A lighthearted look at gay love, and a far more honest and ultimately more touching exploration of the theme than what we got up on Brokeback Mountain.

Reviews for Adam & Steve
Chester has a good ear for the snappy one-liner and this, plus his obviously hard-earned knowledge of the quirks in the gay mating game, put over his determinedly black romantic comedy.

It tries for cheap laughs, gets a couple of them, and whizzes the rest of them right down its pant leg.

Chester could have used a major rewrite, or at least some serious editing.
06/15/06
Chester's script is a series of set pieces that all contain exaggerated characters for comic effect. There are numerous one-liners that hit the mark and the central relationship follows its ups and downs along the lines of a conventional romantic comedy w
06/07/06
Clever, liberatingly silly and sweet.
05/12/06
A clunky doofus, a comedy of meet-cutes and weak jokes.
05/12/06
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
Starting your film with a display of public incontinence isn't the best way to win over the audience.
04/21/06
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
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
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
Top Critic[Chester] and the goofy Gets make a likable comedy team.
04/14/06
Top CriticSo awkwardly directed by star Chester that its timing and tone are hopelessly uneven.
04/07/06
Plays as urban farce, but thanks to first-time director Chester's light touch and affectionally observant eye and ear, it's also a genuinely affecting love story.
04/07/06
Top CriticMaterial is uneven, but rhythm and pacing keep action moving smartly.
04/07/06
Top CriticThe sort of production that could be performed on stage by a high-school student group.
