Dragoneyed363 I had mildly low expectations on this movie. I predicted it would be a second rate comedy, cheesy, hardly any romance at all, and just was unworthy of my time, even though I was eager to see the wonderful Neve Campbell who I always enjoy in movies and thought that it could not be horrible, hopefully somewhat entertaining. When a few certain scenes happened I thought that I was in for another cliché-ridden rom-com. Then, this film totally surprised me by doing something different and changing itself into a very well done and likable rom-com with cute performances from everyone. It's not your average run-of-the-mill rom-com and while some of my expectations were reached, in ways, other thoughts I had about this film were left far behind in the dirt and I was dumbfounded at what a fluffy and fun movie it was. It managed to be slightly unpredictable, and while it was not that romantic at all, I found the comedy to be easygoing and it was just a lighthearted film. I was in this movie for Neve Campbell and came out liking something different about each character in the movie. I don't know if this movie is a must see, but if you have even the slightest bit of interest at all in this film, go ahead, watch it. I was pleasantly surprised, pleasantly surprised indeed. It provides some giggles and smiles, and passes the time effectively.
lupinsmoon12391 I was bitterly disappointed with this film. I was expecting to get a deep, meaningful film that made everyone understand the homosexual community a bit more. What I got was a 'funny' film, with no real message. (A couple of positive notes include looking at Matt Perry's bum, as is always fun, and having a character share the same name as me, Amy.) The film starts off as Oscar (Matthew Perry) and his designing partner, Peter (Oliver Platt) prepare to present their renovation design for this building to a big firm. The film gets right to the quick when the man they're being interviewed by, Charles Newman (Dylan McDermott) is placed under the misconception that Oscar is gay. Well, some random strangers I don't even know told me he's gay, so I'll believe them, and better yet, I'll have him trail my girlfriend because all gay guys are cool like that and are excellent at stealth!Only,Oscar isn't. Not that I have a problem with Matt's, how do you say, selection of balanced-challenged characters, I'm just itching to see him stretch those real acting muscles of his (RC Story better be good..errr...). What I'm getting at is that Oscar clumsily saves Charles's girlfriend, Amy (Neve Campbell)'s art piece (that's right, she's a glass blower, but don't fall under the false impression that she'll be a lesbian and it'll just be another 'Chasing Amy'), and she immediately takes a liking to Oscar, as he does to her. Awwww...I will admit that the chemistry between Neve and Matt was extremely enjoyable, as was the expression Matt's face when Charles told him that he knew that Oscar was 'gay'.The whole film, Oscar pretends to be gay, just so that he can keep the big job with Charles, all the while falling in love with Amy, who loves him back. At the end, Oscar makes a speech about being who you really are, and not needing to 'hide in the closet', just summarizing what this film symbolized as I sure as hell didn't see that dark, hidden meaning (silly me! I thought it was just another romantic comedy! Now I feel dumb!). I'm sure that the 'being who you are' message didn't get to the other audience members, either.What else could I possibly say? The two get together in the end. ('Let's get out of here.' 'I'd like that.' What? Hey! They tied that in from the beginning! How sweet!) It's a good film, and will definitely make you smile more than 'Sweet Home Alabama' (I've yet to shower that off me!).Matt's orange hair is sexy, Oliver Platt steals the show (I hope he's not that flamboyant in real life) and Neve is the embodiment of adorable. And Dylan? I think he was played by a cardboard man half the time, actually... I should check on that.4, because it was predictable and silly, with no real meaning, but I still smile every time I see a chicken. Rent it. It's cute, but it won't wake anyone from a coma.
Mizz-Helena This movie is one of the best of all comedys. I loved it, and laughed a lot. Matthew Perry is more funny in this than he is in Friends. I loved it when he wasn't agree at being a gay and when everybody believed he was. He couldn't say anything against it because he was too embarrassed. I hated Dylan McDermot in this movie, but he was some kind of funny to, just thought he had chance to get all he wanted, when he didn't it. Neve Camphell was also great in this movie, off course she is beautiful to. She could have played in more comedics to than horror movies like Scream. I like her. give this movie 5 of 6you gotta see this.
T Y The only way you could like this movie is if you're a heterosexual who has remained completely oblivious to the political development of gay people over the last fifty years. You might recall plotlines like this from the Rock Hudson/Doris Day era, because it's the last time they were acceptable. Every conceivable scenario is viewed through the anticipated discomfort of some token oblivious straight viewer. You know, gay people are merely amusing side dishes in the lives of heteros. Every gag reinforces that distaste is the unquestionable, correct response to gay people. I fast-forwarded through much of it, but something tells me that even the assinine "drop the soap" joke that straight guys have been laughing at for 4 decades (!), makes an appearance. Check the expiration date on these jokes, guys!I guess the only conceivable worse way for an overexposed sitcom star to step into movies might be to star opposite a monkey (Matt LeBlanc). This movie is also an insult to Chicago which is infinitely more modern/accepting of gay people than this tripe suggests. Everyone associated with this project should be sent by rocket into the sun.Laugh, giggle & stay completely mired in your subjective, mindless understanding of human sexuality. You'll probably really enjoy Amos 'n' Andy too.
