Chester doesn't break any new ground here, yet the film stands out due to an incredible supporting cast that includes Parker Posey, Sally Kirkland, Paul Sand, and Julie Hagerty.

A lighthearted look at gay love, and a far more honest and ultimately more touching exploration of the theme than what we got up on Brokeback Mountain.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 16, 2007

Chester has a good ear for the snappy one-liner and this, plus his obviously hard-earned knowledge of the quirks in the gay mating game, put over his determinedly black romantic comedy.

It tries for cheap laughs, gets a couple of them, and whizzes the rest of them right down its pant leg.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2006

Chester could have used a major rewrite, or at least some serious editing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2006

Chester's script is a series of set pieces that all contain exaggerated characters for comic effect. There are numerous one-liners that hit the mark and the central relationship follows its ups and downs along the lines of a conventional romantic comedy w

Clever, liberatingly silly and sweet.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 12, 2006

A clunky doofus, a comedy of meet-cutes and weak jokes.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | May 12, 2006

I can't think of another film in which the embarrassment over a freak bowel movement impedes the course of love and commitment.

| Original Score: C | May 11, 2006

Adam & Steve does distinguish itself from its fellow gay comedies -- in exactly one way: It's possibly the most low-brow of the lot.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 21, 2006

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.

Full Review | Apr 19, 2006

Pure amateur-hour stuff: a low-budget, poorly written gay movie that revolves around a crude joke and repeatedly delivers embarrassment when it's supposed to be offering humor.

| Original Score: D | Apr 14, 2006

[Chester] and the goofy Gets make a likable comedy team.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 14, 2006

So awkwardly directed by star Chester that its timing and tone are hopelessly uneven.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2006

Plays as urban farce, but thanks to first-time director Chester's light touch and affectionally observant eye and ear, it's also a genuinely affecting love story.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 7, 2006

Material is uneven, but rhythm and pacing keep action moving smartly.

| Apr 7, 2006

The sort of production that could be performed on stage by a high-school student group.

| Original Score: C | Apr 7, 2006

Cheap-looking, amateurishly written, and badly acted...

| Apr 6, 2006

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.
