I LOVED this movie and thought it was uplifting, inspirational, and if you watch it ALL the way too the very end it will make you feel extremely good about yourself. While I understand how some of the other reviews don't feel the movie is a good representation of everyone in the gay community, but to be honest I would ignore them. I think they are letting how they act personally affect how they are rating the movie and their picture of entire LGBT Community. It's true not all LGBT people act like the actors in this movie portray them, but not every straight guy acts like Barney on "How I Met Your Mother".(Who by the way is played by a gay actor).

An off-Broadway musical-in-the-film vaudeville, the musical is called"Adam and Steve, Just the Way God Made Them", so the skeletal story, one could effortless divine is a blasphemous entertainment, aftr Adam and Eve failed to achieve what God's expectancy to blossom in the Eden (thanks to the forbidden fruit), he instead dabs in molding a gay couple, the new Adam and Steve, but the film has no consistence in promoting the musical, since its absolutely small- scale theater and its episodic occurrences only methodically adjusts itself to be the perfect foil in mirroring two leading actors' mundane lives, nevertheless the musical parts are arguably the redeeming features with a patchwork of the angelic dancing routines (the angel Dorothy is horridly over-the-top), corrective therapy to cure gayness and the Catholic kitsch sermons, which are partly insanely funny, partly inanely tedious.There are no single ugly boys in the film, eye-candies are permeating, but the two leaders are considerably capable of doing more than just meet the eyes, Daniel Robinson gives an edge in his both physical movements and emotional thrust, (after a sudden and completely unexplained disappearance of his 3-weeks boyfriend, the once-believed-in-love boy decides to go wild), his rendition of "I WANNA BE A SLUT" is the crest of the entire film. Joey Dudding, who is dealing with the virgin coming-out cliché (with a bluff of HIV-panic), has his own moment in some strip- dancing solo presentation, but compared with Robinson's go-slutty transformation, his section has barely any praiseworthy flickering. By and large the film is as kitschy as any of its peers, thinking it too much is plain pointless and it is a timely reminder of us to cherish the day.

Although ultimately well intentioned, the film depicts a rather depressing image of what it means to be gay. If the film is to be believed, being gay means a life filled with religious-based bigotry, disease, a de-humanizing dating scene, low self-esteem, rejection from family and obsession with the body.As a gay man living in a big city and working in the theatre, I can tell you that there's more to gay life than that. There are gay people in happy long-term monogamous relationships. Most gay people I know are involved with community activism and have rich, rewarding lives.I belong to a gay Christian church, and I know that God loves everyone and that anti-gay bigotry is not consistent with Christ's ministry.As a film, "The Big Gay Musical" is passable entertainment. The acting, writing, directing and music are average.

So, I've noticed that some people try to put this movie-musical down and I really can't understand. I consider myself very knowledgeable of musical theatre (with my embarrassingly large collection of over 200 different cast albums) and this is certainly not bad! It's on par with something like Reefer Madness.The songs are campy. They were meant to be. They do pay homage, and parody existing theatre pieces, and they do it well. The singers are good, if over processed which bothered me. But if you wanted big production numbers, my question is, "why?" They're in a tiny off- Broadway theatre. Of course the songs are smaller numbers. If the "show" made it to Broadway for real, the songs would be re-orchestrated, and changed to make them huge. The acting is spot on. The characters that are supposed to be shallow are just that! And though some people would say that this paints a bad picture of gays, well... gays in the theatre are very often incredibly shallow. But there is depth of character in the important roles. And the actors are very honest in their approach. It's quite nice. Of course, they all play a bit over the top when they're 'on stage'. And let's be honest, they're acting in an off-Broadway show, so they would so be over the top.Overall, this was incredibly entertaining. I laughed, and even got emotional at the end when the Tammi Faye character sang one hell of a show stopping number. I am going to make all my friends watch this! And if I could get this on Broadway, I would!!!
