Memorable, crazy movie
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Get Your Stuff. Two homosexual guys who want to adopt a baby are asked to take care of two pre-teens for their social worker for one night, buttttt!I found this movie to be very refreshing. The two lead guys were masculine , looked like regular guys and made an believable pair. They were always cuddling and had sex (almost) 2-3 times. Ha Ha. The foster kids did a great job as the two ( almost Mobster Kids ) who bring the story of adoption to a new height . You hate them at first , but grow to like them later. The mother who is an mainliner, and drunk , was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix , Kimberly Scott the probation officer, both did a smash-up job. There were parts for sheer laughter and parts for some tears . But all in all it was a great little flik , that has some serious social problems to work out. Cameron Watson (Phil) and Anthony Paul Meindl (Erik) Are the adopting couple and thru all the confusion have to come to terms with their love and what it entails. Phil is also an love councilor for the gay community , Erik is an lawyer . Hop aboard its' fun , will make you feel good. Sure there are some things that just don' seem right , but heh what movie is perfect...,I give this movie 7/10 ciao yaaah69
Was totally disappointed to see this film. Great concept, not the greatest execution. The acting was over the top. The most genuine performance was by the youngest actor in the movie.In this day and age stereotypes are so OVER. Haven't we passed that day and age with gay cinema?? And lastly, I have to say that the writer/director should have taken a more realistic approach to the outcome of "Eric" leaving. The character of "Phil" never would taken Eric back after he was being cheated on like that. Come on! This could have been a great, edgy, real film. It turned into big gay fluff where cheating is okay. You don't need to see this movie.
Like a wine that turns to vinegar, Get Your Stuff has not aged well. Somehow the antics of two wealthy gay men in Beverly Hills was amusing at the time; now it's over-dramatic and condescending. Did they add more footage to the DVD? You'll be sitting on the fast-forward button as the one-dimensional characters develop into... saccharin-sweet one-dimensional characters.In an early scene, the couple decides to sleep in separate bedrooms, so as not to offend the children. Since when are successful millionaire gay men closeted?The unbelievable plot and under-developed characters will forever live on as a reminder of how NOT to make a gay film.
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!!
