      steve h Having seen a few stage productions of this story, I was convinced it was one of those plays like "The Importance of Being Earnest", which is to say, even a bad production would be great entertainment. WRONG! Steve Guttenberg's little vanity project has sucked all the life out of it and made it boring, boring, boring, and, apparently heterosexual. The only thing that could save it now would be a remake by someone with a clue, like John Cameron Mitchell. Or Ed Wood. ANYBODY. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Having read the late James Kirkwood's play and having seen a production of it, I wanted to like this movie. The acting and direction are good enough. Alterations Gutenberg made to Kirkwoods story are the problem. The twist in Kirkwood's play is that the burglar is gay and makes Jimmy question his own sexuality before the night ends. This part of the story was removed from the film. The ending a straight guy and his gay burglar becoming buddies is just plain silly. Perhaps playing gay was too much for Gutenberg. If so, he should never have taken on the part. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Garbage - complete waste of time. Guttenberg is very disappointing and the writing is just horrendous. I understand this was a play before a movie - hopefully the play was better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Randomly funny movie but not quite funny or sharp enough. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The book is absolutely much more better than the movie! It is hard to call the movie as a dark comedy though the book is. At the end I waited him to say that this was the book he wrote but he didn't... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it. This guy who's having a horrible day/life catches a cat bugler and is able to take out some frustration. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Andrew Sarris Observer [The Boys in the Band] is much wittier and funnier than the comparatively frantic and frenzied shouting matches devised by Messrs. Guttenberg, Korn and Kirkwood. Feb 12, 2003 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Remains too much a filmed play. Rated: 2/5 Jan 23, 2003 Full Review Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle It's another world now, which is why Kirkwood's play, adapted to the screen by actor Steve Guttenberg, feels so moldy and out of date. Rated: 1/4 Jan 17, 2003 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Nov 4, 2005 Full Review David Elliott San Diego Union-Tribune Canned theater. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 7, 2003 Full Review Kim Morgan Oregonian In 1975, the idea of a straight man tying up a gay burglar was exotic, darkly humorous and sexually charged. In director/star Steve Guttenberg's new film version, it comes off as no big deal. Mar 7, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
