Directors: Casper Andreas, Fred M. Caruso
Writer: Fred M. Caruso
Stars: Daniel Robinson, Joey Dudding and Jeff Metzler
Summary: Life imitates a play, and that’s just the thing for sending up the Bible in this no-feathers-barred fantasia that swirls around Paul (Daniel Robinson) and Eddie (Joey Dudding), the leads in a musical called "Adam and Steve Just the Way God Made ‘Em." Offstage, the pair act out the story of their own star-crossed lives: Paul, recently dumped, just wants to stay in, while Eddie’s still coming out. But rest assured that the show tunes will go on.

I can understand a gay man who’s not into musicals but he must at least like 1 in some way, shape or form.  This movie plays off the sterotype that gay men all love musicals.  In the process it looks are the two main character’s lives outside of the musical they are in as well as showing a take on the whole “God hates gays” thing.  Intertwining the stage musical with Paul and Eddie’s real life allows for a very compelling story and they acting for the comedic and the serious elements of this movie is spot on.  They know when to camp it up, and they know when to bring it down to Earth.  This is a great little film and I completely recommend it.
