This universal romantic comedy about the quest for true love centers on two 20-something opposites thrown together by their respective best friends in the hopes of igniting a romance. Writer Dan Bucatinsky stars as the Jewish son of sensitivety group psychologists and RRichard Ruccolo (Two Guys and a Girl) plays his reluctant, Bruce Willis-esque soulmake. Refreshing for its depiction of a central couple who just happen to be gay, All Over the Guy focuses on troubles of the heart common to homosexual and heterosexual relationships alike. Executive produced by Don Roos (the gay writer/director of The Opposite of Sex), the film features Sasha Alexander (Twin Falls Idaho), Adam Goldberg (Saving Private Ryan), Lisa Kudrow, Christina Ricci, and Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond).

Neither sensational nor sentimental, the remarkable Southern Comfort is a documentary about 52-year-old female-to-male transsexual Robert Eads who, dying of cervical and ovarian cancer, is neglected by doctors uncomfortable with treating him. “A hillbilly and proud of it,” Robert cuts a striking figure in his home in the Georgia black hills, where he falls deeply in love with male-to-female transsexual Lola Cola. Director Kate Davis functioned as a one-person crew in order to intimately capture this rare blend of humor, romance, and tragedy. Even though Southern Comfort (the title refers to a support group peopled by Eads and his transgender friends) is as much about generosity, courage, and tolerance as it is about a potentially discomfitting subject, the film sent shock waves through the Sundance Film Festival where it won the award for Best Documentary Film. As Eads tries to find help for his condition, his resolute kindness, dignity and compassion in the face of adversity help him build a community of friends and gives Southern Comfort its punch.
