A good laugh - slow start but hits the mark and great ending - By: Andrew, 21 Jul 2008 
It took a while for me to get into the charactersin this - it seemed a bit unfocussed to begin with but as the wedding looms & the characters get together & start getting mixed up with each other the film became really enjoyable & there were a lot of laugh-out-loud scenes & lines. I thought it was going to be a disappointing film but by the end was really enjoying it & loved the ending.
Feel Good Gay Movie - By: , 25 Nov 2001 Light Hearted romantic gay comedy which is both touching & funnyin parts. Do not expect too much & you will not be disappointed. An excellent film, much better than other recent filmsin this genre.
Fantastic, Funny, Whitty & Touching! - By: E. Fleury, 31 Jul 2000 
Wow, we are stillin tears. What a great alternative love story. Comedy, drama, romance, great music! Well written & casted, great story line. We were skepticle at first, but as the plot unwound, we were drawnin & even sympathetic towards the two leading men. There are laughs galore & even a few tear jerking moments! There is a delghtful touch added by the character Aunt Alice (Marnie Nixon) {the off screen voice of Eliza Dolittle (My Fair Lady) & Maria (West Side Story)} how great to finally see the woman behind the voice. Are you a romantic? you too will LOVE this film. This brought back tons of College memories. We rate five tissues!
dissapointing - By: , 09 Jul 2000 
the premise is good, the idea is there -- but where is the script? i watched this expecting to actually come away thinking i'd seen a film, but it has no substance, and, it seems, no point. okay, so bob & brendan get together, but was the film worth watching just to find this out? because this is essentially all the film does. The trouble is, this is a gay film trying to pretend it isn't so that it can livein mainstream land, when really it would have done better to be honest about the fact that the two main characters are bob & brendan. instead it gives them too much distance & tries to pretend the other minor characers are as important [for instance, interspersing the scene where they sleep together with what everyone else is doing at he time .this could have worked, if they had made more of a deal out of it, & panned out to what everyone else was doing --slapping soppy music over the top just meshed all the scenes together making them indiscript, & overshadowed the supposed importance of the two of them sleeping together. leaving on the actual sounds & splitting these scenes up would have shown the fact that eric sleeping with the bride's sister, say, did not have nearly the same sinificance as bob & brendan sleeping together.] another of the problems leading to their relationship seeming insignificant is the fact that it is not filmed from either bob or brendan's point of view, or anyone else's for that matter, which distances the viewer from the film & characters quite significantlyin this case.Portraying the characters with minor partsin the same way as the main characters only gives the impression that you're pretending their part is actually bigger, & doesn't make for quality viewing [perhaps someone should have informed the writers of this] which leads to the conclusion that it is a gay film for some reason pretending not to be, to very much detrimental effect. & what does it actually show of bob & brendan's relationship anyway, apart from at the beginning? the only part of the film remotely pointing out why brendan loves bob are the college flashbacks at the beginning [where it should be added that his character at least seemed consistant & the love/tension believable] what happened laterin the supposed bulk of the film i cannot quite undestand. brendan's interchanging between arrogance one minute & ridiculous vulnerability the next was not only unbelievable & inconsistant, but it doesn't even seem to fit the characterin the flashbacks, there are three different brendansin this film, which don't fit together very well at all. -- i don't blame the actor, he seems quite competant at both, but the script writers could have made some more effort. also they failed to show why anybody would love bob. he did not seemin the least bit appealing, to be honest, to anyone, with his insanely unflattering scraped down hair [ very annoying, i found, though this is irrelevant] & incredibly whiny character. the best parts of the film were, firstly the college flashbacks, & secondly, the day of the wedding. things went decidedly downhill from the 'morning after' onwards unfortuanately. an altogether disapointing film. i would only recommend it as a teaching aid on how not to make a film, pointing out all its mistakes.
Beautiful, Romantic, astouning - By: , 03 Jul 2000 This movie contains the age old predictability of romantic movies these days but carries it off a lot beter. The acting s superb, the script is brilliant. It is a fil that concentrates on a budding gay relationship but avoids the stereo types that many gay movies to their best to exploit.
