A lot could be said about this somewhat neglected movie. Where Ethan a woman, situations would differ very little, perhaps with less skin. The plot centers on the difficulties of Ethan in finding Mr. Right, for, as was stated by another reviewer, he looks for Mr. Alright. It's a reality for many people, always in search of prince charming. This is told in a light, hilarious way. Ethan is surrounded by a cast of beauties (with a cutest David Monahan among them) and drops them all, for one reason or another, or simply for no reason at all. A film that can be seen many times, with different moods and appreciation, bringing joy and, why not, some philosophical insights.

The Ethan Green strip isn't the funniest thing on the planet but it's not Family Circle/Garfield bad. Given that it's been going on forever, there was plenty of material there to make a slim (80 minutes-ish, minus opening and closing credits) movie. The problem was that they picked the wrong material to make a movie from and the wrong actor to build a movie around. Daniel Letterle is just plain wrong for Ethan, he comes across as too nelly and too stupid, and his body type and hair coloring are also wrong. The rest of the performances are adequate or what you would expect from a low budget movie put together in a few weeks. Again, the problem is both the script and the direction. It's basically a bad, sitcom level plot strung together over a 2.5 episode arc to make it into a movie level movie.Some of the other aspects in the movie (the interstellar romance Ethan has or the Hat Sisters) would have made a better full length feature, but the producers probably felt that what limited audience it could get would be with the hints of nudity and romance. Unfortunately, they just leave you cold, especially in this day and age when porn is so readily available and better romance can be viewed for free in short films on Logo, to name just one outlet.Frankly, given that they were able to make something as unfunny as Queer Duck into an animated feature (which actually was helped by a full length story), it would have made far more sense for Ethan to also have been an animated feature and also would have allowed for far more opportunity for the more interesting aspects of the comic strip to be filmed.

I loved this movie, the actors, the writing the score, everything about it. It's a shame it's not on release in the UK, I only discovered it by accident on Here TV and went on a search to to see if it was available. I decided to take a risk and buy it without first watching it. I'm glad I did, it'd quite refreshing to find a gay movie that's not all about coming out and being alienated. Is funny without having to present gays in a stereotypical way and presents life and love as any other 'straight' movie would. I loved Meredith Baxter she was fantastically cast as Ethan's mother, the Hat Sisters were great fun. David Monahan as Leo was too cute. And Daniel Latterle was brilliant as Ethan. As a 32 year old gay man this movie felt relevant to me.

If you want a very funny movie than this is it. Very good gay movie.. Very good gay movie and David letterle does a good job in making us laugh. The situations he gets himself in a very funny. ..He was great in camp and i had to look and make sure it was him. He is a little older in this movie but still$$$$$..if you know what i mean. I buy a lot of DVD movies and end up selling them but this one is a keeper. I watch it and it picks up my day. There a lot of other personalities in this movie. I wish this was my life but no way . So go out and buy this movie and enjoy it when your down. It will make you smile and wish it was you. So smile away.
