Review of Adam & Steve

Adam & Steve (2005)
Horrible Mess
1 September 2006
Why some the the better-known actors were willing to attach their names to this "so-bad- it's-awful" flick, I do not know. Cartoonish script, over-acted roles, under-directed scenes, ridiculously lame costumes...you name it, this inept attempt at a comedy possesses it times ten.

Even the "1987" opening of the film is off-base, with music and wardrobe missing the mark by about three years. The two lead characters presented during this segment bear no resemblance to their 17-years-later counterparts.

Randomly mixing "Airplane"-style slapstick with standard sitcom fare results in an awkwardly unfunny "farce."

The gay-bashing "joke" running throughout the film isn't funny - getting hit in the head with a full beer bottle can do some serious damage. Is the intended gay audience happy with a film that appears intent on making them look like morons? Yes, it's a freshman flick by one of the two leads, but being that he's been in several gay-themed films, you'd think some of the earlier, more professional experiences would have "rubbed off."
