All Over the Guy! - Baby,
Ah'm All Over You!
by Tallulah Givehead
 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!
