Sam (Tom Cavanagh) and Gray (Heather Graham) are such a well-matched pair that it is difficult to believe they are brother and sister rather than husband and wife. They both share a love of 1940s movies and dancing, and when they meet Charlie (Bridget Moynahan), they have something else in common: They both fall in love with her. Sam must deal with unexpected feelings of jealousy, while Gray struggles to come to terms with her sexual orientation.
Gray Matters

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Gray Matters tries emulating Hollywood screwball classics, but the rapid fire dialogue and witticisms comes off only as a contrived gimmick.

Graham carries this for a while, but Kramer spends entirely too much time weakly satirizing Graham's job at an advertising agency, where Molly Shannon's a kvetching coworker. Go to Full Review

In its genre writer-director Sue Kramer's film sets a new record for bright shining peepers and dimply smirks. It's enough to kill Buster Keaton's entire family. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Mar 9, 2007

The writing isn't sharp enough for the film to work as comedy, nor are the characters real enough for the audience to connect emotionally. Go to Full Review

Pretty quickly it disintegrates into a mishmash of character caricatures competing for airtime in which to spit out overly quirky dialogue in predictable set-ups. Go to Full Review

While the light and whimsical comic timing of the leads carry the film far, even they cannot blind us to Gray Matters' many shortcomings. Go to Full Review

Kylo G Jul 31, 2018 A heartwarming comedy about the realisation of ones sexuality as an adult.
Han P May 23, 2017 A humble little chick flick comedy that benefits from its simplistic tones and charming cast, even if its entire "fin your own identity" subtext is never deeply explored, and the humor is, oftentimes, cliché. See more
Finn S May 7, 2017 Fun, realistic, innocent, to watch on a Sunday morning without having to think a lot, and with an open mind. A lot of ladies may feel familiarized with Gray. See more
