Get Your Stuff (2000)

Simply A Masterpiece

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

good back-story, and good acting

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

So we see two troubled kids stealing cookies from a store and a luxurious gay couple having a good time with their friends. The boys then were introduced by the gay couple and thats when I found the storyline hard to pick up because suddenly the mother comes in then everything goes wrong for the couple. It was all over the place and I felt very confused by the way this storyline was set out. Like Eric horribly cheated on Phil but Phil had that 'I don't care' attitude or trying to get the mother a job whereas she was really unfit to get down and work. It was crazy. Anyways the only positives about this movie was that Elaine Hendrix (from the parent trap) starred in this and that the boys were finally adopted in the end. I have to say all actors were good in this but the script should've been looked at clearly.

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

This movie starts out fine and has a very enticing premise: two gay guys who want to be foster parents (aren't they all waiting for an infant to adopt?) get 2 unruly pre-teen boys, but end up loving them. The trouble is that the story bogs down in the middle and goes through some strange wormholes. There are incidents, scenes and action that have no connection. It was impossible to follow a plot at all. What a shame! The scriptwriter must have had a stroke at that point and just wrote gibberish afterwards. It ruined what was otherwise a very cute movie. PS The reference to AA is quite fascinating, and could be seen as being very socially enlightening.

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!!
