I thought the film was mislabelled as a comedy. The title showed promise of hilarity but degenerated into a depressing scenario of lack of tolerance, bigotry, hatred of things not understood, and abuse. Quite frankly it was the most depressing movie I've seen in a long time. If you want a good movie of that subject try "Better Than Chocolate". Mind you it does represent a fairly accurate assessment of American tolerance especially down south where the radical religious groups are. My partner and I watched the movie waiting for the comedy to begin. With such a working title as it was, the screen writers, producers, directors etc could have had a field day and come up with a brilliant movie. Stereotypical homophobic characters are simply not funny in movies or really life. What I was expecting was a lovely town with gays in it, suddenly thrust into comic scenarios and panic over the state of their water supply. But no, instead we got a mish mash of male egos bruised because their wives dares to kiss another female, boorish, snobby gossipy women.........bah. American Trash is a better title for the film

It is a little corny, but I enjoyed the movie and bought a copy. I am gay and the stereo types and the strange reactions of the the town's people and families etc. could not be more the truth, just said a little different, and we know its not because of the water. But this show was funny to me, because I have lived in places where being gay was dangerous at best and this little movie put into my minds eye and I hope in others as well, just how much people do not look outside of the box, or just how back water a majority of people still would like to tar and fête anyone that is different and that includes loving someone of the same sex, or even of a different race. God loves all his children and no one should be able to put their shoulds on you. Who has the right to say who you can share your heart with? But as far as we have come, we still as a nation, have yet so far to go. I hope Kelli Herd writes an It's in the Water two, I would like to see a show, that evolves and involves gay and Hetro couples living in the same town, even as small as this little made up town in Texas, and believe me, I lived in Texas in the 70's and this was very light judgementalism compared to the real dangers that were present at the time, with out a lot of bull or xxx rated stuff. Just normal folks living a normal life. I of coarse really liked the combination of Two Woman she picked for the female lead parts. It would be nice if they lived in my town. <(*~*)>.

Movie about a small Texas town where the country club set rules and a rumor that the water will make you gay sends them all into a tailspin.Not the best production values in the world, but the wires aren't obvious, and, all-in-all an enjoyable movie, one of the few that I could pretty much watch anytime.There's a message in it, but it's not at all preachy. It is a lot of fun, and there's some hot moments in it for just about everyone.On the DVD, the commentary by the director and the two main actors is entertaining as well.

So I settle myself down for a great gay movie from the distribution company that brought me "Defying Gravity" and the wonderful "Big Edin" and I had to struggle to make it through, hoping for a redeeming moment. It never came. The scenes that were supposed to be funny weren't, the one that were supposed to be touching weren't. I just never cared about a person, animal or plant in this movie. Maybe it was because it was poorly directed, acted, edited and written. Maybe it was just ill conceived, If anyone tries to convince you it is "in the water," ask for a different glass.
