I had a ball watching this. The bad see meets birdcage. Two great gay guys want a baby and instead get the foster kids from hell. And then the fun begins. Kimberly Scott and Elaine Hendrix really deliver on the performances. It was fun to see the Bundy kid from Married with Children in the mix too but I wish he had more to do. Same for Jim J. Bullock, so funny. Obviously a low budgeter, it looks good anyway. My favorite is the grandma. A grandma at last. Patience Cleveland. Hilarious. Where did they get that house? Love it. Some day the story of gays adopting kids will seem curious. In the meantime, there are a lot of kids in the foster care system who would be happy to have a home like this.

Read the reviews here before I saw the flick, so I almost didn't watch it. It didn't turn out half as bad. In fact I rather enjoyed it. Acting and script weren't mind-blowing, but it was decent if a little wooden in parts. Worth a watch if you like something feel-good. I think it was a wrong move to market the movie as a slap-knee comedy, as they suggest on the cover, because that it isn't. Most times I was actually more holding my breath about the future of the various relationships. I think it was more of a comedy-drama. Plot-wise, the story dragged a little, but the ending is rather nice.Oh, and the gay couple who are the main characters are really hot.

I read the reviews posted here before buying this movie and actually tried to return it based on what I read. Unfortunately I couldn't send it back as it had already shipped out to me. My friend and I sat down and watched it and both really enjoyed the film. I read more than one of the scathing reviews posted on here and I just don't see where they're coming from. Comedy films can be a big hit or miss due to the fact that everyone's sense of humor is different. Personally I don't feel it was 'knee-slapper', but it wasn't bad. A big budget film its not, but based on the circumstances, they did a good job.Being a gay male myself I did see several cliché stereotypes here and there, but I didn't care. The main 2 characters are supposed to fit a certain mold to accommodate the story.Don't let your judgment be swayed by the bad reviews. Check it out yourself!

The true test of a film is whether or not it still affects you a couple of days after you see it. "Get Your Stuff" is still affecting me. The film was done, obviously, with very little money and the end result was that I felt for and related to these characters more than those I saw in The Perfect Storm. What does that tell you about spending a great deal or very little to make a film? The film never lagged. The acting was tight, well executed and honest in almost every instance. The story was original and thought provoking. The direction was smart because humor was found in almost scene, yet touching moments were never overlooked or brushed over. The only negative about the film is that it could be trimmed just a bit to avoid scenes that are only saying again what we have seen before. But--I cried, I laughed, I thought, and I felt. What else could you ask for when you go to the movies?
