"Oh, I hate that movie!" The outburst of contempt the characters feel toward the cliches of In and Out announces All Over the Guy as a gay romantic comedy with a difference. That difference, apparently, is that gay men can suffer the same neurotic commitment problems and kooky conflicts on the way to true love as straight couples. Prissy control freak Dan Bucatinsky (who also scripted) and macho alcoholic Richard Ruccolo recover from a train wreck of a blind date to find common ground in traumatic childhood stories, and spend the rest of the film breaking up between smart remarks. There's a snap to Bucatinsky's dialogue and an entertaining lilt to Julie Davis's direction, but the characters never become more than caricatures. Token straight couple Sasha Alexander and Adam Goldberg are far more fun, and Christina Ricci and Lisa Kudrow make memorable cameos. --Sean Axmaker

 Honest relationship May 2, 2009
Thomas Janowski (Rochester, NY United States)
Not sure I've seen such an accurate portrayal of a gay relationship. There were no easy answers in this film.
Both Tom and Eli arrived with plenty of baggage. Both gave it the old college try and yet, doubts remained. Yet, they still both tried. Thought a bit unusual to work through issues before the relationship actually starts, I have lived through many similar circumstances.
It was hard to tell if this film was low budget or not. The quality of the film and the acting skills were first rate.
I've rented this film twice already and I'm ready to buy it.

I have always been a sucker for a good romance, and All Over the Guy was no exception. Very sweet and funny.

Calen Crate (Melbourne, Florida)
Great script, great actors, great movie! I loved it. It was so funny, yet serious when it needed to be. I wish they made more gay movies like this!
Really good movie July 29, 2008
Calamity Jane (MA, USA)
Everything about this movie is very well done. The writing is terrific as well as the acting. It's funny and romantic...money well spent!
Perfect Little Film June 12, 2008
Rodney C (Ky)
"All Over the Guy" is a great film that is funny, sweet, and lightly romantic. Although clearly low budget, the film rarely looks cheap. Dan Bucatinsky is wonderful in a film that he both wrote and stars in. In fact the entire cast (including inspired cameos by Christina Ricci and Lisa Kudrow) is superb - especially the amazing Sasha Alexander. Andrea martin steals every scene she is in! The performances are great all around and you find yourself rooting for the characters to live happily ever after. The dialogue is quirky and fun and probably is more idealized than that of real life, but wonderfully witty. Many scenes are lightly scored by a tender and touching soundtrack. An amazing little film that breaks the "rule" that all gay-themed movies are bad.
