Editorial Review:
Raucously funny and sweetly romantic, Adam & Steve is a twisted, tender comedy that would surely make John Waters cackle with glee (L.A. Weekly). In the 1980s, Adam (writer/director Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets, TV s Caroline in the City ) had a horrifically embarrassing one night stand. When they meet again years later, they fail to recognize each other and fall in love as do their wisecracking best friends (Parker Posey, Superman Returns, Best in Show and Chris Kattan, TV s Saturday Night Live ). Honest, irreverent and a whole lot of fun, Adam & Steve is all about making love work whatever the odds.
Adam & Steve (2005) Reviews:
Adam and Steve 
2009-04-19 - I have watched this movie many times and just love it. It is a great example of a heartfelt story of two men not sure of one another or whether the other person is the right one for them. A very tender, emotional, and funny movie. I highly recommend it, especially to the gay community.
sweet and funny 
2009-04-10 - Okay, so it's a romantic comedy. Maybe it's not supposed to be real all the time. But I found some scenes unbelievable (the Western dance-off, Rhonda's rant to Steve in his open "office," Steve's strong-arming the homophobe neighbor, to name three) and that bothered me enough not to give it five stars.
And though Adam's "luck-challenged" family was also unbelievable, I thought it the funniest part of the movie - laugh-out-loud funny several times. And some of the throw-away one-liners were hilarious.
Otherwise, it was sweet. I cared about Adam and Steve and really wanted them to get together. Yes, the plot was formulaic, and you knew that they would be happy at the end, but getting to the ending was fun.
Craig Chester's elastic face and goofy demeanor were endearing. Parker Posey is always good in whatever she's in. Chris Kattan was actually funny rather than annoying. And Malcolm Gets is easy on the eye and quite effective in the final scenes. Julie Haggerty, Meldina Dillon, and Sally Kirkland offer good support.
I've watched it several times, and it keeps entertaining.
Funny and Touching
2009-01-07 - Adam and Steve is a funny and touching film. There's a great chemistry between Craig Chester and Malcolm Gets, and the supporting cast is strong. I rented this movie a few months ago and loved it so much I ordered right after seeing it. Some may find the first 10 minutes or so a "little over the top", but at the end everyone will be endeared to this sweet film.
It thought it was supposed to be Funny? 
2008-08-11 - This Film was not funny, It bored me and it just really was a waste of time. Not worth getting unless you have trouble sleeping...then get this movie, it will put you to sleep faster than any sleeping pill.
Almost awful 
2008-07-04 - There was something quirky about this movie at first, even after the initial nightmarish beginning scene, but soon it faded to a cartoon version of itself, particularly Adam's family. What was that all about? It turned a mediocre film into a just plain bad film. There were a couple of giggles mixed with the groans, but I'd pass on this one.
