Review of I Think I Do (1997) by Tom C — 10 Nov 2012
Okay, it's a totally sappy rom-com - the kind Freddie Prinze Jr. used to churn out - only with a gay romance as the centerpiece, with a great supporting cast, many of whom have gone on to become beloved characters on pay cable series (yes, that's Guillermo from "Weeds" & Huck from "Scandal", Guillermo DÃaz, only a little thinner, clean shaven much less moody and a LOT more goofy in a good way as Eric; and that's Captain LaGuerta from "Dexter", Lauren Velez, as beautiful and volatile as ever, but also hysterically funny as Carol, the bride trying to make it through her wedding with her feuding divorced parents both in attendance).
When this came out 15 years ago, it was a niche comedy; but it not only holds up amazingly well for a light comic farce, in light of the dramatic shift in attitudes toward same-sex relationships, I think its ahead of its time.
Plus there's a soundtrack that features some great old Partridge Family tunes. If you're looking for deep drama, this isn't the movie for you, but if you want a cute comedy that makes you feel a little less cynical about relationships, this is great fun.
Plus Christian Maelen has the whole "sweet/sexy/brooding/conflicted/dreamboat" thing going on - I'd swear Freddie Prinze Jr. stole his act.
