Get Your Stuff

I read the reviews posted here before buying this movie and actually tried to return it based on what I read. Unfortunately I couldn't send it back as it had already shipped out to me. My friend and I sat down and watched it and both really enjoyed the film.

I read more than one of the scathing reviews posted on here and I just don't see where they're coming from. Comedy films can be a big hit or miss due to the fact that everyone's sense of humor is different. Personally I don't feel it was 'knee-slapper', but it wasn't bad. A big budget film its not, but based on the circumstances, they did a good job.

Being a gay male myself I did see several cliché stereotypes here and there, but I didn't care. The main 2 characters are supposed to fit a certain mold to accommodate the story.

Don't let your judgment be swayed by the bad reviews. Check it out yourself!

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.

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

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.

Like a wine that turns to vinegar, Get Your Stuff has not aged well. Somehow the antics of two wealthy gay men in Beverly Hills was amusing at the time; now it's over-dramatic and condescending. Did they add more footage to the DVD? You'll be sitting on the fast-forward button as the one-dimensional characters develop into... saccharin-sweet one-dimensional characters.

In an early scene, the couple decides to sleep in separate bedrooms, so as not to offend the children. Since when are successful millionaire gay men closeted?

The unbelievable plot and under-developed characters will forever live on as a reminder of how NOT to make a gay film.
