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

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.

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.
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 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!
