A contemporary romantic comedy about the universal quest for that one true love. Awwww … how sweet. All Over the Guy is mah kind of movie … finding love and getting it in the … uh … end. Ahem. Decently filmed and acted though there are a few slow spots and the movie lacks a true hard … uh … edge. Yeah. Everybody’s just so damned sweet. You there! Boy! Why’s my martini glass empty?

Opposites attract in this romantic comedy about two very different gay men and their search for true love. Eli (Dan Bucatinsky, who wrote the screenplay based on his stage production) is a cute, neurotic X-Files addict whose favorite film is Gone With the Wind. When his straight best friend and next-door neighbor Brett (Adam Goldberg) falls in love with Jackie (Sasha Alexander), Eli is set up with Jackie’s hunky best friend, Tom (Richard Ruccolo.) From their disastrous first date and a tentative romance, Tom and Eli try to get close but are often foiled by their own insecurities. The film flips back and forth between Eli and Tom recounting their relationship to strangers, each trying to believe that they are “all over the guy.” Director Julie Davis coaxes wonderful performances out of her attractive cast, and Bucatinsky’s witty screenplay features some great, fast-talking dialogue. Christina Ricci and Lisa Kudrow contribute memorable cameos, as well as Andrea Martin as Eli’s overbearing mother. Romantic, funny and even sexy!
