There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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.

This is a pretty funny flick... actually, it's a really funny flick.... actually it's an extremely funny flick that isn't easily forgotten. Comedic gay romance films usually fall flat and run too sentimental to be funny and end up making everyone (gay, straight & misc.) uncomfortable. Well, okay, it makes *me* uncomfortable, but I laughed quite comfortably through out this film... mind you, I was lying in bed while I watched it so that accounts for some of the comfort.... but I digress. Craig Chester (who also wrote and directed) and Malcolm Bets star as Adam & Steve who start the film with the greatest, worst first-date in cinematic history - it has to be seen to be believed. It will make your worst date seem charming and the stuff of bad "date movies." Adam & Steve's first encounter is... well, honestly, I can't even describe it, it's just that bizarre... and just that hilarious. This sets the stage for one heck of a funny movie - and it delivers on the promise. It does veer a bit into the sentimental here and there, but wisely never wanders too far from it's raucous core. Interestingly - though it is SO often the case - it's not the leads in this comedy that deliver all the laughs, it's the supporting cast that make you laugh till you want to barf. In this case, the supporting cast is Parker Posey and Chris Kattan as Adam and Steve's best friends respectively. The romance between Posey and Kattan - a couple of extroverted kooks who manage to be both endearing and uproarious - is often funnier than the primary plot line. So "Adam & Steve" veers into the sentimental sometimes - stop being such a darn cynic and watch the darn movie already. I laughed until it became painful and turned back into pleasure again. What more can I tell you? I laughed harder at this than I did at "The Simpsons Movie" which had just as much gay content as "Adam & Steve" now that I think about it. What are you doing still reading this review?? Run, drive, paddle or whatever and get this DVD - now!!

This film is a romantic comedy between two men in New York City. They by chance meet each other, get along very well, until things start to fall apart.It is great that throughout the film, the emphasis is on love, instead of sex. It is so easy to fall into the temptation to make scenes depicting gay sex in order to entice gay viewers to watch the film. However, in this film, there are no sex scenes at all. The thing that keeps the viewers watching is the real love that keeps Adam and Steve together. Coupled with the excellent character development, the love between Adam and Steve becomes convincing and touching.The dance sequences of this film are very well rehearsed and delightful to watch. The plot is straightforward and predictable, but that's the whole idea for romantic comedies.I hope gay romantic comedies get made more often!

ADAM AND STEVE is a movie you want to succeed: the idea of an honest gay relationship developing between two guys with a weird history and subsequent difficulties forming meaningful intimacy, the presence of four fine actors, and a film that seems to take itself not too seriously. The problem is that writer/director/star Craig Chester just seems to have put too much into his bag for one film and in doing so he diluted the strength it could have had.Adam (Craig Chester) first met Steve (Malcolm Gets) in a dance bar in 1987 where Adam (accompanied by his grossly obese friend Rhonda - Parker Posey in a fat suit) is dazzled by Steve's good looks and on a bet from Rhonda ends up on the date from hell: after snorting coke cut with baby laxative the two men become amorous with some rather embarrassing consequences. 17 years later Adam is a bird watcher guide while his friend Rhonda, now without a single pound of fat, is a sadly unsuccessful stand up comic. Adam inadvertently injures his beloved dog and in trying to get help at a human hospital encounters psychiatrist Steve and the two begin a courtship.Neither man is able to cope with the idea of monogamous intimacy yet they develop a solid relationship, despite visits with dysfunctional families (Adam's Jewish family are ridiculously accident prone while Steve's Texas redneck parents are coldly homophobic). Steve has a straight roommate Michael (Chris Kattan) who plays into Steve's life the way Rhonda plays into Adam's life. Eventually memory recovers the past, it is dealt with and the ending is very predictable - as well as bit sappy.Each of the main characters does a fine job with their respective roles. It is the sidebar diversions that mess up the storyline rather than enhancing it. Yes, much of the nonsense can be forgiven because the film's heart is in the right place, but why this talented group could not have inserted a little restraint here and there is a frustrating question with which we are left. It is an entertaining film that errs on over the top asides to the point of distraction.
