Why so much hype?

Sadly Over-hyped

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

First and foremost I am a gay man, although do not live my life within the so called "Community", and it's because of films like this that Gay themed movies are not my favorite genre because 90% of them are crap. Like this one. f I could give this a zero I would. (I do not understand all the positive comments, unless they were all made by people who made this film) I actually stopped this at the 24 minute mark when the so called straight "Anthony" kissed Adam outside the restaurant for NO reason at all. And how is the son stealing from the diner if he doesn't even live in the town? Wire transfers? The acting was HORRENDOUS! The sound editing? (Listen to "Anthony" and Adam when they are sitting on the fence eating their lunch. Every time the camera switched between the two so called actors the sound changes, like there was not a filter on the microphone)Seriously do not rent, or god forbid, buy this movie.Horrible Horrible Horrible acting and just a stupid storyline.

I have seen The House of Adam a couple of times, and thoroughly enjoyed the film. The Star of this film, is a dead ringer for a young version of Colin Farrel, extremely sexy, and totally believable in his character. I do not understand those that would give this film a "low rating." It is known that at times, competitive Producers will use this tactic to "bang" someone else's work, and I think this is unfair, as well as unprofessional. This work should be admired for what it is, a fine film with a very "HOT!" new face in Hollywood. The world of Independent films is a tough enough road, without others trying to berate a good production. I would recommend this film to anyone, and I look forward to the release on Home Video DVD!

I hardly ever post comments on this site but after watching this film at Reelpride and attending a very intense q & a this past Saturday, I thought I'd add my comments. I stayed after the Q and A and spoke to the director at the after party. Many who stayed, those who might have had a problem with the film, made their voices heard. However, I noticed when I approached the director several people who were at the Q & A told him how much they enjoyed it. I noticed those same people didn't say much during the Q & A. From what I understood, the film was projected on video because its still a work in progress. I can't wait to see the finished film projected on film. I found this film to be very intuitive, original and fun. It is without question dark and disturbing. The acting was very good. I specially liked the editing and cinematography. The sound in the theatre was poor. There were volume distortions with films shown throughout this festival. I applaud the filmmaker for his efforts and for his dark and interesting insight on life. We share the same outlook ;P. I definitely recommend this film.

I just saw this film on Saturday evening (4-22-06) as part of the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival being held here in Palm Desert. I didn't know what to expect and was disappointed that the sound quality was so poor when the film began. The sound quality never improved. It didn't much matter since the dialogue was poor and the acting was even worse. The quality of this film was so uniformly poor, that one could only assume it was intentional and that this was a conscious decision to make the film so funny. The stilted dialogue and extremely amateur acting, not to mention the poor sound and filming quality were a bit reminiscent of John Water's early films. Actually, this was the film JW might have made when experimenting as a teenager. I have to say that in spite of its flaws (or because of them), I enjoyed the film a lot. I haven't laughed that hard at a film in a very long time. The people who were seated near me all had one question on their mind at the end of the film: Did the film's creator intend to make a comedy with this film? It didn't seem so since the film took itself so seriously. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much, even though it was probably not in the way the director intended.
