An absolute waste of money

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Gray (Heather Graham) lives with her brother Sam (Tom Cavanaugh, forgive me if I spelled that wrong) and they are so ridiculously close that they are frequently mistaken for a couple. The two agree to find the other a mate, which leads to Sam meeting Charlene or Charlie for short (Bridget Moynahan). Sam & Charlie fall madly in love and get married, much to Gray's shock & dismay, at first because she's afraid of being alone, and later when, during a drunk moment, Gray & Charlie lock lips before Charlie passes out. This sends Gray into a whirlwind of confusion as she grapples with the possibility that she might be gay. In the end, it is confirmed that yes, Gray is a victim of latent homosexuality, and her long delayed awakening to the truth of her own sexuality is painful & heart aching for her, and nearly wrecks things with her brother when she tells him about the drunken kiss with his wife, which makes him paranoid into thinking that maybe Charlie is a lesbian who simply married him to be near his sister. Ultimately, Gray is forced to accept the fact that Charlie does not love her, as Charlie is very much heterosexual, but she is able to patch things up with Sam, and the film ends hinting that Gray may have a chance with her conveniently lesbian boss Julia Barlett (Rachel Shelly).Well intentioned film about a late bloomer never really takes off and lacks the bite necessary to hit its marks. Graham is likable enough as the sexually confused heroine (though it's hard to believe that she could be THAT blind to the truth of her own sexuality), Tom is fine as her brother with support from Molly Shannon and Alan Cumming, but Bridget Moynahan has nothing to work with as Charlie, the MacGuffin love interest who ignites Graham's realization of her own homosexuality. Charlie is cute, sweet, sexy, fun loving and, well, that's about it, really. Moynahan does her best with a paper thin role, as does the rest of the cast.

OH MY GOD.. THE WORST SH*T I'VE EVER SEEN -this is the main thought which came into my mind right after watching the movie. And I really do not understand anybody with opposite myth. Though, maybe the idea was good but the effect miserable. I especially mean the role of H. Graham. What was that??? In my opinion it has destroyed all positive intentions of producers. The character was played in affected and annoying way. Every time she appears it reminds that you' re watching a movie and is destroying a spirit of the moment, then whole movie because the most time what you can see there are her stupid faces with more stupid attempts to create the emotion. TERRIBLE, don't waste your time.

Otherwise it is one of the worst movies I've ever seen - and I mean ever. My wife and I were both bored out of our minds within 10 minutes. Not to mention being boring, it is entirely unbelievable. Women (non-lesbian) don't bathe together - nor do they "accidentally" kiss. Brothers and sisters don't live together well into their 30s and run around swing dancing together and engaging in footraces in central park. Men don't find out their wife and sister romantically kissed the night before the wedding and then never discuss it with said wife. Absolutely ridiculous.Heather Graham is possibly the worst actress in films today. She smiles when she should be crying and vice versa. The only movie she has ever been good in is Boogie Nights - and that is because she wasn't acting.I cannot stress enough how bad this movie was.

If there has ever been a worse comedy than 'Gray Matters' I am unaware of it. The New York Jewish comedy's 'funny' premise is that siblings Sam & Gray are mistaken for a couple and so decide to fix Sam up with a girlfriend, only to find that Gray is equally attracted to their target - Charlie. The revelation that Gray is secretly gay is apparently only a surprise to her. There is a deeply offensive wedding sequence, a deeply embarrassing 'drunk act' from Moynahan and Graham, and a performance that would embarrass forests everywhere for its woodenness from Tom Cavanagh. Sissy Spacek demonstrates a complete inability to do comedy and will want this excised from her resume. Molly Shannon plays the homely friend with lumpen insouciance. Only Alan Cumming emerges with any credit but is seriously under-employed and given nothing with which to work. The whole disaster is cemented by Graham's bizarre eye-rolling performance culminating with the penultimate scene where she wears a comedy hat and an overcoat despite the scene being set in a lesbian bar. It is astonishing that this film was ever released it has no redeeming feature and should be avoided at all costs.
