I Think I Do (1997)
Member Rating:  
A group of old college friends work through their long-standing sexual tensions when they reunite for a wedding in this comedy-drama. Bob (Alexis Arquette), a student at George Washington University, has a mad crush on his buff, beautiful roommate, Brendan (Christian Maelen). Brendan senses the attraction, but rejects Bob violently during a play wrestling match that goes a little too far. A few years later, the young men's mutual friends -- Matt (Jamie Harrold) and Carol (Lauren Velez) -- decide to tie the knot, and the old gang reassembles. TV writer Bob brings along his conceited soap-star boyfriend, Sterling (Tuc Watkins). Brendan comes dateless, but old flame Sarah (Marianne Hagan) -- now a conservative senator's aide -- puts the moves on him. Meanwhile, their friend Eric (Guillermo Diaz) vacillates between hooking up with long-lost lady friend Beth (Maddie Corman) or with the nubile sister of the bride. During the wedding reception, Brendan corners Bob and confesses that he, too, is now gay -- and that he's in love with Bob. This doesn't sit well with the newly self-sufficient Bob, who's finally found a backbone and doesn't want to relive painful college memories. But with stick-in-the-mud Sterling around to remind him that his new life isn't exactly perfect, Bob soon finds himself alone in a hotel room with the object of his youthful affection. The debut feature from writer/director Brian Sloan, I Think I Do was produced by Lane Janger, a fellow participant in the Boys Life anthology series. Janger would go on to cast Guillermo Diaz in his own debut feature, Just One Time. Actress/singer Marni Nixon has a cameo as Carol's wise old Aunt Alice -- her first screen role since appearing in 1965's The Sound of Music. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    Finally, a gay themed movie that does not revolve around the funeral of one key character with AIDS. This movie had it all, comedy, romance, a few suprising turns.

    Yes   |   No

    Zany college friend bunch is followed through young adulthood. Main character, openly gay guy, has to choose between steady stalwart festive soap opera hunk and confused adorable long time object of affection. This movie is kinda dumb, but it has a good heart. Just like the characters in the plot.

    Yes   |   No

    We did laugh a few times...it had some comedy. But the movie really left us flat. The idea that Bob would settle for less with his soap opera star boyfriend (even to the point of considering engagement), and then break-up with him the moment that his old flame came along is disgusting. It sends the wrong message: It's okay to settle for less until the right thing comes along...then just dump the other guy and go for greener pastures. I'm not an Alexis fan. Guillermo Diaz plays Eric...he is eye candy. The bathroom scene at the wedding was cute. The acting is good. It was not a low budget movie (at least it didn't give the appearance of one). The movie just didn't have much to offer. It has a happy ending, I guess...if you call one guy dumping another guy for Mr. Right a happy ending. I'm glad I rented it instead of buying, and I have no plans to buy it.

    Yes   |   No
