Summary: The best gay-themed movie I've ever seen
Review: It's a wonderful mixture of humor and pathos. This is the best gay-themed movie I've ever seen. It's wonderfully produced for a movie shot on a shoe-string budget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really good
Review: It's nice to see a movie about gay guys without it being about HIV or drug use or getting laid or homophobia. 'I Think I Do' is really more like a daytime soap opera. It even has two soap opera stars from 'One Life To Live' playing parts in it. The acting is really well done for this light hearted comedy and the jokes are, at times, very funny. This type of screw ball comedy is something that would make millions in theaters if it were about a man and a woman but since it's about two guys it gets second rate treatment which is sad.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A perfect 70 minute movie; too bad it's 90 minutes
Review: Let me just say up front that I highly recommend this movie. If I could give 6 stars to the first 70 minutes I would. I felt as if I knew most of these characters and I totally identified with Bob as a college senior who lusts after his supposedly straight roommate, Brendan. They are typical buds who drink too much with their circle of friends and use every calendar date as an excuse to party. One night while wrestling around and giving each other wedgies they stop for a moment and look into each others eyes. Brendan suddenly realizes Bob wants him. Nothing happens. Then on Valentines Day during a big party the booze is flowing and so is the truth. Bob comes out to his female friends and confesses his feelings for Brendan to them. Later at the party the two friends are again wrestling around when Bob grabs Brendans butt. Was he just going for another wedgie? No matter, Brendan punches Bob and Bob walks away humiliated.
Flash forward 5 years. Two of their college friends are getting married. Bob is the Best Man or Maid of Honor or something. He is now a successful Soap Opera writer and his date for the wedding is his boyfriend, Soap actor Sterling played by real soap hunk, Tuc Watkins who is both macho and a little fussy. Sterling is ready to commit to Bob but Bob seems reluctant. Bob finds out that Brendan is coming and is nervous about their reunion, but Brendan seems even more nervous bringing with him a not-so-secret surprise of his own. The wedding is funny and full of soap opera coincidences that lead to Bob and Brendan spending the night together. That's when the movie goes a little awry. It transforms from a reality based comedy into a screwball sitcom where people faint when the truths are revealed. I have other objections to the way the story progressed but can't go into them without revealing the ending. Many who have reviewed this movie liked the "Happy" ending but frankly, I would have preferred to see two different people end up together. I can say no more except that in spite of my problems with the ending, this is a superior gay-themed movie with excellent performances and a surprise bonus: a Partridge Family laden soundtrack. Gotta love that!!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A real gem
Review: Movies about people aren't made that much anymore. Movies about gay people aren't made that well or are few and far between. Usually we are the comic relief or the wacky sidekick but there is more to movies and being gay and this movie represents this. I really wish this would come out on DVD so more people could see it and own it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kind of like "The Philadelphia Story" only boy+boy rules
Review: Not really a gay film, I think - though there's much to appeal to us there. Above all things this is a romantic comedy of the intelligent kind, filled with superbly fun dialogue and purpose-filled retro soundtrack. The cast was a very agreeable surprise to me - they are all so good! (and Powers That Be - so unused in mainstream projects)
Definitely a feel-good movie & most certainly a major one ever to be made out of minor-to-medium resources.
Also - thanks for getting me hooked on your Particular soundtrack...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Movie
Review: Ok guys and Girls. This movie was great. Don't care what anyone else says. The movie is fun and holds yours interest all the way through the movie. Bob is just plan fun and Brandon, WOOF. The movie will have you laughing out loud. The parents of the bride are just a hoot. If I was you I run, not walk and get this movie. I have it on VHS and DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If they only made more gay themed movies like this!
Review: One of the best "gay" movies I have ever seen. While the main character is gay and the plot revolves around his unfulfilled romance with his college room-mate the rest of the characters treat his homosexuality as if it is nothing out of the ordinary. It is really an inspired romantic situation comedy. Just a wholelotta fun movie. If you don't love you're warped!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: well done fluff
Review: Over the summer, the two fluffiest films I saw were this and Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. In this case they got it right. The jokes are funny (especially the few in-jokes for DC area residents), the situations absurd, and the romance at the center truly touching. The "hunky" actor playing the hearthob is gorgeous (just what you want for fluff) and the rest of the cast interacts wonderfully. It will remind you of 40's romantic comedy, only here the gay content is center stage and not coded. As a college age gay male getting pretty tired of seeing 101 straight romantic comedies come out every year, this was a perfect antidote. A really nice gay flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extremely charming!
Review: The film is a brilliant effort by Brian Sloan: rarely has there been such a mixture between over-the-top fun, and reality. It pits you in a quasi real world of the characters, all played brilliantly by the cast. Especially worth noting is Tuc Watkins: his efforts were universally praised.

For those who can't afford the rental price of the video should probably try and purchase the British DVD version of the film (Region 2).
