All Over the Guy (2001)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This film is about the rough and eventful journey of two couples until they find love.One striking thing about this film is the production. The sets, the costumes and the scenes are just like a big budget movie. It is impressive that they got a nice budget for a gay film! Another striking thing is that there are two big mainstream stars in the move: Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci. Lisa Kudrow's role is small and dispensible, which is a pity as it is not everyday that a mainstream star agrees to star in a gay film. Christina Ricci's role is more substantial, but still dispensible. I particularly applaud Ricci because it is not the first time she stars in a gay related film that I watched, the other being The Laramie Project.The plot itself is quite complex, with the main story with two small side plots about the two main characters telling their story to other people. A typical romantic comedy has a join-split-join setting, and yet in this film there are more split and joins that I almost lost track.It is a refreshing film, entertaining and fun. However, it is forgettable and does not leave a big impression in viewers' hearts.

All I want to say about this movie is that thank god a movie with a happy ending. It's refreshing a movie like that, because almost all the gay movies are or stereotyped or tragic.It's a funny comedy about two men quite so different sometimes, but with some nice connection that grows with time - in fact one is the opposite of the other but at the same time not just in this order -really nice actors, nice quotes, fun to watch, to cry. An ordinary story that could be lived by me or you and with not so perfect people, people like us.I hope to see more like this because positive vibrations are never too much.So watch it! and buy it, it deserves to be kept forever.cheers

This movie gets an "excellent" rating from me because there is attention paid to real character development -- great screenplay. Equal attention has been paid to the characters themselves by actors who understand what they're talking about, and who convey that understanding believably -- the honesty is refreshing. One cannot know the extent to which the director was very detailed in getting the performances that she wanted or whether she fundamentally trusted her actors' intelligence to come through; with this cast and with this screenplay, I'd bet the latter. One so wishes for more movies that treat these themes as intelligently and as engagingly as this one does. One grows so weary of wading through movies with cardboard characters, actors, dialogue, and situations. This movie, though, was a pleasure. My thanks to one and all for having given it.

i was reading all the other comments in that web page, i have got to say well different people different views. The movie itself is worth talking about yet it didn't really got the exposure needed. The acting was excellent and i think Richard did a very good job so as all the other casts of the movie. The sex was good but not the main reason why this movie is watchable (is there such a word?) Love is what draws me to the movie. The relationship between the guys and their friends are so similar to my life and i was so glad that at least some people will get to know my life a little bit not that anyone would care to. i love escaping into the movie and this is one i often let myself escape into. They should make more movies like this.
