It is not a surprise to learn that Bucatinsky is developing a sitcom based on this film, because it plays like an overly long pilot.

It may not be totally fresh and original, but All Over the Guy is nearly void of gay stereotypes.

This isn't another one of those annoying gay rights movies -- it just wants to have fun.

I enjoyed the film, two completely different characters meet and work through the many differences in personalities that they have. Doris Robert’s is a gem and provides the comedic relief. Great casting.

This movie was so we'll acted and hysterical. I'm a gay man and they got so many characteristics of my friends. The comedic talent was extraordinary. Don't miss this one.

Thank g-d for cute and committed actors, otherwise this would have been unbearable. Earns it's second star because at least the reason for "assholeness" of the hunky lead is explained - even if a tad over dramatized. And the message isn't lost: You can't always get what you want; but sometimes you get what you need. I wish the writers could have figured out how to say this without the clumsy baggage.

I felt maudlin morose for much of this. I just couln't feel compelled to care about whether they got a relationship going or not.
