Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

AyanaH Look, this isn't a terrible film by any means. It has a few comedic and touching moments and if eye candy is your thing then it definitely delivers in that respect. But it offers nothing that anyone, whatever their orientation, hasn't seen before. It's packed to the brim with stereotypes and you see every single one of them coming from a mile away.Blaine - the nice, attractive, intelligent guy next door that no one in over-sexed, superficial L.A seems to want - falls for Xander, the new-in-town country cutie. As with all rom-coms a misunderstanding occurs, in this case Xander thinks that Blaine is really Cameron, Blaine's promiscuous go-go boy roommate, because when they met online there was a mix-up with the pictures, yadda yadda. Instead of doing what both his hag bestie and somehow-smarter-than-the-smartest-guy-in-the-room roommate advise, Blaine decides to pretend to be Cameron when he finally meets Xander in person and thus ensues what's supposed to be a comedy of errors but lacks any of the charm or actual humor of such. Throw in the old queen, complete with tiny toy dog, and the mildly homophobic "you people" boss and that's the film.I can't say what makes this film watchable. It's unremarkable and I'm going to forget it as soon as I post this review. But I suppose the fact that no one truly got on my nerves and I merely wanted to shake some sense into Blaine instead of the more volatile reactions films/characters like this usually stir within me means that it was at least tolerable. It's definitely not the worst of its kind out there.

hjames-97822 Tread carefully, but I don't think I'm giving anything out here that can be considered a spoiler.It's OK. I watched it on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a nice diversion. Five stars because everyone is making an effort here. It just never quite makes it. Like morning biscuits that didn't bake long enough.The young but inexperienced cast is clearly putting out the effort here. Do any of them have a real future beyond community theater? Probably not. But, as Jack Benny used to say, everyone needs some place to be bad. Well they are not bad. Just not professionals. At least not yet.The real problem here isn't the cast however. Or even the premise of the story. It's the screenplay. It's screen writing 101 at community college. Some of the dialog Rin Tin Tin couldn't bark his way through. Many of the situations (ably described in other reviews) are lame and totally improbable. (An aggravation surcharge for coffee?) Still, not bad if you have nothing else to do.

preppy-3 Gay and handsomely average Blaine (Nicholas Downs) can't even get a date while his hunky roommate Cameron (Adam Huss) has no problem. Then he meets handsome hunky Xander (David Loren) online. They get along but Blaine mistakingly sends Cameron's picture out to Xander instead of his own. He realizes the mistake but instead of immediately telling Xander he asks Cameron to play him. Tiresome "hilarity" commences.I don't want to bash this low-budget gay romance/comedy/drama but I really didn't like it. It wasn't funny at all (I didn't even smile once), the romance didn't work (there was zero sexual chemistry between the actors) and the drama fell flat. There was some nice messages in it about being yourself and going out there and meet people but they were lost. Also the dialogue was pretty poor and the plot could have been resolved easily--but people are constantly doing and saying stupid things. It was far too predictable.The acting does help a little. Downs was charming and convincing as Blaine. The trouble was I had a hard time believing he had trouble getting a date. He's actually a very good-looking guy! He's better looking than Adam Huss who overacts terribly and got on my nerves a lot. However he DOES have a nice body. Loren was incredibly handsome, charming and hunky as Xander. He definitely made the film worth watching. Michelle Laurent was annoying as the obligatory str8 girlfriend of Blaine and Bruce Gray was downright intolerable as Ernie. If you're thinking of watching it for sex or nudity forget it. The closest they get to nudity is Huss in tight shorts and there's no sex at all. The couple of kissing scenes we get are obviously NOT being enjoyed by the actors.So this is worth maybe one viewing for the hot guys and pretty good acting by Downs and Loren...but that's it. I can truthfully only give this a 2.

jerrywarriner I won't repeat the details, which have been provided by other reviewers.It's far too easy and common to dismiss gay films as stereotypical depictions of gay characters and their relations to one another. That's like criticizing Cary Grant's romantic characters as stereotypically heterosexualThe film is populated by gay men who can be found in droves in real life, and the situations are not at all uncommon.Men like Blaine can be romantic, shy, sweet, put off by men who are too aggressive or fearful of rejection.The Camerons of the gay milieu are the opposite: full of themselves, firm in the belief they can "have" anyone and/or sexual athletes.Xander typifies the middle ground. Nevertheless, most men have a combination of attributes and are hard to pigeonhole. I was struck by the first scene in the coffee shop. Blaine is dismissed rudely by the gay man behind the counter. Yet, when Xander asks for the same beverage, because of his looks, the server is effusively friendly and gives him free coffee.I've witnessed or heard of many similar incidents, when waiters, salesmen and others have been neglectful, abrasive or dismissive of customers who don't meet their standards of male pulchritude.I'm not a big fan of gay cinema, but I enjoyed "Is It Just Me?" It's well acted and directed. Good music, too
