San Francisco Chronicle Joe Brown
A genuinely affecting love story with something to say about such contemporary obstacles to affection as weird families, hot exes, addictions, anonymous hookups, homophobia, irony, gay two-stepping -- and the difficulty of connecting no matter what gender you go for.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Melissa Levine
Lighthearted and funny, it falters only in the rare moments when it takes itself too seriously.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
It's the most honest, refreshing comedy about love – gay, straight, or both – I've seen in many moons, and at the end everyone's problems are solved by a country-western dance battle with drag doyenne Jackie Beat on the mic.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Often charming and funny, though sometimes quite gross.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
It hits more often than it misses, and the best parts are always the simplest, in which the stars wing it with nothing to go on but their natural chemistry.
Read Full Review >Variety Ronnie Scheib
Gay Gotham farce written, directed and starring veteran actor Craig Chester ("Swoon," "Kiss Me Guido") delivers plenty of well-timed slapstick, a brace of oddball zanies and a couple of show-stopper musical numbers. Material is uneven, but rhythm and pacing keep action moving smartly.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Adam & Steve is uneven, but it's a relief to see a gay romance that isn't about ab-perfect 20-year-olds, and which features lovers played by two long out-of-the-closet actors. Wonder of wonders.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Any professional film editor watching this movie is going to suffer through one moment after another that begs to be ripped from the film and cut up into ukulele picks. Never mind the film editor: A lot of audiences, with all the best will in the world, are going to feel the same way.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Much of Craig Chester's good-hearted love story Adam & Steve is silly and contrived, but the film boasts four engaging actors.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Bobby Hankinson
Not the knee-slapper it wants to be, but it's endearing nonetheless.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Co-stars Parker Posey and Chris Kattan offer minor diversions, but the humor never rises to the quality any New Yorker, regardless of sexual orientation, would expect.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
It wobbles between a conventionally quirky lighthearted goof and an oddball farce in which character is sacrificed for sight gags.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
Strikes an unsatisfying balance between serious romantic texture and outright farce.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Despite the high spirits, most of the comedy is feeble and forced; Steve's career as a therapist seems especially far-fetched.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt
A mostly bland, sporadically crude, by-the-numbers romantic comedy about two gay men in love.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
The gay, independent comedy Adam & Steve is as crude and nonsensical as any number of B-list studio equivalents, with the added disadvantages of a low budget and shaky direction by Craig Chester, who wrote and also stars.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Ultimately Adam & Steve mainly goes to prove that indie gay romantic comedies can be just as witless, vulgar and over the top as their straight, major studio counterparts.

Preston B. gave it a9:
I really enjoyed this movie. The characters are endearing and I found myself giggling throughout the film. Supporting actors Parkey Posey and Chris Kattan steal the show.
Quaid gave it a0:
This movie made me wanna go to a bar and meet some gorgeous women. I think I threw up in my mouth a half dozen times also.
Kevin M. gave it a9:
This movie is hilarious and gives lots of laughs, especially to those of us who remember the 1980s. It's exceptionally light fare for those who aren't looking for Oscar-worthy performances or writing.
Mase gave it a9:
Please go see this movie! It's nice to see a fun, colorful gay movie which is just out to make you laugh (and you will) and feel good. Proves love stories about gay men don't have to be depressing. The supporting cast is amazing, Parker Posey almost walks away with the film. This is a must see for Posey fans. Just shows she is one of the funniest most unique actresses working today. She gets some of the best one liners as the female best friend of are gay male protaginist, i've seen in years. Witty fun and for everyone gay or straight.
