All Over the Guy (2001)

Perfect Little Film

"All Over the Guy" is a great film that is funny, sweet, and lightly romantic. Although clearly low budget, the film rarely looks cheap. Dan Bucatinsky is wonderful in a film that he both wrote and stars in. In fact the entire cast (including inspired cameos by Christina Ricci and Lisa Kudrow) is superb - especially the amazing Sasha Alexander. Andrea martin steals every scene she is in! The performances are great all around and you find yourself rooting for the characters to live happily ever after. The dialogue is quirky and fun and probably is more idealized than that of real life, but wonderfully witty. Many scenes are lightly scored by a tender and touching soundtrack. An amazing little film that breaks the "rule" that all gay-themed movies are bad. June 12, 2008

I LOVE This movie!!!

"All Over The Guy" is SUCH a great movie! I watch it all the time, I don't think I'll ever tire of it. It's comical, heartbreaking, ironic, and in the end it's got the kind of ending I wish MORE such movies had, ESPECIALLY, "Brokeback Mountain", which I wish Ang Lee would have made an alternate - HAPPY - ending for the dvd.

"All Over The Guy" ends on a high note, like "Beautiful Thing" does. Unlike "Get Real" and certainly not like "Brokeback Mountain". ("Get Real" and "Beautiful Thing" are two others I watch all the time, with "Get Real" being my favorite of the two.)

I personally feel, "All Over The Guy", is a lot like real life. The moments of exuberation one moment, the crashing down the next, and in spite of the pain and heartache that "Eli" and "Tom" cause each other, they both feel bad about it moments later, and it's those moments that ultimately bring them together in the end... To hopefully realize they CAN have what each of us all want... Someone to love and love us in return.

You watch this movie and I PROMISE, whether you love it or hate it, it will touch you and stay with you always. January 5, 2008

All Over This Movie

Imagine! An honestly funny gay-themed movie and not a drag queen in sight! After the first introductory frames we are treated to one of the film's strongest attributes, the snappy and savvy rapid-fire dialog. I admit I had to watch a second time with the subtitles on to catch it all. The characters are very likable and they drive the cliché but time-honored plot of "boy-meets-boy, boy loses boy, will they hook up again?" Along the way the film touches on some universal themes such as attraction, fidelity, honesty, parents and long-term relationships. Although this film started as a stage play, it's one of the few that doesn't reveal its origins. Doris Roberts and Andrea Martin are both hilarious in their supporting roles. Loved it!

All Over Sasha Alexander!

Okay, where did this fine thespian come from? I loved the movie. The balance of humor and tension, kept my attention. However, it was Sasha Alexander that got me; her dimples and her eyes, and her complexion, were beautiful. Her on-screen presence was great.

I guess I would not know what a good Gay film would look like but, this seems to be one of them from what I've been reading. We are saying Gay film now but, this is a kind of movie that may one day just be called a very well put together film, I hope so. I look forward to the intersection of the third sex, and the third eye, all in one serious cinematic masterpiece.
