Wonderfully Entertaining, witty and fun movie :), Jan 31 2007
This review is from: Kiss Me, Guido (Widescreen) (DVD)
Okay - probably lots of stereotypes here, but who cares - this adds to this films charm. Situation familiar from other films, but again, doesn't matter - all characters are wonderful in their own way and gawd - but don't I know some of the italian-jock types! I thoroughly enjoyed this film - definitely recommend it. Do yourself a favour and part with the $ and enjoy this flick over and over - sit back and enjoy a fun and wonderfully entertaining movie. :)

A lot of people don't really know of this movie. It's not a movie for everyone and it may not be the best gay movie but I sure loved it. I couldn't stop laughing because of the characters' personalities. The land lord Meryl is one of my favorites and Tony's brother is someone you love to hate. God, just give this movie a chance. It's worth at least one time of watching.

Not the Best Gay Movie, April 23 2004
This review is from: Kiss Me, Guido (Widescreen) (DVD)
Frankie is a slightly dense Italian working in a New York pizzeria while dreaming of becoming a famous actor. When he discovers his brother screwing his girlfriend, he impulsively decides to leave the family business and pursue his dream. He finds an ad in the newspaper for a GWM seeking a roommate. Frankie assumes GWM stands for "guy with money" and moves in with no questions asked. It doesn't take long for even the dim-witted Frankie to realize that his new roomie Warren is gay. The homophobic Frankie is horrified and wants to move out, but can't afford to find another place, so the two must learn to overcome their differences and get along. Can they pull it off? And could they possibly even become friends in the process? This movie is based on so many stereotypes and rather flimsy plot premises, that I don't really know where to start. Italians and gays are both parodied in a well-meaning if unremarkable script. It's not a horrible movie; it's just not a particularly good one either. Interestingly, CBS tried to turn this movie into a sitcom called "Some of My Best Friends" starring Jason Batemen as Warren, but a weak movie idea makes an even weaker TV show, and it quickly flopped.
