Just who is this film aimed at?
Review date: 2008-01-14 Rating: 4 out of 10

I really can't fathom it out, but I can warn any lesbian viewers in search of a nice cosy night in with a groovy DVD to AVOID THIS FILM! It's truly appalling, so much so that I've given it 2 stars for so-bad-it's-almost-funny cringe value.
To confirm what other reviewers have said, the lead character, Gray, is totally lacking in credibility. Perhaps she imagines herself as a cutprice Goldie Hawn only without Goldie's acting ability. or charisma. or timing.
It's not credible enough to be a gay film, not well-acted enough to be a good mainstream rom-com, and has no sex scenes so will diappoint sleazier viewers. Which is why I ask - who is it for?

This film made me angry
Review date: 2007-12-31 Rating: 2 out of 10

I have never seen a film so astonishingly bad. The whole thing is a total disaster. We are expected to believe that the brother and his fiance decide to get married after 6 days of knowing eachother, and that everyone gets along so fabulously that Gray and the fiance decided to take a bath together again, 6 days after they first meet....then we are expected to believe that in a city as vast as NYC, Gray happens to get the same cab driver twice in 1 week and that she trusts him well enough to spill her entire life story to him and go with him to his apartment. As if all of that was not bad enough, we are expected to believe all of this through the fog of some of the worst dialogue ever commited to film. It really really makes me angry that people have invested time and money in something so breathtakingly awful, and nobody stops to say 'hold on, this is terrible..lets just not make this disaster of a film'. I'm not a gay person, but if I were I think I would find the film offensive rather than positve for the gay rights movement. No offense to the other reviewers, but anyone that gave this more than 1 star probably also thinks that 'maid in Manhattan' should be an oscar contender. The only redeeming feature of this film is that it's worth seeing just to see how disgustingly bad one film can be.

I've seen worse but definitely seen better movies than this. It is unbelievably cheesy and some of the lines just made me cringe. I suppose if you like chic flicks this might be right up your alley. There's just no magic and the end is a bit 'in the air'. I felt the best bit of acting was from the cabby who befriends Gray and tries to help her on her road of self discovery and also her therapist... both of whom are actually funny.



Just Didn't Work...
Review date: 2007-08-13 Rating: 6 out of 10

...on so many levels - and what a shame, because Heather Graham is really very good (timing, line delivery, generally BEING the character) but Bridget Moynahan? Wooden (although I feel the need to apologise to trees, benches and pencils for comparing them to her) is her at her best. She just seems to be used as the proverbial "manequin", and what I mean by that is: she could literally be replaced by one and you wouldn't notice the difference. IF you can ignore her awfully wooden line delivery and the no chemistry she has with everyone then this is not a terible movie. It's good for a laugh just do not expect a long lasting memory of the experience. To sum up: if you've got nothing else to watch them give it a go.

Let's Face The Music And Dance!!
Review date: 2007-08-13 Rating: 10 out of 10

It's really great to see yet another up-beat lesbian-ish themed rom-com type movie around, following up from 'Imagine Me & You' and 'Nina's Heavenly Delights', of course.

Gray Matters immerses itself in a little music and dancing along the way, keeping the story light and fluffy in places, whilst dealing with Heather Graham's character, Gray, realising she is gay.

The two lead female characters are absolutely gorgeous, and provide many moments you can relate to as well as laugh out loud to.

If you love a good rom-com, with a bit of dancing & moonlight & love & romance thrown in, then this one's for you!
