Adam & Steve Reviews
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2006
Clever, liberatingly silly and sweet.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 12, 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
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
Often charming and funny, though sometimes quite gross.

Co-stars Parker Posey and Chris Kattan offer minor diversions, but the humor never rises to the quality any New Yorker, regardless of sexual orientation, would expect.

Much of Craig Chester's good-hearted love story Adam & Steve is silly and contrived, but the film boasts four engaging actors, including Chester.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2006
For every shtick that works, there are two that don't. Adam & Steve is not the knee-slapper it wants to be, but it's endearing nonetheless.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 31, 2006
Adam & Steve strikes an unsatisfying balance between serious romantic texture and outright farce.
| Mar 30, 2006
There is an underlying story here, and some comic ideas, that in the hands of a better director (or more ruthless editor) could have become an entertaining romantic comedy.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 30, 2006
Who said mainstream Hollywood has a monopoly on dumb, gross-out farces? The gay, independent comedy Adam & Steve is as crude and nonsensical as any number of B-list studio equivalents.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 30, 2006
Adam & Steve is a mostly bland, sporadically crude, by-the-numbers romantic comedy about two gay men in love.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 30, 2006
Writer-director Craig Chester's debut is truly enjoyable.
| Mar 28, 2006
Chester cleverly conflates the personal trauma of the titular couple's 18-year-old incontinence nightmare with the national horror of 9/11.
