Why have I never heard of this film? This is stupid! I'm sort of a gay film buff right now, since I'm researching a novel - and I only recently came across this gem. I'm laughing out loud at almost every scene - this film is fantastic! In your face and subtle at the same time, attention to detail and a clean write.Why was this not the next Birdcage? This is so hilarious! People are missing out! Fire some executive, goddamn it!Sharp and sensitive writing, and playful directing, inspired acting and very, very good music. Clever, silly, sensual, serious, gross - all my fave ingredients!What went wrong? Somebody should be kicking themselves in the balls for not pushing this film harder.Thank you for creating this beautiful comedy and funny drama! My kind of thing. I offer my creative embrace, but it feels it's too little.

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!!

I am gay and I saw this film 3 times in the theater and just bought the movie on DVD today at Best Buy.I have to say that Adam & Steve is one of the most hilarious films I have ever seen. I've read comments talking about how over-the-top and unbelievable the film is. Yes, that is true, but how many straight romantic comedies are not believable as well? This film left me feeling better than Brokeback Mountain. Yes, Brokeback Mountain had a bigger budget by many millions of dollars, but the plot left me feeling disappointed and depressed at the end. There need to be more films where gay men don't die or contract HIV/AIDS. Adam & Steve is one of those films and I thank FunnyBoy Films for making it.The film starts off in the 1980s when Adam, a goth and his obese friend Rhonda go to a dance club in NYC called Danceateria. Adam meets a "dazzle dancer" who performed at the club and they go back to Adam's apartment for a one-night-stand that ends disastrously. See the film for yourself, this will be one of the grossest and most hilarious scenes in a film since the 'hairgel' incident in "There's Something About Mary." Fast forward twenty years, Adam and Steve meet again without realizing they had met two decades earlier. They start dating and only after they've been dating for a while do they realize that they had met at Danceteria back in 1987.This film has a wonderful cast. Craig Chester as Adam, Malcolm Gets as Steve and Parker Posey as Rhonda. I could have done without Chris Kattan as Steve's roommate Michael, but he's not in a larger percentage of the film, so that's okay."Adam & Steve" combines an irreverent sense of humor as well as genuine and heartfelt emotions that demonstrates the trials of relationships whether they be gay or straight. This film is over-the-top at times with crass and unapologetically vulgar humor, but trust me, this film will make you laugh hysterically.While the film did have a relatively small budget, there is no issues with the quality of the cameras used. The footage is not grainy or amateurish in any sense. This film certainly would not be an Oscar contender, but in a world where there seems to be a barrage of bad news, I think that we could use more outrageously funny comedies like "Adam & Steve".
