All Over The Guy

Description

Product Description CENTERS ON AN UNLIKELY PAID OF TWO TWENTY-SOMETHINGS, ELI AND TOM, WHO ARE THROWN TOGETHER BY THEIR RESPECTIVE BEST FRIENDS. THEY'RE BOTH LOOKING FOR THE ONE, BUT DON'T RECOGNIZE IT WHEN THEY FIND IT. THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO NOT FALL FOR EACH OTHER, STUMBLING OVER THERE OWN FEARS, AND SELF-SABOTAGE. .com "Oh, I hate that movie!" The outburst of contempt the characters feel toward the clichés 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
