Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

nyghtweaver I watched this movie with a little reserve. Generally, standard Hollywood films (like the mentioned In & Out, which is a great movie don't get me wrong) about gay couples are very cliché. I tend to prefer the more realistic indies. But this one had grit, and heart, and even tenderness. It expertly delves into the craziness of relationships, gay and straight, and how we can screw ourselves right out of love if we aren't careful. I tend to rate movies with school grades. Anything below a B- isn't in my collection. This movie deserves a solid A. I'd give it 8.5 if the numeric scale for ranking on this site had halves, because sometimes you just need a half. I recommend this movie to gay and straight folk alike, to anyone who has ever sought and fought (inside and out) for love. We've all had relationships that made us question our own role in the demise. The what ifs that never were. Not everyone gets a happy ending, no matter how much we want it. And there are also those relationships that we have and cherish, that almost never were. And on that note, watch this film. I think you're gonna like it.

Fred While I'm not saying this movie is realistic (I don't think most movies are) I will say I found it emotionally honest. This movie is rare in another sense. It involves people who know how to use wit. Very few movies show people who are consciously funny and even fewer pull it off. ALL OVER THE GUY surprised me. I was expecting a feel-good film with some slapstick, but what I got was a comedy with some thought. It is closer to a feel-good film than high drama, but it's not a lie, which most feel-good films are. The acting would lift any script, but the script is really good anyway. The DVD I saw had a commentary track with the director, the writer/star and the editor and, as with the movie itself, the commentary track gave me a chance to listen to people who know how to make a point.

filmmekker There should be a law passed that says the United States can't make gay films. Leave that task to Great Britain and the rest of Europe. While this film wasn't the worst film ever made-I didn't turn it off-it's really lackluster. I'm surprised at the number of glowing reviews here but it seems like most of reviewers liked it for political reasons, like they appreciate this kind of film was made and support that idea. The central problem for me was i didn't believe for a second the 2 gay leads would be together, specifically that Ruccolo would give Bucatinski the time of day. The only realistic scene in the film is the disastrous 1st date between the 2. The rest of the film where they fight, reconcile, argue, make up, fight and fall in love, only made sense when I discovered that Bucatinski wrote it. He would have you believe Ruccolo's choices were limited strictly to abusive losers or himself. I just didn't care.

jfs999 I truly enjoyed this movie. I didn't find it trite or overdone at all.Dan Bucatinsky is excellent as the fussy half of the duo. Richard Ruccolo is talented and gives a great performance. I've met couples like this! The fact that the simple act of just getting together is so difficult for them is the primary thread that runs throughout the movie. It's about compatibility - why and why not. An excellent exploration of that theme!The one thing the producers should have budgeted for was a continuity person. Dan Buchatinsky also wrote the film, and when one of his characters repeats a line that they never heard in the movie previously (because it was said to someone else, and this person wasn't there), it really sticks out. I'm not awfully picky about this sort of thing, but it was noticeable in a couple places and made me stop and say - hey, how could she have known that?This was the only minor flaw I found. Rent this one (I bought it, to support the people who produced it) and enjoy!
