  All Over the Guy
All Over the Guy is a rapid-fire, talk-driven, inverted sitcom that promotes gay friends to the forefront and pushes their hetero pals into the background--a film that admirably attempts to demythologize a homosexual relationship by taking parts originally written for a man and a woman and giving them to two men.
All Over the Guy wanders like this for most of its running time, touching base at one end with a kind of emotional connection that is very sweet and human, and glossing vital transitions with a sort of ramshackle recklessness at the other.
Far from awful, All Over the Guy has a few laugh-out-loud moments and a couple of scenes that are tender and revelatory--more's the pity, then, that it never pulls more from its premise than a canned rehash of apocalyptic romantic holocausts and their too-eloquent moments of fated and convenient resolution.

 Apollo Movie Guide's Review of All Over the Guy
The most entertaining components of All Over the Guy are the witty, fast-paced dialogue and the splendid supporting cast.
Doris Roberts (television’s Everybody Loves Raymond) is on hand as a sweet yet foul-mouthed secretary, Christina Ricci (The Opposite of Sex) pops in for a few fun scenes as Eli’s sister and Lisa Kudrow (Analyze This) steals one hilarious sequence as a clueless recording artist.
The “gay stuff” is refreshingly realistic and delightfully free of pandering or cliché, as is so prevalent in Hollywood, and while this is a movie about two guys in love, it never comes close to becoming a preachy “issue” movie.

 All Over the Guy
The most beloved work of cinema, Gone With the Wind is referred to at least twice as the lead, homosexual characters of All Over the Guy played by Dan Bucatinsky and Richard Ruccolo are at odds over it with Ruccolo's Tom thinking that it's a fl and white film.
Slightly amusing, but sprightly manipulative, Julie Davis' direction of Bucatinsky's script doesn't lift this reworking of a romantic comedy into a gay scenario into something better than broken hearts figuring out new ways why they must be apart.
Finally, the ups and downs of a relationship are parlayed during Brett and Jackie's big day, as tender moments become too melodramatic with Roberts and Alexander on hand to provide a droll buffer.

"Oh, I hate that movie!" The outburst of contempt the characters feel toward the clichés of In and Out announces All Over the Guy as a gay romantic comedy with a difference.
