CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

mikothy69 I worked on "It's in the Water" back in '96, '97. It was one of the funnest projects I've worked on. I can tell you that Kelli Herd is a brilliant, bold story-teller with a great sense of timing. The casting was great. Regarding the actors, I was impressed at the effortless risk taking that took place not only in the auditions, but more over, on the big screen. Barbara Lassiter (mom) is too much, I remember when they were shooting the scene where she is lecturing her daughter Alex about her gay kiss,noting "Couldn't you have done something like this on the weekend?" The scene when shot, was very moving, dramatic, powerful. Once edited, I was amazed that they turned that scene into its own mini-melodrama with a comic twist. The whole cast and crew was very friendly. One of the more outstanding moments in the making of the movie was when we were filming in the hospital. In the middle of a scene, one of the 1K lights set off the building alarm and sprinkler system, made for a short delay, but all was well. Kelli provided some of the best craft service food I've ever had much! All behjind the scenes stuff aside, The plot is outrageous. Who'd think It's in the Water? Can't say I don't relate though. For whatever reason, this is truly one of my favorite movies, very smart.

birchn This isn't the best gay and lesbian comedy around, but it certainly isn't the stinker that some of the other IMDb user comments claim it to be.It's camp and extravagantly acted -- okay, maybe a bit overacted -- in the way, say, "But I'm A Cheerleader" is. But it more than makes up for that in its upbeat and affirming ending and particularly through its gentle treatment of the two main characters. It's very unusual that these two are a gay and a lesbian. Most LGBT movies stick to one group; "It's In The Water" shows a lesbian discovering what she is from out of a loveless marriage and a "cured" gay guy finding love with an unashamed gay decorator. If only more LGBT movies were as inclusive...Sure, this isn't one of those LGBT movies that could be claimed to be in the same league as mainstream Hollywood movies. But frankly, even so, I'm happy to give this one a "7". And hell, I'd watch this anytime rather than some of the "gay" tripe that the "mainstream" serve us up, such as "In & Out" or "Three To Tango".Don't expect a masterpiece, and don't expect the raving farce that the blurb promises. But do sit back and enjoy a good-hearted, sweet, story.

Greg Eatroff This was rather a disappointment for me. The title and the promotional copy pushed the movie as a farce, but the film shied away from really exploring the grotesquery and silliness of the situation. The paranoia such a situation should unleash was seriously underplayed. The film should have been about the fluidity of gender identity as people question each other's sexual orientation based on superficial behaviors and the rumor-mill demand that something must be happening, and even in some cases question their own orientation because of the mass hysteria. Instead we saw a rather conventional coming-out story -- not the worst of its kind, but nothing memorable either. I felt like the victim of a bait and switch. This was not the movie I was promised.4 stars out of 10

isihali This film reeks of after-school special. While I appreciate the effort made to provide small-town quirky humor on an issue that is being dealt with in a humorless manner in many small towns, the acting rivals high school plays (and the sets aren't much better, while we're there). Script is banal; the only reasons worth seeing this film are to hear the gospel choir at the end (the scene is annoying but the singing itself is good) and the relationship between Mark and Tomas. Their scenes are done at a very good pace, and the actors playing the two are not as uncomfortable in front of a camera as the others seem to be.
