Adam & Steve (2005)
8/10
A pleasant surprise

Warning: Spoilers
I was fortunate enough to see this film earlier this week at the Tribeca Film Festival. I was expecting something mildly amusing at best, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie is a real scream -- wildly funny, and while some of the humor is raunchy (in particular, an early scene that depicts a one-night stand that ends in embarrassment), the film overall is also rather sweet and sentimental. In addition to a witty script, the film features quite a bit of slapstick, visual humor, and even a big musical production number. Writer/director Craig Chester is Adam, and Malcolm Gets (probably best-known from Caroline in the City) is Steve; both are excellent. Parker Posey is quirky (but then isn't she always?) as Adam's fag hag, and Chris Kattan is annoying (but then isn't he always?) as Steve's straight roommate.
