A modern screwball comedy about a young gay couple, Michael Urie ("Ugly Betty") and Randy Harrison ("Queer As Folk"), who discover a secret room filled with cash while house-sitting for their wealthy humanitarian friends who have unfortunately just died in a car accident while doing missionary work for the children of Bhutan. Though in grief, Richard and Alex want what everyone wants: success, money, and a fabulous house in Los Angeles. After the boys discover wads of cash that the couple will now, obviously, no longer need, mayhem ensues as they deal with jealousy, sibling rivalry, grey-hounds, labradoodles, porpoises and other friends who want the money as well. "Such Good People" is a refreshing and lighthearted throwback to the classic caper comedies of the 60s and 70s.

THE ADVENTURES OF NICK AND DICK CHARLES
Fun, Fun, Fun. I had expected, with Michael Urie is starring, it would be a movie with him playing that over-the -top, snotty character he always plays. Not that I object to it, it's that I thought that a whole movie of that, after having seen him do it so often, might be be a bit much. Boy, was I wrong ! The character he plays is just your ordinary Joe, married and making his way through life. This is a bit of a caper comedy. Urie's character and his partner are lusting after what they think of as their dream home when suddenly, it becomes available because the owner is planning a religious retreat in Asia ( or is that REALLY why he's leaving the country?). He needs someone to house sit. The owner and his wife taking a preference for the gay couple who has been forced to compete with Urie's partner's obnoxious sister and her husband for the privilege of house sitting. Things take a strange turn when the house's owner is mysteriously murdered in Asia, followed by a rumor there is hidden treasure somewhere in the house that many are interested in. I found this well-written, directed and acted movie quite a pleasant surprise that held my attention straight to the end

I liked it a lot. All those haters can shut up.
I'm not sure why this film has gotten so many negative reviews. I mean, what do people expect? It's a B flick. I'll be honest, I only picked it up because the teenager in me was excited to see Randy Harrison in a new film. Obviously the movie isn't going to win any awards, but it doesn't have to. It's funny enough that I laughed out loud at a couple parts. It's well acted, being that it's a goofball comedy which isn't supposed to be taken seriously. The four main characters react really well off one another. Randy Harrison and Michael Urie are awesome together, despite the fact that they're both very stereotypically "gay" in this film. They're adorable. And funny. So if you're looking for a cute, light-hearted, fluffy film to watch one night, give it a shot. I liked it quite a bit.Note: I'm pretty sure Randy Harrison doesn't age. He looks just as young and cute as he did during his QAF days. Such a doll.

Excellent screwball comedy!
Delightful light comedy. You can tell that the actors are enjoying every moment of the action to which their performances attest.Perhaps by Hollywood standard, it is a B movie, but who says that a B movie can’t be a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyable.Michael Urie and Randy Harrison are most enticing in their roles as the somewhat neurotic gay couple.If you want to escape the tedium of life and laugh a little, this film is for you.

it is worth your viewing time.
What can I say....very cute. Nothing exceptional but very cute. Michael Urie and Randy Harrison are a lovely couple who want more than the life they are living. They attend a party where a straight couple asks them to house sit while the carry on the charity work in Bhutan. The couple perishes in Bhutan and well the hijinks happen from there. There are a few good laughs when worlds collide over the money the late couple had along with other items. As I said Randy and Michael are the cutest couple ever and they are at odds with how to handle this dilemma. Silly fun but fin nonetheless. You will have a smile on your face. Nothing in it to make any heteros nervous. Just a good bit of fluffy fun.

A light comedy...perhaps TOO light.
This film was okay, at best. As much as I love a good screwball comedy, SGP was just a bit too silly for me. Kudos to Richard and Alex for wanting to donate the money to a good cause, but to schlep it around L.A. while it was still inside the shop vac??? A pretty weak attempt to get a quick laugh. The chemistry between the two main characters was very good, but there were too many stereotypical supporting characters...such as the conniving sister and her dorky husband; the tough-talking female detective; etc. Overall, a somewhat cute, inoffensive film with a warm, but completely predictable ending.

Almost a good movie
I'm sorry, but they just tried too hard to make it funny and mysterious and fell short. I have to admit the characters were pretty real. I know some people like them. But it seemed to drag a lot and make the serious parts just quite not fitting in with the rest of the movie. It was jumbled and the twists and turns weren't twisty or turny enough. Good try, but not great.

Not that good group of actors to be such good people.
Thought this would be funny, it's just plain boring and dumb. I fell asleep 3x. Poor movie choice. Bad acting and outrageous plot.

It's a blu ray created on demand. I miss extras on the blu ray. The movie itself is fun to watch. 'Randy fan' ;-)

Nicht wirklich sehenswert
Ich habe mir den Film hauptsächlich wegen dem Schauspielern Randy Harrison gekauft. Viele queere Filme sind manchmal seltsam. Dieser gehört leider auch dazu. Ich habe nicht einmal die Hälfte anschauen können. Keine Kaufempfehlung.

Ganz guter Film
Ich fand den Film richtig lustig und die Darsteller sind für die Filmcharaktere gut ausgesucht. Der Gastauftritt von Lance Bass hat auch gut gepasst. Ist auf jeden Fall eine tolle Geschichte die erzählt wird.

Nur dämlich!
Der Film ist einfach nur dämlich! 90 Minuten Schwachsinn. Selten so einen schlechten Film gesehen, in welchem alle Rollen nur Klischee sind. Einer der wenigen Filme, bei dem ich überlegt habe, abzuschalten.
