    Directed by George Bamber from a witty screenplay by David Vernon, it veers between screwball farce and feel-good sitcom.

    Inoffensive even as it makes some fairly explicit sex jokes, "Ethan Green" may not exactly be fabulous, but it is pleasantly diverting.

    The strip is now a cartoonish sitcom pretending to be a romantic comedy about a drama queen and his adventures in lust. The movie might have gotten away with it, were it interested in romance or comedy.

    Tiresome romantic comedy that reinforces every imaginable gay stereotype.

    Fun, funny, frothy. And it happens to be gay! Whudeva. A date movie if there ever were one.

    Just a fun movie. Doesn't try to make any great statements but offers one laugh after another. What more can you ask from a comedy?

    Forget Brokeback Mountain, here is a slice of gay life in which every (white?) gay man should find some personal truth and much humor. While some of the supporting roles are taken to an extreme or heavy on camp, the two main characters have more than one dimension and are well played. Daniel Letterle and David Monahan do a fine job as the earnest humans named Ethan and Leo. The movie is very funny in its broad themes, but also chock full of brief (inside?) jokes that delighted the audience I was in (my favorite being a brief detour to the Moen catalog). Only two complaints: (1) the Hat Sisters: no self-respecting queen would be caught dead in those outfits (2) Ramon De Ocampo as Juarez does for the image of gay Latin men what Hattie McDaniel's roles did for African-American women. It's a shame that his role wasn't written as intelligently and truthfully as that of Punch, the 19 year-old self-declared God. (Oh, and, (3), those German accents were horrific.)… Expand
