All Over the Guy

If gay men were allowed to kiss on TV--I mean really kiss--a frivolous but passably entertaining sitcom flick like All Over the Guy probably would have (probably should have) become a network series instead of a movie. This playful, two-perspective romantic comedy dissection of a relationship gone wrong is packed with sitcom stars living through sitcom conflicts while plucky sitcom soft rock guitar plays incidentally on the soundtrack. These are not complaints, per se, as this is a spirited and reliably funny movie--but it just feels so workaday, like a TV comedy in its fifth season. Dan Bucatinsky (who also wrote the script) and Richard Ruccolo (ABC's Two Guys and a Girl) play the freshly broken-up couple in the awkward position of being the best man and "man of honor" at the upcoming wedding of their two best friends, straight couple Sasha Alexander and Adam Goldberg. Watch for scene-stealing appearances by Christina Ricci (Sleepy Hollow) and Lisa Kudrow (TV's Friends). A strong optional purchase. (R. Blackwelder)
