Storyline

Screwball comedy with a modern twist; instead of Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant, it's Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Two college roommates (victims of a mutually unrequited love) meet up again five years after school at their housemate's wedding. With the introduction of a Bellamy-esque soap star, the sparks, sexual and verbal, start to fly, as the ex-roommates try to navigate their new romance.

Quotes

Beth: Who cares? You've got Sterling, and that's a pretty great consolation prize.
Bob: Yeah, I know... but... sometimes, even with Sterling, I feel like I want to go for a brand new car.
Beth: One more chance at the Showcase Showdown of luuuve.
Bob: You know... give the big wheel one more spin... to see if for once I'm... lucky... and not just practical.
Beth: Bob?
Bob: Yeah?
Beth: I'd go for practical.
Bob: Really?
Beth: [nodding] I always tend to over bid in the first round.

User Reviews

Rough edges, warm heart & Gorgeous Alexis Arquette

It's a very gay film that's accessible to everybody. It's fun, it's witty, and leaves you with a certain fuzziness. Yes, it does also lack scope - looking a little tele-movieish and there's some continuity errors too, but its gentle nature and humour make up for these small problems, especially on the second viewing where one can look past this to view its true essence. And it's also refreshing to see a gay film that doesn't have to scream the fact from the roof tops, it's for anyone gay or straight. As for Alexis Arquette he's the best thing ever to hit the screen in queer cinema...I can't wait to see what he does next !
