This direct-to-video clunker about a wealthy, buff, Beverly Hills gay couple suddenly saddled with two abandoned kids to test their mettle as foster parents is so badly acted and written that it's painful to watch. The only actor who doesn't come off as amateurish or awkward/under-rehearsed is Kimberly Scott as the Child Services rep, but the way she just drops these kids into the couple's life is absurd and unbelievable. In fact, I didn't make it all the way through. I'm all for films that show different aspects of how gay men live, though this film still trots out the usual drag queens, etc., and the couple does live a rarified existence. Someday we'll get a good film about gay adoption, but this one isn't it.
of this horrific disaster for wading through what is probably the worst script I've heard this year. The expository writing and heavy-handed directing refuse to allow you to think. The acting is so horrendously stilted (largely due to the truly awful writing)that your skin will crawl... it's not even campy bad. It's just boring bad.
The story throws every passe cliche it can dig up, gay and straight, at your face... and more than once. Let's hope this film is not the harbinger of the death of gay cinema.
I notice a couple of raving user comments... they're phoney. Those users haven't commented on anything else. This user is an avid movie-goer, and not an insider or buddy of the filmmaker. It's just an honest opinion.

I laughed and I cried when I saw this movie. What a great cast, they all blended in perfectly well together. I have seen many, many gay films, but this is the best one that I have ever seen. Kudos to the Director, Max Mitchell, and to the excellent cast.
Thanks for making a remarkable and unforgettable movie.

Get Your Stuff. Two homosexual guys who want to adopt a baby are asked to take care of two pre-teens for their social worker for one night, buttttt!
I found this movie to be very refreshing. The two lead guys were masculine , looked like regular guys and made an believable pair. They were always cuddling and had sex (almost) 2-3 times. Ha Ha. The foster kids did a great job as the two ( almost Mobster Kids ) who bring the story of adoption to a new height . You hate them at first , but grow to like them later. The mother who is an mainliner, and drunk , was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix , Kimberly Scott the probation officer, both did a smash-up job. There were parts for sheer laughter and parts for some tears . But all in all it was a great little flik , that has some serious social problems to work out. Cameron Watson (Phil) and Anthony Paul Meindl (Erik) Are the adopting couple and thru all the confusion have to come to terms with their love and what it entails. Phil is also an love councilor for the gay community , Erik is an lawyer . Hop aboard its' fun , will make you feel good. Sure there are some things that just don' seem right , but heh what movie is perfect...,I give this movie 7/10 ciao yaaah69

What do you get when you mix a successful gay couple with two foster kids from the streets? Well, you could get Get Your Stuff, a cute film about the good times and bad times that might happen if you mix the two mismatched ingredients above. Farce? No, it never reaches that state, but it is frequently funny.
The story is about Phil (Cameron Watson), a couples counselor and Eric (Anthony Meindl), a lawyer. The two want to adopt a baby (mostly it seems from the prodding of Eric's mom), and are just approved to be foster parents in the meantime. Through some coaxing and borderline blackmailing, they agree to take in T.J. and Brian for one night. That becomes one more night and one more and, well, you get the picture.
The kids are actually decent actors and, at times, out-act the adults. T.J. (Grady Hutt) is the optimistic one and tries to get his brother to straighten up so they can have a home. Brian (Blayn Barbosa), on the other hand, is not as accepting and wants nothing to do with Phil and Eric until their case worker, Gloria, talks them into working the couple to make themselves more appealing.
The film deals with all these problems with a light touch -- never wanting to truly offend anyone. So they are played up for laughs; however, the message still gets through. In fact, it takes its toll on Eric who wanted nothing more than a baby and not an entire family of problems and promptly leaves in the film's worst scene that includes Phil screaming and pulling a gun out on his clients and doing the same to Eric as he drives off.
But that type of scene is, thankfully, not the norm. Most of the picture is feel-good and enjoyable. More so when Kimberly Scott is on the screen. She plays Gloria with sass, determination and heart. The movie is made better by her tough love portrayal -- especially the scenes with the kids. There is one at the beginning of the film where the kids arrive at the house while Phil and Eric are having an anniversary party. Brian goes for the wine and argues that kids in Europe drink it. Gloria responds with, "They can also speak three languages. When you can speak three languages, then we can talk."
Get Your Stuff doesn't set the film world on fire, but it is a fun jaunt. It's something to pass the time in world that touches on reality, but doesn't actually ground itself there.
