Consensus: Gross-out comedy and true love make for an awkward mix in this clunky romance.

Reviews for Adam & Steve
It hits more often than it misses, and the best parts are always the simplest, in which the stars wing it with nothing to go on but their natural chemistry.
03/31/06
One of the most fundamental rights of man is the right to simply have a frivolous good time. And that's a rainbow flag that Adam & Steve proudly waves high.
03/31/06
Top CriticOften charming and funny, though sometimes quite gross.
03/31/06
Top CriticCo-stars Parker Posey and Chris Kattan offer minor diversions, but the humor never rises to the quality any New Yorker, regardless of sexual orientation, would expect.
03/31/06
Much of Craig Chester's good-hearted love story Adam & Steve is silly and contrived, but the film boasts four engaging actors, including Chester.
03/31/06
Top CriticAre 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.
03/31/06
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
Adam & Steve strikes an unsatisfying balance between serious romantic texture and outright farce.
03/30/06
Top CriticThere 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 CriticWho 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 CriticLike the Duran Duran videos it worships, Adam & Steve is so retro it's fresh.
03/30/06
Despite its unevenness, Adam & Steve manages to rise above the bodily function humor in ways that are silly and sincere at the same time.
03/30/06
I could have done without the over-the-top cowboy line-dancing finale at which all the boy-loses-boy complications were resolved, but it's hard to begrudge such a charming cast their happy ending.
03/30/06
Adam & Steve is a mostly bland, sporadically crude, by-the-numbers romantic comedy about two gay men in love.
03/30/06
Adam & Steve is uneven, but it’s a relief to see a gay romance that isn’t about ab-perfect 20-year-olds, and which features lovers played by two long out-of-the-closet actors.
03/30/06
Writer-director Craig Chester's debut is truly enjoyable.
03/28/06
Chester cleverly conflates the personal trauma of the titular couple's 18-year-old incontinence nightmare with the national horror of 9/11.
03/16/06
Craig Chester's Adam is a whiney, neurotic irritant, the human equivalent of shingles.
