Such Good People

Such Good People

This was a silly romp nothing more, I enjoyed it for what it was!

We tried to watch this movie on 2 different occasions (the second time was to give it another chance). After 20 minutes the first time and 30 the second time we conclude that the story line is weak and NOT funny. Don't waste your time.

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!

Two points each for Randy Harrison and Michael Urie who are cute as hell and somehow invest their stereotypical gay characters with a degree of conviction that this movie in no way deserves. If one were being generous one might say that Such Good People is a well-intentioned homage to the screwball comedy. It has stashes of hidden money, kidnapped dogs, priceless antiques, inept hit men, befuddled cops and all manner of laborious misunderstandings and double deceptions. Sadly, none of it is quite smart enough or quite funny enough to warrant any suspension of disbelief. So the madcap antics never cease to seem contrived and unbelievable, and the plot never really gathers momentum and generates its own crazed logic, as a screwball comedy should. But, hey, as gay screwball comedies go, it's at least a worthy effort.

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!
