It's in the Water

This is a really touching film. I saw it when it was originally released and i still love it now. Although it may not be for everyone's taste I think that you just have to go see it with an open mind! For those of you who come from a small town out in the sticks where everyone knows everyone elses business this is for you! If you don't want to buy it then rent it, at the very least you'll laugh once and be entertained for 100 minutes of your life!!

This enjoyable movie relies largely on caricature to achieve its comedic ends and it does so quite well. Lots of good lines here especially for the Spenser character. I thought the love scenes were handled tastefully if somewhat conventionally. I give it 7 out of 10.

This isn't the best gay and lesbian comedy around, but it certainly isn't the stinker that some of the other IMDb user comments claim it to be.

It's camp and extravagantly acted -- okay, maybe a bit overacted -- in the way, say, "But I'm A Cheerleader" is. But it more than makes up for that in its upbeat and affirming ending and particularly through its gentle treatment of the two main characters. It's very unusual that these two are a gay and a lesbian. Most LGBT movies stick to one group; "It's In The Water" shows a lesbian discovering what she is from out of a loveless marriage and a "cured" gay guy finding love with an unashamed gay decorator. If only more LGBT movies were as inclusive...

Sure, this isn't one of those LGBT movies that could be claimed to be in the same league as mainstream Hollywood movies. But frankly, even so, I'm happy to give this one a "7". And hell, I'd watch this anytime rather than some of the "gay" tripe that the "mainstream" serve us up, such as "In & Out" or "Three To Tango".

Don't expect a masterpiece, and don't expect the raving farce that the blurb promises. But do sit back and enjoy a good-hearted, sweet, story.

The person who reviewed this film from L.A obviously has some issues. Does that surprise us of an L.A. person? How can you down a church choir. Get a life. I thought the film was very funny and has a lot of great scenes. Rent the film its good. I thought the "water" issue was not played out very well. This film has some very good characters,especially the scene with the mother finding out about her daughter being a lesbian,very Cruella DeVille,I laugh until it hurts when I saw this scene. The film was shot in Texas "George Bush Country" I can only imagine that some people here in Texas would think the water could cause people to become gay.You should really check out this film it has some great laughs.

An odd little movie, with many unknown actors. The comedy/drama in the film is mostly unfunny and undramatic, but some scenes do contain real impact. And one scene is very funny - when the main character goes to the video store for lesbian movies. What a hoot! Otherwise, a good attempt at creating a gay and lesbian movie. This is probably best described as a lightweight and interesting failure - but still worth a look.
