larapha A 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.

gradyharp A funny line from a funny song, but somehow it captures the mood of this light little comedy, made with enough wit and ingenuity to keep our attention, rehashing some tired gay stereotypes with a fresh approach, and in the end just offering a pastiche that should find an appreciative audience. George Bamber takes on his first directing role and uses a comic strip (Eric Orner) translated for the screen by David Vernon and populates his movie with an attractive cast of men (and women) and ably manages to make the individual frames of a comic strip almost become a smooth storyline.Ethan Green (the talented Daniel Letterle) has problems with relationships: he has been in many from Juarez (Ramon De Ocampo) who still lives with Ethan's gay boy loving mother Harper (Meredith Baxter), to previously closeted baseball player Leo (Diego Serrano), to Kyle (David Monahan) to the very young Punch (Dean Shelton). The crux of the story revolves around the difficulty of selling Leo's house and the ways in which the various ex-lovers interact provides the somewhat frustrating line of dialogue.Comic relief is supplied by two elderly gentlemen known as the Hat Sisters (Joel Brooks and Richard Riehle) as well as the shenanigans of the real estate people. Of course we know from the beginning who will end up with whom, but the getting there is fairly fun. The cast obviously has such a good time with the film that they forget to enunciate and so much of the dialogue is swallowed. But they are all fun to watch so it matters little that the superficial aspects of the story remain sub rosa. Grady Harp, October 06

Paul Creeden I am old enough to have been a fan of the original comic strip in our Boston gay weekly. The comic-strip glibness of the movie will be missed by anyone expecting it to be a romantic comedy in the cinematic sense. Seen in the light of its original genre, it is well done as a low-budget film. All that glitters is not gold, and all that doesn't isn't necessarily shabby. Daniel Letterle suffices as the clueless Ethan. He does 'duh blonde' quite well. The Hat Sisters, a real-life and venerable Bostonian team, were done justice. Defensive young gay movie goers might be made uncomfortable by a rather stinging and accurate, yet overblown, portrayal of gay dating among the young. Kids will be kids. I speculate that the lack of more athletic T & A will effect the box-office, but I think this small movie will gradually earn its place on the shelf with other 'gay lite' films like it. In that context, it's pretty good.

recordmaster360 Great Comedy So Funny. The story-(gay or straight) is the same. The dating world, always looking for something better, something perfect. George Bamber did a terrific job directing. David Vernon's writing was creative. Acting by all was real and sometimes surprising even the Hat Sisters were believable. Rebecca Lowman played a convincing basket case. Dean Shelton playing Punch was hilarious he did a impressive job portraying every persons young impetuous self. I loved Meredith Baxter she plays such a remarkable non judgmental mom. This is a entertaining, fun night out at the movies. I saw it first in New York and can't wait to see it again.
