Irishchatter This movie was like an adventure to me because it really added the twist on the religious side of being gay. The backup angel dancers were such an energetic and confident bunch,I hardly kept up with them! They have done such an amazing job on the dancing! I thought the actor that played God was excellent and really suited the role of being a 'father figure' even though God is meant to be a father but anyhow. Liz McCartney really stole the stage with her singing as Patty-Maye. I couldn't believe for a woman that sang beautifully, she could sing throughout a whole play without any breathing problems haha! No she was a truly excellent singer. Now onto the actors of 'Adam and Steve', I liked how Eddie really cared about his parents finding out he was gay because it seemed like he was prepared to move out but as you know, the parents accepted him for who he was after seeing the play which was touching! Then as for Paul, I was amazed that he didn't fall in love with his co-star but fell in love with a fan! It was really sweet but it gave the feeling that he was a 'stalker' rather then a 'lover'. I wasn't put off by that though because it seemed very romantic. I would love anyone to see this film and capture its musical style with brilliant actors and singers :)

Adam Jones I LOVED this movie and thought it was uplifting, inspirational, and if you watch it ALL the way too the very end it will make you feel extremely good about yourself. While I understand how some of the other reviews don't feel the movie is a good representation of everyone in the gay community, but to be honest I would ignore them. I think they are letting how they act personally affect how they are rating the movie and their picture of entire LGBT Community. It's true not all LGBT people act like the actors in this movie portray them, but not every straight guy acts like Barney on "How I Met Your Mother".(Who by the way is played by a gay actor).

jalupsurtin Superficial and stereotypical. No substance of any kind. Not up to date with the times. As someone else wrote. Move along. The musical numbers should never long and boring, especially in something billing itself a musical. Not what people want to see these days. When the acting is so-so, not the storyline indeed nothing can hold interest. Stereo types be it southern accents or whatever ... and such cannot save what could have been a worthwhile venture. If it had only sought to distinguish itself in some way that modern audience could relate to. That's not to say there is not a small niche audience. There clearly could be an audience for a collection of show tunes done by unknown or little known artists. But this would be quite small. Those expecting something truly 'big' will be disappointed? Too much emphasis on bodies and hook-ups moves any movie away from something to be taken seriously and into just an excuse to show these things. That is never a good thing to project to the serious movie going public. In a musical, singing and dancing should be first rate, the story should be engaging and if in fact it is based on cliché, at least it could be original in scope and context, not the same tired venues and story lines that someone would expect from similar projects 20 years ago. If you are looking for a musical that is significant to life in the 2000s, then you may better off looking elsewhere.

hotkeyz-721-360406 Call me cliché, call me gay, call me what you like, but I quite enjoyed this movie. Contrary to other reviews I read before deciding to give this film a chance, I was pleasantly surprised by 'The Big Gay Musical.' Having seen many movies with a gay theme - many of which I will never miss seeing again - I was happy to spend several hours of my precious free time on this one.I though the casting choices were very good, and the quality of the acting was commendable. The reality is that for someone looking in from outside the gay culture there is a tendency to focus on key plot points of the story line - call them cliché - and review them negatively. Unfortunately this only underlines a lack of understanding, and misses the important messages of the sub-plots to the people for whom this movie has ultimately been made.The Broadway style vocals and musical styling were a true reflection of what I would expect from a modern off-Broadway musical. Although there were variations in the appeal of the featured music, there were several songs and performers which were inspiring. The love song delivered by Michael Schiffman's character Charles was uplifting, as was Liz McCartney's performance of "As I Am."All in all it's an entertaining story about that old gay cliché about musicals. The use of numerous gay clichés throughout the storyline was amusing, and sometimes thought provoking. I don't believe this is the type of film intended to communicate deep philosophical messages about the gay world. It's a film that's supposed to challenge your beliefs about gay stereotypes and profiling whilst also making you feel good about yourself. And it did.
