Affable but clueless Bronx, N.Y., native Frankie (Nick Scotti) is an aspiring actor who moves to Manhattan after discovering his fiancée is sleeping with his brother (Anthony DeSando). Not understanding that the want-ad shorthand "GWM seeks same" means Gay White Male -- he thinks it's Guy With Money -- Frankie moves in with actor Warren (Anthony Barrile). When Warren has to drop out of a role, Frankie is unsure whether he's ready to take over the part, which includes a man-to-man kiss.

Kiss Me, Guido is a movie with a lot of funny one-liners, but no place to go with them. Like a 30-minute sitcom, it acts like you already know all the characters and are just happy to have fresh dialogue. Go to Full Review Jan Stuart The Advocate 04/05/2022
The filmmaker runs afoul not with his primary-color strokes -- intransigence is the soul of good farce -- but rather with the lack of go-for-broke comic prowess that enables you to get away with them. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 12/20/2006

This minor indie farce plays gay and Italian-American stereotypical characters, resulting in a pleasant feel-good movie but no more. Go to Full Review Jake Euker F5 (Wichita, KS) 03/09/2006

07/30/2020 No revelations, and full of stereotypes, but an easy and fun watch to pass the time. See more 07/02/2013 This minor indie farce plays gay and Italian-American stereotypical characters, resulting in a pleasant feel-good movie but no more. See more 09/12/2012 kinda cheesy but i like it See more 04/11/2012 GWM. Guy with money...lol funny movie See more 02/21/2012 I did not enjoy this movie at all, the film makes me feel unease. An independent movie can use some better camera work than this one. The whole film is formulaic and ridiculous, too melodramatic for me. I don't think I laughed during the film at all, it's so dull... The acting was really bad as well, except for De Sando who did a good job at being a stereotypical guido. Nick Scotti is a real eye candy however, but that's the only perk of watching this film. Another con is that the film seems to drag on and on, aiming at no where. Plus the excessive swearing was not pleasing at all. See more 02/24/2011 Interesante historia pero todo lo demás malo. See more Read all reviews
