Get Your Stuff (2000)

So we see two troubled kids stealing cookies from a store and a luxurious gay couple having a good time with their friends. The boys then were introduced by the gay couple and thats when I found the storyline hard to pick up because suddenly the mother comes in then everything goes wrong for the couple. It was all over the place and I felt very confused by the way this storyline was set out. Like Eric horribly cheated on Phil but Phil had that 'I don't care' attitude or trying to get the mother a job whereas she was really unfit to get down and work. It was crazy. Anyways the only positives about this movie was that Elaine Hendrix (from the parent trap) starred in this and that the boys were finally adopted in the end. I have to say all actors were good in this but the script should've been looked at clearly.

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!

Finally a film about real issues that just happens to involve a gay couple. A family film that appeals to gay and straight people. Wonderfully, poignant performances, highlighted by two young actors who light up the screen. Max Mitchell and his team have assembled a truly important film for the millenium.Elaine Hendrix is incredible as the alcoholic mother. The lead couple are great and represent a much needed example of a large majority of gay men in America. This film helps to erase the old stereotype that all gay men are effeminate. The media has focused far too long on negative images of gay men and GET YOUR STUFF shows a couple dealing with issues that any couple would have to deal with gay or straight. They're not perfect but neither are any of us. BRAVO!!

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.
