Reviews for Adam & Steve

08/28/06
Adam & Steve is a mostly bland, sporadically crude, by-the-numbers romantic comedy about two gay men in love.
03/30/06
For every shtick that works, there are two that don't. Adam & Steve is not the knee-slapper it wants to be, but it's endearing nonetheless.
03/31/06
A clunky doofus, a comedy of meet-cutes and weak jokes.
05/12/06
Adam & Steve strikes an unsatisfying balance between serious romantic texture and outright farce.
03/30/06
Top CriticIt tries for cheap laughs, gets a couple of them, and whizzes the rest of them right down its pant leg.
09/05/06
Adam & Steve mainly goes to prove that indie gay romantic comedies can be just as witless, vulgar and over the top as their straight, major studio counterparts.
04/19/06
The sort of production that could be performed on stage by a high-school student group.
04/07/06
Adam & Steve does distinguish itself from its fellow gay comedies -- in exactly one way: It's possibly the most low-brow of the lot.
04/21/06
So awkwardly directed by star Chester that its timing and tone are hopelessly uneven.
04/07/06
Cheap-looking, amateurishly written, and badly acted...
04/06/06
Chester could have used a major rewrite, or at least some serious editing.
06/15/06
Craig Chester's Adam is a whiney, neurotic irritant, the human equivalent of shingles.
10/20/05
There is an underlying story here, and some comic ideas, that in the hands of a better director (or more ruthless editor) could have become an entertaining romantic comedy.
03/30/06
Top CriticStarting your film with a display of public incontinence isn't the best way to win over the audience.
04/21/06
I can't think of another film in which the embarrassment over a freak bowel movement impedes the course of love and commitment.
05/11/06
Who said mainstream Hollywood has a monopoly on dumb, gross-out farces? The gay, independent comedy Adam & Steve is as crude and nonsensical as any number of B-list studio equivalents.
03/30/06
Top CriticPure amateur-hour stuff: a low-budget, poorly written gay movie that revolves around a crude joke and repeatedly delivers embarrassment when it's supposed to be offering humor.
04/14/06
Are you looking for a gay romance where no one has to die tragically or suffer a loveless life alone? Then this fluffy indie should hit the spot.
