TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
gavin6942 A gay couple are hit men for the mafia.This is your standard comedy of twists, turns and mistaken identity. The twist here is that the main characters are gay, but their parents do not know... that they are mob hit men. It is pretty good, and this simple plot device gets carried on for quite a while successfully.The strength of this film is in its approach to "gay themes". Obviously it relies on stereotypes, but I think that it handles them in a tasteful manner that is not derogatory or insulting to the LGBT community. The very fact so many openly gay people were involved gives it a certain stamp of approval.There is less emphasis on the mob parts, so if you are looking for a Mafia comedy, this might not necessarily be your thing. It is good, it is funny, but the Mafia is really not as central as it first appears.
gazebo This movie is very, very lightweight. It's like cotton candy, really sweet going down and afterwords you realize you've just eaten, like nothing!I liked this movie because it was lively, charming and it showed how pretty New York City can be. I'm also a sucker for beautiful men, and boy, is Greg Lauren a real hottie! I watched the movie two times because of this extremely, extremely, handsome actor!I won't go into the plot, I think most of you viewers already know what the plot is. The plot is very funny and the actors are great! There is this one actor, who is a regular on the TV show "Frasier" who is such a standout here! He alone is worth renting and watching this movie! This guy was hilarious training all these mafia tough guys to act like gay waiters! The scenes where the mobsters are learning how to act gay are incredibly funny! The only thing I have to complain about the movie is that it does not show Steven and Danny being physical with each other. They never kiss in this movie and only hold hands once. But what does come across is Danny and Steven's obvious affection for each other. This is a couple who is very in love and very content with each other. Towards the end of the movie, there is a sweet little dialogue between Steven and Danny. I was so hoping they could at least have one final kiss before the movie was over, but that didn't happen.This movie is a really nice movie to rent if you are in the mood for comedy, sweetness and lightness!And definitely if you want to see two very sexy looking men in tuxedos!I give this movie a C+!
btx I watched this flick the other night with my roommate (he picked it out; I didn't), and it was unbelievably bad. We both agreed it was one of the worst movies we'd ever seen. The jokes, about mothers, midwesterners, mafioso, et. al., are hideous and lame. The characters are all horrible cliches. The plot marches on in a ludicrous fashion that really grates on the nerves. Cuts between scenes that are meant to subtly emphasize the irony of the situation only reveal the insipid obviousness of the plot. On top of it all, the over-the-top, hammy acting reinforces so many stupid stereotypes that you wind up wanting to yell at the screen. Despite this, my roommate and I resolved to finish the movie. Don't ask me why -- perhaps we were hoping for a sex scene that never happened.
aangoli I am sorry to say, but the acting of the two gay guys was quite bad. The story itself seems not to lead anywhere. The scene of the party, when the soldiers come in action is very pathetic.
