Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pacing Is Slow - But Situations Are Funny.
Review: KISS ME GUIDO is one of those off beat movies that has a kick to it. It's funny, it's charming and it has a lot of sass to it. It stars Nick Scotti (Bullet, Detroit Rock City) as a straight Italian lover who thinks an add with GWM in it means 'Guy With Money' instead of what it really means which is 'Gay White Male'.

He then befriends this gay man looking for a roommate to help paying bills played by Anthony Barrile (Sinatra, Hamburger Hill) who has an ex-lover (Played by Craig Chester (Frisk, Bumping Heads) )who has a new boyfriend actor (Played by Christopher Lawford (Exit Wounds, Thirteen Days) ) who is about to put on a play production.

Guido is an actor who has no talent in the people skills area but seems to have a natural affinity for 'gay' acting roles until he realizes he must, and has to, kiss a man. The rest is pure comedy. From the straight laced strict Catholic Italian families of New York to the stereo typical 'Queens' of gay New York City

The movie made me chuckle and chuckle many times. Cleverly directed by Tony Vitale (Very Mean Men, Jungle Juice) the films makes you believe anything is possible. Fun and charming - all the way around. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOT AN OSCAR WINNER, BUT A WHOLE LOTTA FUN!
Review: Let's get some basics out of the way quickly: Is it "politically correct"? No. Is the script Oscar-worthy? No. Is the acting the best you've ever seen? No. Is it fun and entertaining? YES!

Some movies aren't made with Oscar in mind, and this is one of those. It's fun, light-hearted, simplistic, but so very enjoyable. I won't go into plotlines, as other reviewers have already done that. Suffice to say this movie will entertain you and make you smile.

The DVD picture is crisp and clear and the audio is perfect: not too loud, not too soft (there's nothing worse than not being able to hear the dialog only to have the house rattle once the music booms in). The widescreen format really suits this film. The only downside to this DVD release --and a minor one at that-- is the commentary by director Tony Vitale. It's incredibly boring with l-o-n-g moments of silence. There are a couple of interesting tidbits here and there, but nothing deep or earth-shattering. A bit of rehearsal on Tony's part would have helped this tremendously because he sounds bored at times. But I won't judge this feature too harshly since it's not part of the original movie per se.

If you're looking for a pleasant movie to share with friends (gay or hetero), you've found it here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A charming little film
Review: Not terribly original I guess, but very sweet. I like the actors, and I am a sucker for films that depict the many ways that people who would seem to have nothing in common, form deep friendships. The performances are very broadly drawn ( forget subtiley ), but to great affect. I lived in South Philly for a number of years and this film made me feel right at home.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can we all say cliche?
Review: One of the worse gay films I've seen. I'd rather go shopping, and you should too before buying or renting this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun & Cute
Review: Rather funny flick featuring an incredibly good-looking guy from New York City (playing the role of a heterosexual). In searching for a place to live, he comes across a personal ad with the code GWM. Thinking this means "Guy With Money", he moves in. The ensuing tale is cute and funny as the two come to terms living with each other! Plays out the stereotypes fairly well. Mixes, Brooklyn, Broadway and "The Sound of Music" very well. Could have done without the father in the bathroom scene at the theater. By no means the quality or intensity of "Torch Song Trilogy", but a well-done mainstream movie that deals with gays and straights very well. If you liked "Trick" or "The Birdcage", you should enjoy this movie (and vice-versa).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not too funny.
Review: The movies and television have stupidly believed for decades that the public is thrown into convulsive fits of laughter by any characters with heavy New York accents (or Southern accents, etc., etc.) One result of this arrogance is this rather heavy handed look at relations between a not very bright straight guy and a rather uninteresting gay guy, with more than its fair share of ethnic stereotypes thrown in, needlessly adding another dimension of sledgehammer-hits-thumb humor. The characters are too broadly drawn caricatures. Though there are a couple of really funny moments and delicious scenes, in the end I never really cared much about what happened to either Warren or Frankie, I just wanted them off the screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: learning experience
Review: the opening sequence sets tone for what's to come. when the macho italian sees this huge muscle guy kissing another man he gets grossed out, yet when he greets another italian in the same manner it's: no big deal. the movie is just priceless how "gay" and "straight" lifestyles play off each other through the whole movie. a great movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: OH MY GAWD! This is a funny film!
Review: The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission to this hilarious film about misunderstandings and stereotypes. The acting is great and the script is dead on. Rent this film or buy it, because it will make you laugh your head off. "Guy with money" indeed!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hey Kiss This! hehe :-D
Review: This is a fun movie for all! I rented it from the public library, and this is definately one of the films I would purchase on DVD or VHS, since I enjoyed it so much!

You can especially appreciate it if you live in the Brooklyn/Manhattan area of New York City, because Guidos listening to 103.5 KTU are a pure staple of our local society. :)

One thing that's very attractive about this film is a distinct plot conflict between characters, which is eventually resolved at the end of the film, as all characters find that they need and want each other, whether they're the manhating Meryll, the homophobic Frankie, the abused gay lover Warren, or even Pino the player getting in touch with his monogamous side. It wasn't offensive, nor did it insult the viewer's intelligence, as the story kept moving along at a brisk and very interesting pace.

Plenty of laughs for all, particularly if you're from this region and see what lunacy goes on around here. :)
