Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
mdm-11 "I Think I Do" is a wonderful comedy drama about a group of college friends who are in search of love and stability. The film focuses on the complicated situation between two male roommates, who consealed their affection for each other even years after graduation. When two of the clique (boy/girl) get married, everyone reunites and gets to evaluate their own (mostly pitiful) love-life on the wedding day.From the parents of the bride (who have nothing to say to each other) to over-the-top relatives, everyone has their two cents to add, in order for "the young ones" to have a wonderful life. Offering laughs every minute, this film entertains throughout, climaxing with a story-book ending.The Sound Track, consisting of Partridge Family songs, is an added touch of class. Still considered "progressive", the film deals with the subject of homosexuality in the matter-of-fact kind of way that it should have been dealt with all along. There was no mention made at all of the fact that the bride and groom were an inter-racial couple; again, something that rightfully was treated without any big words of explanation. We've come a long way, but occasional "outrage" at films such as this one shows that we haven't arrived yet.
Ranjee F This is my favorite gay film. I wouldn't say its the best - Beautiful Thing or Boys In the Band - I believe have that honor, but its non stop entertainment from the first scene to the last. Alexis Arquette is brilliant as always and Tuc Watkins is a perfect supporting player for Arquette. The other actors hold their own as well. Guaranteed to please almost any audience.
notmicro Geeky gay-boy ends up pursued by hunks in this gay wish-fulfillment romantic indie comedy. Which handsome dreamboat will he pick? Decisions decisions...Initially set among a group of affluent proto-yuppie college students carousing in Washington DC; then shifts to their lives about 5 years later, as they reassemble for the wedding of one of the group.Hunky Christian Maelen is more than competent in his co-starring role, and I'm suprised that he hasn't done more work in features. He has that ol' straight-guy appeal which many gay men will find irresistable.A similar film is the British "Bedrooms and Hallways" (1998).
keala This is just so charming. It's funny and sprightly and very feel-good. After decades of providing anonymous musical vocals for Hollywood actors, Marni Nixon gets an engaging supporting role here as Aunt Alice. Somehow, that's just so right for this movie. I also especially liked Lauren Velez as Carol and Tuc Watkins as Sterling, but all the actors did a fine job (some of them aren't bad looking either).What really strikes a chord with me, though, is its wish-fulfillment. This film is the ultimate revenge fantasy of anyone who's ever seen - or been - a gay man cruelly disdained by some gorgeous heterosexual object of desire. It revels in poor repentant Brendan's predicament...but it does it in the sweetest, most adoring way possible.I saw this at our local art academy, where it was apparently brought back by popular demand. The audience was laughing and hooting throughout more than for any other movie I've seen. I was as gleeful as the rest of them.
