wolfbearjc I was pleasantly surprised about this movie. It was not full of gay stereotypes and clichés, in fact at times countered them, and yet I was not feeling sorry for the plight of love lorn gay men. Simply,it was about the struggles of relationships, both gay and straight, and the musings: if you did the right thing on the date, if you said or acted in an off putting manner. It addressed the issues of lack of communication and then brutal honesty, misunderstandings on not being able to commit, fear to communicate honestly of what is expected and needed out of relationship. The movie portrays the hard road of getting to know if you have the chemistry, friendship, sex appeal,sex, etc that all can make or break the fragile act of getting to know another. The acting was amazing. The camera angles captured the expressions of all the characters and their emotions of angst, anger, fear, joy, relief, trust, revelation. In the opening scenes of a first date the fear in the eyes of one of the characters was visceral. The use of colors; rust browns and blues, in clothing, sets, in various hues and exposures contributed to beauty and intimacy. The use of apartment walls and windows to follow the characters was neat and creative. So this isn't any longer, I just love the actors, the story, and camera work. It made it to my very picky "own" movie library. It is one of the best romantic comedies I have watched.

michael_hill Okay what can I say I relate to this movie. Sweet neurotic nice guy meets damaged bad boy. And guy gets guy at the end. My heart swoons. I am a big goofy romantic what can I say. Finally a movie where the gay characters are not the best friend or stylish confidant to the lovelorn female character.The cast it perfect. Good performances by everyone in the cast.Only regret is that is would have been nice for the stripper to have been interested in Eli rather than Tom. I would really have liked Tom to have been jealous and seen that Eli is just as hot in his own neurotic way.

NYCdazzle Congrats Dan. This movie was so much better than "Brokeback". Just caught it on HBO and it made me sad that i never heard of this movie but could not get away from Brokeback which was only popular because of our obsession with hunky straight male celebrity representing us. What was the big revolution with "Brokeback"? It was just another tired Hollywood love story. The characters in "All over the Guy" were masculine, funny, complex and more realistic. And no one is mentioning how the "Brokeback" movie had the lead character murdered, just like gay films have been doing since the beginning. check it out. I have never written into one of these before but had to applaud the film for out shinning the BB crap that has stolen way to much praise this past year. Pewy

sdboy92116 I really loved this movie! I just loved the way the characters Tom and Eli interacted together as well as the way their friends worked to set them up. I could really relate to the frustration and, at times anger, that Eli was going through trying to figure out the mixed messages that Tom was sending him. It was great seeing one of the characters who was having problems coming to terms with his own wish/need for lasting love grapple with his demons and finally allow himself to reach out and touch some real happiness. At the end of the movie I was in tears. This movie has it all: comedy, tragedy, and a heart-wrenching resolution. Every gay person and and their straight friend(s) should see this movie!
