Gay Romance Movie: Adam & Steve (2005)

Director: Craig Chester

Writer (WGA): Craig Chester (written by)

Release Date: 24 April 2005 (Tribeca Film Festival, USA)

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Tagline: the tempting new comedy from the producers of 'Latter Days'

Plot: Follows two New York city couples -- one heterosexual and one gay who explore the peaks and the valleys of their respective relationships.

Raucously funny and sweetly romantic, Adam & Steve is a twisted, tender comedy that would surely make “John Waters cackle with glee” (L.A. Weekly). In the 1980s, Adam (writer/director Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets, HBO's “Grey Gardens”) had a horrifically embarrassing one night stand. When they meet again years later, they fail to recognize each other and fall in love – as do their wisecracking best friends (Parker Posey, For Your Consideration, Best in Show and Chris Kattan, TV’s “Saturday Night Live”). Honest, irreverent and a whole lot of fun, Adam & Steve is all about making love work – whatever the odds.

"“A wise, hilarious gay-marital romp … the entire cast is perfection.”" Michael Musto, Village Voice

"“Warm--and often hysterically funny--comedy about two decent guys who endure some really humiliating complications on the way to love.”" Anne Stockwell, The Advocate

"“Irreverent, farcical romp… Adam & Steve tries to do for the gay film what There’s Something About Mary did for the hetero sex comedy: artfully blend raunchiness and sincerity.”" Mark Dundas Wood, Backstage

Awards: 2007 Prism Awards Nomination as Feature Film - Limited Release

Adam & Steve is a very nice romance comedy. I'm not sure to like very much when it pushes a bit too much on the grotesque, I felt like it couldn't be a normal romance comedy since it was a gay romance comedy. But truth be told, the grotesque is for both couples in the movie, the gay and the hetero, so maybe it's only my impression.

Anyway, it's definitely one of the few gay romance comedy with a good and full happily ever after, and it's also funny, so, for once, you can see a gay themed movie without having to deal with all the usual angst.

Yes, it was fun. I preferred the romance part, but it's obvious that the author is a good comedian also. Elisa
