Consensus: Ethan Green makes for an annoying protagonist, the jokes aren't funny, and everyone is as flat as the paper the comic is printed on.

After going through men like Kleenex, Ethan finally meets the holy grail of dream dates, Kyle Underhill, a gorgeous professional baseball player who's just come out. After declaring that Kyle is in fact 'The One' to his skeptical friends and family that include his lesbian roommate Charlotte, his boring but reliable ex-boyfriend Leo, the irrepressible Hat Sisters, and his loving gay-wedding-planner mother, Ethan and Kyle begin a tumultuous four-month love affair. Disaster strikes when Ethan's former boyfriend, Leo, threatens to sell the house where Ethan lives. In an attempt to avoid being evicted from his home and jeopardize his new relationship with Kyle, Ethan concocts a wild scheme to keep his home from being sold. Enlisting the help of a 19 year old real estate agent's assistant named Punch, who possesses a romantic agenda of his own, Ethan soon manages to weave a madcap web of lies and deceit that lands him in EVERYONE'S dog house. Naturally, the scheme crashes and burns and Ethan is unable to prolong the sale of the house. In the film's climax, Ethan is forced to finally make a choice between the hunky Kyle, the impassioned Punch, or a life of endless speed dating. -- © Regent Releasing [More]

Reviews for The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
In his directing debut, David Vernon, formerly a first assistant and second assistant director, opts for the look of a cable TV pilot.
The drawings of Eric Orner's comic strip on which the movie is based are more animated than the actors who fail to give any dimension to their characters.
With its unpleasant characters, inconsistent script and awkward acting, what's not to hate?
There's no visual life to it, the humor is lazy and broad, and the players are as two-dimensional as their cartoon origins suggest.
Tiresome romantic comedy that reinforces every imaginable gay stereotype.
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous.
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Then Green is another step back for the gay community.
No, he doesn't have anything terribly important, or even original to say, but he's funny, flighty and adorable, sort of like a gay Holly Golightly.
A frothy lark with a decided sense of the outrageous, sincere affection for its characters and their romantic plights.
Remarkably true to its source: It's none too deep and a tad cartoonish, but also fast-paced, filled with quotable one-liners and often very funny.
Not un-entertaining, but director George Bamer's debut feature may play better on video.
Ethan Green may not exactly be fabulous, but it is pleasantly diverting.
