Fresh and Exciting

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Okay, I'm watching the "Mexican" gangster king on Weeds, and I'm thinking, "something strangely familiar".. Yep, yep... 2+2 does = 4."Little" Anthony's fuchsia sport shoes have carried him to many films and television shows, but this comedic film (originally a short) remains a favorite. Along with several other vanity and indie short films during the 1990's and early 00's, this became full-feature film. Some films, like this one, seemed to simply expand a compact plot into longer running time, but others do better in using the short as basis for feature film to expand the character roles.

I saw this film on 3/15/01 and enjoyed it much more than I expected to. When I heard it was about a guy whose fantasy is to have a threesome with his fiance and another woman, it just sounded very typical. However, there's a twist to this movie. The fiance agrees to do it if the guy (Anthony) will hook up with another man (the gay neighbour kid who has a crush on him, Victor). So the rest of the movie is about whether or not each of them is going to do it and there are some very funny and touching moments. Janger plays a convincing straight guy. And Jennifer Esposito (Michelle) and Guillermo Diaz (Victor) are also quite good.The "message" of the movie is that when two people are in love, that that should be enough for both of them. Some fantasies are meant to remain just that, fantasies. It is also about acceptance and compassion and coming to terms with one's identity.There is a very predictable twist at the end of the film, but I don't want to be a "spoiler" so I won't say what it is. But if you don't see it coming after the first 30 minutes, you probably have a difficult time finding your way home everyday. :) Still, even though it is a very predictable and obvious twist, it is a pleasant one!

I just saw this film last night (10/21/00) and liked it a lot. It ain't Shakespeare, but it is a very light, sexy, independent film with likable actors/characters. I recommend it.The plot involves an engaged couple who each trade fantasies. He has always wanted to sleep with his fiancee together with another woman. His fiancee agrees, but only if he agrees to sleep with her together with another guy. Quid Pro Quo. She is really trying to teach him a bit of a lesson, but by the end of the film, they each learn a lesson about themselves and about their relationship.I enjoyed this movie a lot primarily b/c I liked, "I Think I Do" very much. They seemed so similar. Today I checked the Internet Movie Database and it turns out that, not coincidentally, the star/co-writer/director of this film is Lane Janger. Mr. Janger also co-produced "I Think I Do" (and gets a close-up in that film playing the bit part of a wedding bartender).He does consistently good work.

The film shown at GLBT Film Festival generated a great deal of laughter and a few tears. It showed very clearly the struggle of dealing with homophobia from others and yourself. I loved these characters and the setup. The cast super sexy especially Anthony(Lane) and Michelle, would have been nice to see that hookup. Funniest gay bar scene ever!!! The only disappointment was the somewhat predictableness as the movie can to its close.
