Adam (Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets) are two gay youths who have a one-night stand that ends embarrassingly. Nearly two decades later, Adam, now a Manhattan tour guide, and Steve, a psychiatrist, meet again -- but neither remembers the other from years before. The two begin dating, even playing matchmaker for their friends Michael (Chris Kattan) and Rhonda (Parker Posey), but their promising relationship hits a major snag when Adam and Steve finally recall their past connection.

Critics Consensus

Gross-out comedy and true love make for an awkward mix in this clunky romance.

Clever, liberatingly silly and sweet.

Adam & Steve mainly goes to prove that indie gay romantic comedies can be just as witless, vulgar and over the top as their straight, major studio counterparts.

D

Pure amateur-hour stuff: a low-budget, poorly written gay movie that revolves around a crude joke and repeatedly delivers embarrassment when it's supposed to be offering humor.

Chester doesn't break any new ground here, yet the film stands out due to an incredible supporting cast that includes Parker Posey, Sally Kirkland, Paul Sand, and Julie Hagerty.

4/4

A lighthearted look at gay love, and a far more honest and ultimately more touching exploration of the theme than what we got up on Brokeback Mountain.

Chester has a good ear for the snappy one-liner and this, plus his obviously hard-earned knowledge of the quirks in the gay mating game, put over his determinedly black romantic comedy.
