Adam and Steve, a comedy from the late 90tis and with Parker Posey (from the show -Saturday night-) Malcom Gets and Co.
The story takes place in New York in the 80tis and goes on until after 9/11.
But it's not a story about two people meeting in the crazy 80tis and being in trauma after 9/11.
A comedy it is for sure and starting with mad jokes being fat, a wannabe grufti or a gay dancer with too much hair.
Yes two guys throw to each other but then some shit happens and they are drifting apart and so the stories goes on and comes back in the 90tis. So far, things have changed and those two kids became older and meet again, without knowing who they are.
The movie cuts are fast but good in the storyline. It's a bit drama in jokes and lot of overdrive fantasy. So you actually will have a laughing time watching this film.
Of course a bit coming of age and coming out is in the story too and also that the friends of those two guys have their own coming outs in some way. Kinda. The story is in that case not really realistic but a comedy is mostly not this way... So this movie is made very traditional in the way, that you follow a story, catch up the jokes and go on and sometimes it feels like is this joke good or just cheap?
That is the reason why you won't watch this movie maybe a hundred times. Because after seeing it once, twice or more times you know all the jokes and it is not funny anymore, but Hollywood made worse, so don't worry, catch the movie and be sure it's very kinda end 90tis style.
Has this movie a big massage, no it has many little once but sure it tells you to be you.
Be yourself.
Although the figures are a bit too well known and foreseen, it is fun to take the time to follow them.
The director Craig Chester did some movies before, so you won't regret watching this one, but as you may feel, expect better not too much from it. Be easy going.
What I like with tis movie is that it catches up a lot of what we know from our live but never goes to deep inside these things. And also by seeing these you will be happy that your live is not such a mess, if you think so. Maybe you laugh about your own bad luck you have sometimes.
Have fun with this not so artistic movie.
Love & Light
