Summary: Ok, romantics- Dawson didn't get Joey, but Bob gets Brendan!
Review: I originally saw this movie in the theatre and have both the VHS and DVD. As many times as I have watched this flick, I have never gotten tired of it. The film makes me laugh and cry as much the 100th time as it did on my first viewing. If Brian Sloan can do this incredible a production on this lower-budgeted film, I can't wait to see what he can create when the "bank vaults are open." Mr. Sloan stated a very perceptive insight about the making of this film. If I can paraphrase a bit it is that gay and straight people cannot be seperated. They are intertwined together in our society.The film introduces us to a group of college friends (gay, straight, and closeted) during their senior year at Georgetown University and then jump-forwards five years later to their reunion at one of the couple's wedding. The plot is already described in many of the reviews on line already. Suffice to say the interwoven themes are about unrequited love, friendship, loyalty, honestly, and finding one's self-idenity and place in the word. The casting- PERFECT!- from the six main characters to all the supporting actors and actresses in this movie. The chemistry created by this ensemble is rarely matched or equaled in films today. My two favorite characters in the film? Carol and Brendan. Carol, the bride, gets all the good lines! Her facial and body language in her delivery only adds to my enjoyment and laughter. Brendan delivers one of the consistent and enjoyable roles from making me laugh to making me cry. The final scene with Brendan (and Bob) at the train station has me in tears everytime. Bravo Christian and Lauren! The script is border-line genius in so many of the lines- serious and funny. To top it all off is having the Partridge Family songs, which at times almost seem like they were made for this movie, pop in and out during the film. This film is why we all go to the movies... to laugh, have fun, and maybe walk away a better person having taken away a lesson(s) about life philosophies. A VERY enjoyable film from beginning to end that won't disappoint. I promise!

Summary: ¿What is it about this movie?
Review: I saw this in the theatre a couple of years ago and haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I don't know what it is about it that was so good. Yes it was funny, the people seemed real and the acting was good. But I have seen a number of movies with all of these characteristics yet this one has just stayed with me. I am glad to see it is finally available to buy.

Summary: gay comedy at it's BEST!!!!
Review: I saw this movie with friends a year ago and I've been waiting for it on video ever since. Lauren Velez proves that as a comedic actress she has no peer. And Alexis Arquette is wonderful as the ugly duckling turned sex symbol. A FINE EXAMPLE OF GAY CINEMA. THANK YOU.

Summary: Great film, more of this type needed
Review: I've just watched this film, ok, 6 times as i write this, but it's great. the characters are fab, the story is warm, it's a great feel good, movie. The acting is great. Brandons coming out was the best thing i've seen in a long time. I laughed and cried all the way through the film. Hope it's not too long before we see part 2. I'm rushing out to buy it.

Summary: Out & About
Review: If every generation is doomed to suffer its own BIG CHILL, gay 20-somethings could do a lot worse than director Brian Sloane's frothy romantic comedy. A tight-knit circle of college friends reunite in Washington, DC, for the wedding of Carol (Lauren Valez) and Matt (Jamie Harrold). Bob (Alexis Arquette), whose miserable senior year was spent nursing an unrequited love for apparently straight best friend Brendan (Christian Maelen), is now a successful soap-opera writer and arrives on the arm of soap dish Sterling Scott (Tuc Watkins). Bob and Sterling are even considering a ceremony of their own, until the unexpected arrival of Brendan, who's not nearly as straight as he once thought he was. For all its modest trappings, this awfully ambitious little film occasionally suffers from wanting to be too many things at once. It's not really a screwball comedy, and Sloan disrupts his own natural, breezy vibe when he tries to cut and paste screwball motifs into the action. Nor is it truly an ensemble piece: It's Bob and Brendan's show, and secondary characters who clock a lot of a screen time remain underdeveloped. But even when the movie stumbles, some very sharp writing, a snappy Partridge Family soundtrack and the fresh cast of newcomers -- Watkins and Maddie Corman, who plays Bob's pal Beth, are particularly good -- provide enough bounce to get it back on its feet.

