Summary: Realistic, well-done, and feel-good.
Review: This movie was absolutely fantastic! I don't generally watch movies more than once (I know what happens already, why bother?). This movie however, I have seen 4 times this week and am making my friends watch. The movie was wonderfully dysfunctional, and contained some excellent linguistic swordplay. The movie brought back memories of my own relationships, friends, and parents, and showed an excellent, realistic, resolution. Finally a gay-themed movie that can be appreciated by everyone! It's solidly made, with none of the corny dialogue, or morbid AIDS tales of many movies. This movie just contains the story of relationships, gay and straight. Most importantly, it shows how the gay characters in the film have much in common with their straight friends. I don't think anyone could watch this movie and not come away feeling like they had "been there" before. I'll stop now, but it was great!

Summary: An entertaining romantic comedy
Review: This movie was just a lot of fun to watch. The gay characters give it a twist, but it is really just a lovely movie about romance and people trying to get things right. I thoroughly enjoyed all the performances.

Summary: I was all over this movie-It's A Good Thing!
Review: At first, I was somewhat put off by the put-downs and the slick, all-too-witty repartee between ALL the characters, but as I settled in and the MOVIE settled in, we all found common ground. By the end, I was really moved and enchanted by the terrific writing and the wonderfully understated performances of the three leads. Bucatinsky obviously knows whereof he speaks, and his touching wrap-up is guaranteed to bring tears to anyone who's been there. And you'll know if you've been THERE!

Summary: A real relationship
Review: While this quirky flix won't cure cancer or help put human life on mars, what it does do is paint a somewhat honest portrait of a modern gay relationship. A love story full of bumps and bruises, arguments and friendship. This comedy/drama is for anyone who loved "When Harry Met Sally", but wished they were both men.

Summary: Great movie for anyone's collection
Review: Reading over some of the prior reviews I was hesitant to order the DVD "All Over the Guy" because some of the previous buyers were so against it. After watching it, I wanted to let potential buyers know it was actually a really cute movie. The story was very entertaining and Ruccalo is incredibly sexy. The cameos were numerous including Christina Ricci, Lisa Kudrow, Doris Roberts, Andrea Martin, etc.... If you liked Broken Hearts Club or I Think I Do, you will enjoy this movie. Very glad I bought it and recommend it highly.

Summary: A romantic comedy...with a twist
Review: "All Over the Guy" is a romance....a story that finds love for two couples, one gay and one straight. Though the story begins with the straight couple's romance and eventual engagement, the majority of the story deals with the budding romance between the gay couple and the emotional baggage that each man brings to the relationship. Richard Ruccolo is good as the ruggedly handsome alcoholic dealing with a lifetime of mental abuse from his alcoholic parents. Andrea Martin is a riot as Tom's (Dan Bucatinksy's character)mother. Doris Robert is good in her small role and the film also contains cameos by Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci, who play's Tom's sister. The dvd doesn't have much in the way of special features but if you like romantic comedy you will enjoy this film.

Summary: Not the best, but Richard Ruccolo is fantastic!
Review: Whenever I buy gay-themed DVDs of the romantic comedy genre, I always tell myself that I'm watching the film to be entertained and not get stressed by the topic. This is exactly my feeling for "All Over The Guy". I must admit that Dan Bucatinsky (Eli) is not my idea of a perfect lead, but hey, he's a perfect foil for the oh-so abrasive character of Richard Ruccolo (Tom). The chemistry was off-center at the start of the film, but they eventually worked their way towards becoming a delightful pair of on-and-off lovers who just couldn't get their relationship off the ground. Richard Ruccolo is a revelation in this movie. He is so natural as a straight-acting gay man without giving any hints that he is uncomfortable performing the rudiments of the role, such as a few kissing scenes with Dan Bucatinsky. The script (written as well by Bucatinsky) is so witty and gay without resorting to excessive melodramatics. The icings on the cake are the cameos of Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci who add some glitz to an otherwise "relatively less popular" cast. Kudos to Doris Roberts who account for wonderful scenes as an AIDS-clinic receptionist.

Summary: A FINELY MADE LITTLE FILM
Review: I wasn't sure what to expect from this title, but I am a fan of the stars and the director, so I was very pleased to view an adult comedy/drama with finely honed performances, crisply directed and with a very effective music score. Richard Ruccolo in particular gives a strong portrayal of a man emotionally scarred by his alcholic parents who struggles to find love and to be able to give love in return. Although a Gay themed film, the story is universal and should appeal to everyone.

Summary: It's a damn good flick!
Review: I think that this movie was well thought out, the actors are awesome.I thought it was done very well and the plot was well worth the wait, it's a cute love story and it just makes ya feel good afterwords.
Christina Ricci doesn't play a big role in the movie, but she's a cute little actress all in all.

Summary: A snuggle up, feel good movie
Review: A wonderful way to spend an evening cuddled on the couch with someone special. It made me smile, it made me laugh and it made me cry. What more could you ask for?? It was simply a good movie. I especially enjoyed seeing two men realistically go through the same struggles and insecurities straight couples often do during that search for Mr. Right and being afraid that they just might find him. Once it goes to a decent retail price, I will definitely be adding it to my video collection. Until then, I may just go rent it again...several times. And...Whitedane, learn to spell. It's Christina Ricci.
