Cliched storyline overcome by great acting and dialogue
26 May 2001
Another in the welcome trend of gay-themed romantic comedies, although the genre, gay or straight, rarely has anything new to offer. This movie is another contrived and cliched-ending fluff piece but it succeeds better than most with great supporting acting and snappy, one-liner filled dialogue. The two main actors are good, especially Richard Ruccolo from "Two Guys and a Girl", but the standout performance comes from Sasha Alexander as the "best friend". Rarely have I seen a more sparkling, scene-stealing face and performance than this...she's as natural an actress as one could hope to cast in their film. The dialogue comes a little too fast at times...your laughing and Adam Goldberg's much too fast delivery covers much of the terrific script, but the movie is worth your ticket price for the large cameo performances by Lisa Kudrow and especially Doris Roberts as the STD clinic receptionist. Hearing one of our best comedic stateswomen unload a barage of 4 letter words has never been funnier, and many have tried and failed.
