I Think I Do

This is just so charming. It's funny and sprightly and very feel-good. After decades of providing anonymous musical vocals for Hollywood actors, Marni Nixon gets an engaging supporting role here as Aunt Alice. Somehow, that's just so right for this movie. I also especially liked Lauren Velez as Carol and Tuc Watkins as Sterling, but all the actors did a fine job (some of them aren't bad looking either).

What really strikes a chord with me, though, is its wish-fulfillment. This film is the ultimate revenge fantasy of anyone who's ever seen - or been - a gay man cruelly disdained by some gorgeous heterosexual object of desire. It revels in poor repentant Brendan's predicament...but it does it in the sweetest, most adoring way possible.

I saw this at our local art academy, where it was apparently brought back by popular demand. The audience was laughing and hooting throughout more than for any other movie I've seen. I was as gleeful as the rest of them.

It's really too bad this film didn't get a big theatrical push. It's one of the breeziest, most enjoyable 'fluff' movies I have seen in a long time. I have had straight and gay friends equally enjoy it. The best thing about it is Tuc Watkins. His performance as the slightly dim soap star was excellent. Really, he truly deserved recognition for this fine supporting performance. The rest of the cast does great too--and the script is funny and sexy. Definitely recommended!

I like this film and was pleasantly surprised when I saw it a few years ago. Another movie I'd like to own but it's not on DVD. Why!? This is well written story about friends and being gay and trying to deal with it. I recommend this to everyone

The annual gay romantic comedy for 1997, "I Think I Do" has some very clever moments. The characters are a bit broadly drawn but are still believable, and the plot stretches credibility a bit but still manages to work.

The best moment, however, happened offscreen. At one point, one character consoles another by saying, "You're trying to hard. If you just stop looking, the right guy will come along."

To which someone in the audience yelled, "IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!"

It's a very gay film that's accessible to everybody. It's fun, it's witty, and leaves you with a certain fuzziness. Yes, it does also lack scope - looking a little tele-movieish and there's some continuity errors too, but its gentle nature and humour make up for these small problems, especially on the second viewing where one can look past this to view its true essence. And it's also refreshing to see a gay film that doesn't have to scream the fact from the roof tops, it's for anyone gay or straight. As for Alexis Arquette he's the best thing ever to hit the screen in queer cinema...I can't wait to see what he does next !
