Did You Know?

Trivia:
Greg Berlanti originally turned down the role of director, and he said in interviews that the studio offered the director position to him at least three times because they couldn't find the right director. By the fourth or fifth time they'd asked him, he accepted.See more »
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene in the kitchen with Dennis and Kevin, Dennis reports that "My friend's relationship hit Defcon 5". Defcon 5 is the lowest status, not the highest.See more »
Quotes:
Leslie:You see, I told you we should've just drugged him and jerked him off.
Patrick:Drugged me and... is this the woman that you want to become a mother with?
Anne:She's serious, too.

Amen, sister, 19 January 2004
Author: R_O_U_S from United Kingdom

How un-promising does a gay male Sex In The City sound? This one took me quite by surprise. It's a frequently very funny romantic comedy, that only occasionally dips into cliche. Why America remade Queer As Folk when they already had this is beyond me. Is "Queer as folk" ever an expression over there? Anyway, this includes Frasier's Dad and Superman amongst its gay baseball team, so it's good in my book.
