ADAM & STEVE
Available from 8th August 2006

SYNOPSIS

From Funny Boy Films, the producers of Latter Days, comes this bright, raunchy and
incredibly romantic comedy about two men who are destined for each other.

REVIEW

Queer bon vivant Craig Chester makes his directorial debut with this raucous and candy-
colored romantic comedy about the pitfalls of falling in love in New York City. Flashback to
1987 at the Limelight disco, where shoulder pads and acid-washed jeans reign supreme.
Goth guy Adam (Chester) with his obese gal pal Rhonda (a hilarious Parker Posey) meet
Steve (Malcolm Gets), a glam rock dancer. Instantly attracted to each other, Adam takes
Steve home but after several bumps of coke laced with baby laxatives, their date comes to
a comically explosive end.

Fast forward to 2005 and as mischievous fate would have it, Adam and Steve encounter
each other again, blissfully unaware that they had previously met. (The evolution of
fashion can do wonders!) As the two men begin courting each other with the support of
the newly svelte Rhonda and Steve's straight roommate (Chris Kattan of "Saturday Night
Live") little clues begin to pop up that maybe Adam and Steve might have initially met
under less than perfect circumstances.

Chester and Gets, both openly gay actors, provide an authentic and appealing spin to the
"boy meets boy" film genre in queer cinema. Supported by a strong cast (Posey and Kattan
shine as opposites who could fall for each other), fantastic appearances from Julie Hagerty,
Sally Kirkland and Jackie Beat, and a toe-tapping country western musical number, Adam &
Steve delivers laugh-out-loud sight gags and witty one-liners - yet it also has just the right
amount of heart to touch the romantic in all of us.

Editors note

This film has mixed reviews - mostly not too kind from awkwardly directed to high
school stage ability on the part of the actors who, I believe, are both openly gay.

I happened to laugh a few times in the movie ( I am juvenile enough to find toilet
humour has me sniggering so an unexpected bowel movement at a tender moment was
both gross but embarrassingly humerous) and therefore feel good about it but would
suggest that it is wholly carried by the principal actors rather than the direction or
screenplay.
