I had a ball watching this. The bad see meets birdcage. Two great gay guys want a baby and instead get the foster kids from hell. And then the fun begins. Kimberly Scott and Elaine Hendrix really deliver on the performances. It was fun to see the Bundy kid from Married with Children in the mix too but I wish he had more to do. Same for Jim J. Bullock, so funny. Obviously a low budgeter, it looks good anyway. My favorite is the grandma. A grandma at last. Patience Cleveland. Hilarious. Where did they get that house? Love it. Some day the story of gays adopting kids will seem curious. In the meantime, there are a lot of kids in the foster care system who would be happy to have a home like this.

Read the reviews here before I saw the flick, so I almost didn't watch it. It didn't turn out half as bad. In fact I rather enjoyed it. Acting and script weren't mind-blowing, but it was decent if a little wooden in parts. Worth a watch if you like something feel-good. I think it was a wrong move to market the movie as a slap-knee comedy, as they suggest on the cover, because that it isn't. Most times I was actually more holding my breath about the future of the various relationships. I think it was more of a comedy-drama. Plot-wise, the story dragged a little, but the ending is rather nice.Oh, and the gay couple who are the main characters are really hot.

This direct-to-video clunker about a wealthy, buff, Beverly Hills gay couple suddenly saddled with two abandoned kids to test their mettle as foster parents is so badly acted and written that it's painful to watch. The only actor who doesn't come off as amateurish or awkward/under-rehearsed is Kimberly Scott as the Child Services rep, but the way she just drops these kids into the couple's life is absurd and unbelievable. In fact, I didn't make it all the way through. I'm all for films that show different aspects of how gay men live, though this film still trots out the usual drag queens, etc., and the couple does live a rarified existence. Someday we'll get a good film about gay adoption, but this one isn't it.

What do you get when you mix a successful gay couple with two foster kids from the streets? Well, you could get Get Your Stuff, a cute film about the good times and bad times that might happen if you mix the two mismatched ingredients above. Farce? No, it never reaches that state, but it is frequently funny.The story is about Phil (Cameron Watson), a couples counselor and Eric (Anthony Meindl), a lawyer. The two want to adopt a baby (mostly it seems from the prodding of Eric's mom), and are just approved to be foster parents in the meantime. Through some coaxing and borderline blackmailing, they agree to take in T.J. and Brian for one night. That becomes one more night and one more and, well, you get the picture.The kids are actually decent actors and, at times, out-act the adults. T.J. (Grady Hutt) is the optimistic one and tries to get his brother to straighten up so they can have a home. Brian (Blayn Barbosa), on the other hand, is not as accepting and wants nothing to do with Phil and Eric until their case worker, Gloria, talks them into working the couple to make themselves more appealing. The film deals with all these problems with a light touch -- never wanting to truly offend anyone. So they are played up for laughs; however, the message still gets through. In fact, it takes its toll on Eric who wanted nothing more than a baby and not an entire family of problems and promptly leaves in the film's worst scene that includes Phil screaming and pulling a gun out on his clients and doing the same to Eric as he drives off.But that type of scene is, thankfully, not the norm. Most of the picture is feel-good and enjoyable. More so when Kimberly Scott is on the screen. She plays Gloria with sass, determination and heart. The movie is made better by her tough love portrayal -- especially the scenes with the kids. There is one at the beginning of the film where the kids arrive at the house while Phil and Eric are having an anniversary party. Brian goes for the wine and argues that kids in Europe drink it. Gloria responds with, "They can also speak three languages. When you can speak three languages, then we can talk."Get Your Stuff doesn't set the film world on fire, but it is a fun jaunt. It's something to pass the time in world that touches on reality, but doesn't actually ground itself there.
