Canned theater. Full Review |

In 1975, the idea of a straight man tying up a gay burglar was exotic, darkly humorous and sexually charged. In director/star Steve Guttenberg's new film version, it comes off as no big deal. Full Review |

[The Boys in the Band] is much wittier and funnier than the comparatively frantic and frenzied shouting matches devised by Messrs. Guttenberg, Korn and Kirkwood. Full Review |

Remains too much a filmed play. Full Review |

 |
Guttenberg is a capable director; his framing is crisp, his pacing brisk, his eye alert to telling detail. Full Review |

Guttenberg ... obviously meant this as a major stretch, and does his best acting work since his breakthrough in Diner. Full Review |

A two-character roundelay whose modicum of enjoyment depends largely on your own personal appetite for social commentary transparently dressed up as assertively quirky entertainment. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Guttenberg's Jimmy is such a natural extension of the actor himself, which adds a dimension the original playwright never could have imagined. Full Review |

It's another world now, which is why Kirkwood's play, adapted to the screen by actor Steve Guttenberg, feels so moldy and out of date. Full Review |

2/4 |
It is, inevitably, an actorly exercise -- not off-puttingly so, perhaps, but at no time do we have a sense that we've transcended the stage. Or, for that matter, 1970. Full Review |

2/4 |
The performances are solid, but as a screenwriter, Guttenberg can't make the situation seem like more than a theatrical construct in a contemporary setting. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
Dominated by an unshaven Guttenberg mugging, ranting, screaming and hurling himself around the luxurious loft set we're meant to believe is a squalid dump that serves as a nagging reminder to Jimmy of his inadequacies. Full Review |

2/5 |
The story doesn't have anywhere interesting to go once Kate, appropriately humiliated, slinks away. Full Review |

It's nicely acted by the small cast. Full Review |

The film's completely declawed of energy and comedy. Full Review |

While [Guttenberg's] tenacity is undeniable, he would have been wiser to let sleeping cats lie. Full Review |
