eric hates him and he hates Eric toward the end, you really don't see it coming because he never acted like he hated Eric before. Also these people are surrounded by gay-friendly people, it would be interesting to see this happen with much more opposition at play since it is a gay couple making the adoption. After all that's the biggest issue in this story.
soanim8ed What do you get when you mix a successful gay couple with two foster kids from the streets? Well, you could get Get Your Stuff, a cute film about the good times and bad times that might happen if you mix the two mismatched ingredients above. Farce? No, it never reaches that state, but it is frequently funny.The story is about Phil (Cameron Watson), a couples counselor and Eric (Anthony Meindl), a lawyer. The two want to adopt a baby (mostly it seems from the prodding of Eric's mom), and are just approved to be foster parents in the meantime. Through some coaxing and borderline blackmailing, they agree to take in T.J. and Brian for one night. That becomes one more night and one more and, well, you get the picture.The kids are actually decent actors and, at times, out-act the adults. T.J. (Grady Hutt) is the optimistic one and tries to get his brother to straighten up so they can have a home. Brian (Blayn Barbosa), on the other hand, is not as accepting and wants nothing to do with Phil and Eric until their case worker, Gloria, talks them into working the couple to make themselves more appealing. The film deals with all these problems with a light touch -- never wanting to truly offend anyone. So they are played up for laughs; however, the message still gets through. In fact, it takes its toll on Eric who wanted nothing more than a baby and not an entire family of problems and promptly leaves in the film's worst scene that includes Phil screaming and pulling a gun out on his clients and doing the same to Eric as he drives off.But that type of scene is, thankfully, not the norm. Most of the picture is feel-good and enjoyable. More so when Kimberly Scott is on the screen. She plays Gloria with sass, determination and heart. The movie is made better by her tough love portrayal -- especially the scenes with the kids. There is one at the beginning of the film where the kids arrive at the house while Phil and Eric are having an anniversary party. Brian goes for the wine and argues that kids in Europe drink it. Gloria responds with, "They can also speak three languages. When you can speak three languages, then we can talk."Get Your Stuff doesn't set the film world on fire, but it is a fun jaunt. It's something to pass the time in world that touches on reality, but doesn't actually ground itself there.
