That was an excellent one.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreA lot could be said about this somewhat neglected movie. Where Ethan a woman, situations would differ very little, perhaps with less skin. The plot centers on the difficulties of Ethan in finding Mr. Right, for, as was stated by another reviewer, he looks for Mr. Alright. It's a reality for many people, always in search of prince charming. This is told in a light, hilarious way. Ethan is surrounded by a cast of beauties (with a cutest David Monahan among them) and drops them all, for one reason or another, or simply for no reason at all. A film that can be seen many times, with different moods and appreciation, bringing joy and, why not, some philosophical insights.
View MoreWhy? Oh, why did they make a movie about the Ethan Green comic strip?Funny when appearing every two weeks in the newspaper, as a film it falls flat. You want to like this film but that is impossible. Better to have made a film about the "Hat Sisters." The script is as if someone took some of the printed comics from the newspaper, taped them on paper and called it a script. Everyone's dialog would probably be better in speech bubbles. A character that would be funny in two or three panels of a comic strip does not make a movie. Actors look uncomfortable...and look like they are searching for cue cards. I heard this movie was made in two weeks...it shows.And look who made the film: HERE! Those folks are single handedly destroying gay film .
View MoreThis movie features: -Loads of really hot guys, often barely clothed -One awesome performance by two middle aged men -Lots of superb comedy, including hysterical situation set-ups, witty dialogue with lines you're bound to remember, special German/Bavarian humour (no spoilers - just see for yourself), off screen commentary that is very smartly used and thus pointedly funny and more.There just isn't any reason not to like this movie. Really. It's not a classic -nor classy by any definition- but it's wickedly entertaining. The acting is perfectly on the level of "mainstream" TV, which certainly can't be said about many "gay" movies. The cast is terrific, production values are top, actually no reason why this shouldn't be a wide release. Except for the gay thing, alas.Watch it.
View MoreWhat a pleasure this film is! It is so light, fun and breezy that you want it to go on. I have to confess, I have never seen the comic strip that the film is based on, so I didn't know what to expect, but what I got was a truly funny film.This is what gay cinema should strive for when it comes to making comedies. I saw this film at a gay & lesbian festival in Chicago and there were plenty of other comedies that felt like they were all the same. (Boy meets boy, boy likes boy, boy goes after boy, boy has sex with other boys, boy gets boy, boy dumps boy, boy gets boy. Or the usual recent contraption of boy likes girl, boy pretends to be gay to befriend girl, etc. etc.)And might I add, why isn't Meredith Baxter in more movies? She kicked ass in this and looks as beautiful as ever. I want to see her everywhere now. Who knew Alex P. Keaton's mom would end up as a funny and snarky mom who lives with her gay son's ex-boyfriend and has a potty mouth! Classic.All in all, if you get a chance to see this film, do it. No idea when it will be on video or out in theatres (other then its festival run), but remember the name.
