Such Good People

A little uneven, but fun and campy. Richard (Michael Urie) and partner Alex (Randy Harrison) are house hunting. As are Alex's sister and her husband. They all end up at a house party, watch some weird video, meet some freaky people, and that's just in the first four minutes. Odd pacing; the director spends a whole lot of time on a party scene, and a slow motion scene that didn't seem to add anything to the plot. Also lots of LONG, strange pauses during conversations. And long periods of time where there's no conversation, just scenes of the blissful but ditzy couple. It gets a lot better as it goes along. Anyhoo... they find a secret room with a whole lot of money, and we'll see if they do the right thing. And if the rightful owners do the right thing. Directed by Stewart Wade, who had also directed Coffee Date. (If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's Great!) Some fun cameos in here - Lance Bass, Alec Mapa, Drew Droege. It's a campy 90 minutes of fun, if you just go along for the ride.

David Michael Barrett is the culprit behind this piece of Cali crap. His awful screenplay gave the actors, including Randy Harrison of the series, 'Queer as Folk' ten years earlier, very little to work with. Other than Harrison's performance, which was mediocre at best, there is little substance here. The story is an attempt, albeit a bad one, to highlight the subjects of honesty, integrity and friendship among a group of morally questionable people. Barrett and Greg Sterling who wrote this monstrosity, picked southern Cali as the venue for this cinematic waste of time. I guess given the cast of the plastic characters who populate 'Such Good People', that might have been the only correct decision this inept team made. I give this picture a 'DWYT' rating, Don't Waste Your Time!

What an intolerable film!!

I could only finish it by increasing the playback speed by 100% !!!

Randy Harrison's pace of delivery was a special form of torture. I don't know if it was his acting style, or the writing, or the directing! Probably all three!

Such a pity considering the caliber of the cast and the promise the plot held. We should have definitely seen more of Ana Ortiz and Scott Wolf - their story lines were a LOT juicier than that of flat-lining Alex and Richard.

Definitely give this movie a very big miss.

This is proof some people will do anything for a buck! Over acted, badly written, just a waste of 90 minutes! On paper this may have looked like an interesting story but on film, not so much! If any of your favorite actors are in this DO NOT WATCH! It will not enhance your opinion of them!

This was a fun film, great for a late night or a lazy morning.

Thank You Michael Urie and Randy Harrison! The Ugly Betty fans at my house have been without a new installment for what seemed like a century until we stumbled upon this gem on Netflix.

I enjoyed the theatrical body work Urie and Harrison brought out in this film. Some would call it slap stick, but the movements of the actors really added to their overall character profiles. The humor was simple, but the choreography really added a fun flare. Urie and Harrison fit together as well, in the line of other good gay films like "The mostly unfabulous social life of Ethan Green", and "Eating Out."

Ana Ortiz; Alec Mapa; Drew Droege; Tania Gunadi, how much fun did they all have making this? This stellar supporting cast made this film; and was quite reminiscent to how entertaining it was to watch Ugly Betty - not because of the writing, but because the actors made the writing complete.

Certainly this film won't win many awards, but after watching Leo DeCaprio drag himself through the mud for five hours just for a gold stature, this film is a great antidote to the blase cinema culture expecting every last film to come out to be Shakespeare drab. Cheers!
