Film Threat Phil Hall
The idea of a gay version of "American Pie" might not seem too tasty, but Another Gay Movie offers a fabulous surprise in not only matching that rude boy classic's unapologetic rude humor but by establishing its own identity as a genuinely funny and often touching coming of age comedy.

New York Post Lou Lumenick
A fabulous and often hilarious variation on "American Pie" that substitutes quiche, gerbils and various sex toys for apple pie.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Stephens stages Another Gay Movie in a style of low-budget fluorescent overkill, but a handful of the gags are low-down funny.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak
The film, despite the occasional gross-out joke, can't disguise the fact that it's a sweet old sappy -- even dated -- love story. Only Molly Ringwald is missing.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
In his director's statement, filmmaker Todd Stephens proclaims that he wants his latest effort to be "the gayest movie ever made." Damn if he doesn't succeed.

An over-the-top, rollicking, candy-colored raunchfest.

Variety Robert Koehler
This is son-of-John-Waters with most of the grossness but none of the essential anarchism -- silly pop trash set for vid-classic status in gay households.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Writer-director Todd Stephens set out to make the raunchiest gay teen movie ever, which this picture most certainly is, but the result is far more frenetic than funny.

TV Guide Ken Fox
There's a fine line between subversively transgressive and just plain gross, and this coming-of-age-movies parody from Todd Stephens, who wrote and directed the charming and underrated "Gypsy 83," crashes right over it.

Boston Globe Michael Hardy
You get the impression that the cast and crew of Another Gay Movie could have made a genuinely funny film if they weren't obsessed with out-grossing the already gross "American Pie."

Chicago Tribune Sid Smith
Combine the uninhibited raunchiness of John Waters with the gross-out zeal of the Farrelly brothers and you get Another Gay Movie, a parody and comedy more numbingly disgusting than funny.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
Arriving late to the scene, Another Gay Movie coughs up the same awkward gags about coming of age via false starts and sexual humiliation, only the genuine sweetness and camaraderie that made the first "Pie" movie bearable has been replaced by glib self-awareness.

Village Voice R. Emmet Sweeney
Boasting a "Scary Movie" rate of scatalogical jokes-per-minute, it fails to match that franchise's low yield of guffaws.

LA Weekly Tim Grierson
Making a gay film only slightly less intolerable than its straight counterparts isn't much to be proud of.

A rude, rollicking and exceedingly raunchy attempt to turn "American Pie" into "American Quiche."

The word "raunchy" doesn't begin to describe this.

Whether or not it's crucial for the gay community to have its own "Porky's" is a question for the ages; but please, not Another Gay Movie.

A devastating disappointment. Badly acted, amateurishly directed and woefully unfunny.

Larry H. gave it a2:
Another bad gay movie. Why is it so rare to find a good gay movie? This was just plain trashy, gross and unfunny. One critic was right the difference between the gross jokes in this and the gross jokes in John Waters's films is the anarchy that Waters's cast provides. This was just a waste of time. The best scene was the deleted Mink Stole scene. She's brilliant! I would never watch this again, nor recommend it to anyone. Pity too. I really love the director's first film, Edge of Seventeen.

Decepticon Pom gave it a1:
Was looking forward to an unapologetic gay-stoopid com like what the straight mainstream have had for years. But an incomprehensibly poor script carried by phoned-in performances make this the equeervalent of American Pie 5: The Naked Mile, not American Pie 1.

Jon F. gave it a10:
I'm straight and I nearly pissed myself during this film.. I recommend this film to anyone who has a sense of humour (obviously many of the reviewers here don't know humour).

Kierran K. gave it a10:
Excellent film, if you want to laugh your head off this is the film to watch.

Retwe S. gave it a10:
Best movie I've ever seen. Laughed all the time. Loved it!

Steven & John gave it a10:
I gave this movie to my husband for christmas...and we sat down and watched it together. We both loved it....Finally a gay movie that is funny and not scared to show full frontal male nudity. The celebrity cameos were a nice touch...bravo Richard Hatch....and as for the plot line...it is a parody of teen movies...which if you have not noticed....have been very stereotyped and filled with jack-ass, frat-boy type humor. So, knowing this is a gay movie...guess how jack-assish it can be and that is what you'll get.

DA gave it a0:
This is easily the most revolting movie I've ever seen. And it's not because of the gross jokes, but the fact the director offers nothing but an assortment of random scenes of nudity as a substitute for -plot-. And worst he presents them yet as a badge of "freedom" for the gay community. That's appealing to the basest of the viewer's instincts. I wouldn't even rate this as porn, cause at least with porn you know exactely what you're watching...This movie is just a disgrace.