Summary: Laugh, cry and believe in true love!
Review: If you've ever had an unrequited love, then this movie is for you! You'll laugh and cry at the same time. There is a character for everyone to relate to in this movie. The ending leaves you feeling good about life.

Summary: Well-Paced Romantic Fun--A Gem!
Review: In "I Think I Do," a group of college friends (Bob, Brendan, Eric, Beth, Sarah, Matt and Carol) reunites a few years after graduation to celebrate the wedding of two members of the group, Matt and Carol. But complications abound: 1) Matt and Carol aren't getting along so well.
2) Beth, who has long lusted for Eric, is hoping for a second shot.
3) Sarah, who pursued Brendan back in college, is ready to close the deal.
4) Bob, who also pursued Brendan, but is now in a relationship with soap star Sterling, is nervous about seeing Brendan again.
5) And Brendan....well, what about Brendan? And thus the fun begins. Unlike way too many low-budget gay films, director Brian Sloan's "I Think I Do" is well-written, acted and directed. I was especially impressed with the pacing. No pointless lingering or extended explanations here! The characters interact, we barely get the information we want, and we're on to the next scene, wanting more. A tip: watch the film a second time. You'll pick up more with a repeat viewing. So here's the bottom line: if your idea of fun is a clever, well-paced gay romantic comedy-and you don't mind the occasional minor technical distractions of a fairly low-budget film-then definitely check out "I Think I Do." I Think...it's easily one of the best gay comedies, romantic or otherwise, ever made.

Summary: WARM AND FUNNY MOVIE
Review: In the following review, I'm not going to tell the plot of this wonderful, warm movie because almost everyone else on this board has told highlights of the plot. However I'm going to tell you what this fillm means to me on a personal level.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a movie I view when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm depressed, when I'm discontented,, when I'm contented when I'm grumpy, when I'm feeling older than god, etc.--in other words, no matter what state of mind I'm in, this movie makes me feel better, happier and yes, even younger. (By the way, I'm a whole lot older than the characters in the movie.) I really can't say how many time I've viewed "I Think I Do" it must be, going on, at least, a hundred times. I love all of the characters. It's just an integral part of my life. In the course of a day, I'm forever thinking of some line from the film that I particularly like and find amusing (e.g., "Advil and sleep" "Oh Bob, I'm scared, you've been writing for that soap-opera too long" "So making out in the bathroom is what you call romantic? It would've been if you hadn't been moving around so much" "your ex-father will arrive at..." "Whatever you say, pokey-bear" etc. You'll have to see the movie to be able to relate and find out what context those quotes are in, and I'm sure you'll find your own funny lines to remember.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants a little romance, warmth and/or fantasy in his/her life (or just to feel good) by getting acquainted with a lovable group of wonderful friends where gay and straight get along and care about each other no matter what his/her respective sexual orientation happens to be. To me the group of characters in "I Think I Do" are every bit as funny (if not funnier) as the characters on the television sit-com "Friends"; however, the characters in the film are far more diverse--ethnically and sexually. One thing for sure, they handle the gay issue far better than the television group does. No one is "put-down" for being gay or appearing to be gay--no cheap shots at gay people.
Each actor is wonderful in his or her role being far funnier and likeable than any of the actors in the above-mentioned sit-com. The stand-out is Guilermo Diaz (he also starred in "Stonewall") as Eric. The actress that plays Beth is also one of my favorites. Frankly, I like them all!! I just wish, in my youth, I had a group of friends like those portrayed in this movie. Maybe I'm reliving my youth a little (or at least a fantasy thereof), by repeated viewings of this film.
The critics felt this movie was a 1990's version of a 1930's slapstick romantic comedy where "boy gets girl"; however, in this movie "boy gets boy". The gay romance is interwoven seamlessly into the fabric of the film occurring at the same time as a heterosexual wedding. It makes for a wonderful, delightful fun-filled romp of fun and laughter.
