Canned theater.

In 1975, the idea of a straight man tying up a gay burglar was exotic, darkly humorous and sexually charged. In director/star Steve Guttenberg's new film version, it comes off as no big deal.

[The Boys in the Band] is much wittier and funnier than the comparatively frantic and frenzied shouting matches devised by Messrs. Guttenberg, Korn and Kirkwood.
02/12/03
Remains too much a filmed play.

Top CriticGuttenberg is a capable director; his framing is crisp, his pacing brisk, his eye alert to telling detail.
01/23/03
Guttenberg ... obviously meant this as a major stretch, and does his best acting work since his breakthrough in Diner.
01/21/03
A two-character roundelay whose modicum of enjoyment depends largely on your own personal appetite for social commentary transparently dressed up as assertively quirky entertainment.
01/20/03
Guttenberg's Jimmy is such a natural extension of the actor himself, which adds a dimension the original playwright never could have imagined.
01/20/03
It's another world now, which is why Kirkwood's play, adapted to the screen by actor Steve Guttenberg, feels so moldy and out of date.
01/17/03
It is, inevitably, an actorly exercise -- not off-puttingly so, perhaps, but at no time do we have a sense that we've transcended the stage. Or, for that matter, 1970.
01/17/03
The performances are solid, but as a screenwriter, Guttenberg can't make the situation seem like more than a theatrical construct in a contemporary setting.
01/17/03
Dominated by an unshaven Guttenberg mugging, ranting, screaming and hurling himself around the luxurious loft set we're meant to believe is a squalid dump that serves as a nagging reminder to Jimmy of his inadequacies.
01/16/03
The story doesn't have anywhere interesting to go once Kate, appropriately humiliated, slinks away.
01/16/03
Top CriticIt's nicely acted by the small cast.
01/14/03
The film's completely declawed of energy and comedy.
01/10/03
While [Guttenberg's] tenacity is undeniable, he would have been wiser to let sleeping cats lie.
