Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
A majority oriented movie that assumes sophisticated familiarity with a sexual minority.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Berlanti brings a smart, witty, mainstream style to his well-crafted picture, which surely enhances its crossover appeal.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
The strength of the performances, along with the good will generated by these flawed but likable characters, carry the movie through.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
It's the first mainstream gay movie that feels totally comfortable in its shoes.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
A slice-of-life where being gay is a fact of daily existence, not an excuse for existential dilemmas or grand tragedies.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
Funny and friendly and all-inclusive and unremarkable.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
An undemanding and reassuring amiability that made it a crowd-pleaser at Sundance.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Turns out to be a choppily written, unevenly acted exercise, no less shlocky and predictable than any of Hollywood's average second-string heterosexual comedies.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
Emerges as an engaging if occasionally hokey inspirational melodrama about the importance of community in the face of life's disappointments.
Read Full Review >Film.com Ernest Hardy
A constant video rental for a community that aches to see itself as banal and generic.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
It plays like a pilot for what I imagine will be network TV's first all-gay sitcom.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson
Pushes the standard tropes of gay romance movies a few more steps toward full-blown cliché-dom.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
This little serio-comedy contains absolutely nothing that warrants big-screen release. It's lit like TV, acted like TV and staged like TV.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Dennis Lim
Bloated loquaciousness, damp self-absorption, and defensive reflexiveness on display here.

Keith gave it an8:
This is one of those movies that sneaks into your heart in spite of any protesting you might offer. I found some of it clumsily done, especially the big death that happens near the end. I found this completely unnecessary, as if the screenwriter was trying to check off some list of things that must happen in a romantic comedy. The movie succeeds, though, largely because the characters (and actors, too) are so likable and the scenes among them have the chemistry of real friendships. I must admit, I put this movie on often, when I feel like settling into something comforting and with characters who I now regard as my own friends. Nothing earthshattering here, but it is pleasant, funny, big-hearted, and at times, true to life.
Matt M. gave it a 10:
I love this film! I completely disagree with any critics that say this film is worthless TV sit-com material. It has certaintly inspired my group of friends to be who they are, and admit that to themselves. The acting is brilliant (such a star studded cast too!). All in all a fabulous film which re-ignites hope in the face of its viewers. If your gay you CAN connect to this film. Hell you can if your straight! I hope they make a sequal!
Drew L. gave it a 9:
I think this movie was a very good movie b/c it shows the life of real people and thier problems and shows the lifestyle of peole who may be different. The actors were great and put an impact on the gay community and u dont have to be gay to watch the movie, its funny and keeps u waiting and guessing. Overall this is a good movie.
Lolo gave it a 10:
This film is verry funny.
Clint S. gave it a 10:
If it went any higher then 10 it would get a 3 million. I love this movie, and you dont hafta be gay to like it either, its human.
Don D. gave it a 10:
