Adam & Steve (2005)

"Laugh-out-loud absurdity." -OUT MagazineRaucously funny and sweetly romantic Adam & Steve is a twisted tender comedy that would surely make "John Waters cackle with glee" (LA Weekly). In the 1980s Adam (Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets) had a horrifically embarrassing one-night stand. When they meet again years later they fail to recognize each other and fall in love-as do their wisecracking best friends (Parker Posey and Chris Kattan). Honest irreverent and a whole lot of fun Adam & Steve is all about making love work-whatever the odds.System Requirements:Running Time: 99 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 807839002287 Manufacturer No: TLAD151 Product Description

Almost awful

There was something quirky about this movie at first, even after the initial nightmarish beginning scene, but soon it faded to a cartoon version of itself, particularly Adam's family. What was that all about? It turned a mediocre film into a just plane bad film. There were a couple of giggles mixed with the groans, but I'd pass on this one. July 4, 2008

A B- Movie

The film "Adam & Steve," written by, directed by and starred in by Craig Chester-- he plays the bungling addict-in-recovery gay Jewish character who now conducts bird-watching tours in New York but seventeen years ago in 1987, was a twenty-something in white makeup-- is an uneven movie, a romantic comedy but that has its moments. Some of them are the country-western line-dance number stepped to the hilarious song "S--t Happens; Adam's lover Steve's singing from "The Sound of Music" of "Something Good"; the title itself, which takes the oft-quoted statement from the religious right, that God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and turns it on its head, for example; the wedding scene for all its hokiness is quite moving.

On the other hand, parts of the movie are way over the top-- the diarrhea scene is disgusting, much of Rhonda's (Parkey Posey) stand-up comedy routine is boring, and Chris Kattan as Steve's straight roommate is miscast.

"Adam & Steve" is certainly not up to the quality of "Brokeback Mountain" but is better than a dozen low-budget gay-themed movies, whatever that means, the names of which I have long since forgotten. March 31, 2008

Romantic comedy of two men who are given a second chance.

I rented this film a few weeks ago not expecting anything spectacular, but I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed this movie so much that I had to own my own copy and rushed out to get it yesterday!

I have not seen most of these actors except Chris Kattan and felt that the movie could not have been better cast! The acting is superb and well directed by the main character (Adam). The actors did an excellent job provoking all of the appropriate emotions and really captured the audience's attention very well.

The story is truly unique and blends a perfect mix of comedy, drama, romance, and most importantly, fun! Basically, the story begins with Adam (Craig Chester) and his best friend Rhonda (Parker Posey) who are at a 80s club in Manhattan. She suggests that he give into his feelings for a "dazzle dancer" Steve (Malcolm Gets) who he laid eyes on earlier for the first time. They soon discover that they are perfect for each other, but something goes wrong to upset the whole evening and they never see each other again. Years pass and fate reunites the destined couple once again, although neither Adam nor Steve realize who the other is after so much time. They fall in love all over again only to find out that this was the second time they had crossed paths. This time, Rhonda meets Steve's roommate Michael (Chris Kattan) and sparks begin to fly there as well! The whole story is non-stop humor and an emotional ride that will definitely keep you entertained from beginning to end!

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough as it provides a heartwarming story with an excellent cast. This has become a well-welcomed addition to my gay movie collection as I'm sure it would make an exceptional addition to yours! Grab your popcorn and enjoy! January 15, 2008

Funniest movie ever!!!!!!

I watched this movie everytime it came on the LOGO channel so I HAD to buy it. It is hilarious with the actors perfect for the parts. Don't want to give too much away but just suffice it to say that there are parts that will make you scream and say "Oh my GAWD!" in laughter.
A love connection that started with lust, a bit of coke and laxative turns into something beautiful...kinda!
The DVD contains unedited scenes and interviews with scenes from the dance rehearsals. November 15, 2007

Movie for everyone to enjoy

I really like this movie. It's funny and has some positive messages in it too. It makes us gay men and women feel more comfortable about who we are. It's very rare to see a movie like this that has openly gay actors playing the main role, which makes the movie more realistic and has a good flow to it. Recommend it to everyone!!! November 7, 2007
