Two points each for Randy Harrison and Michael Urie who are cute as hell and somehow invest their stereotypical gay characters with a degree of conviction that this movie in no way deserves. If one were being generous one might say that Such Good People is a well-intentioned homage to the screwball comedy. It has stashes of hidden money, kidnapped dogs, priceless antiques, inept hit men, befuddled cops and all manner of laborious misunderstandings and double deceptions. Sadly, none of it is quite smart enough or quite funny enough to warrant any suspension of disbelief. So the madcap antics never cease to seem contrived and unbelievable, and the plot never really gathers momentum and generates its own crazed logic, as a screwball comedy should. But, hey, as gay screwball comedies go, it's at least a worthy effort.
