Here are some lovely quotes that I particulary like from the critics.
"Graham takes this starring role and charms the roller skates off the audience."
Victoria Alexander, FilmsInReview.com
"Stealing every scene in which he appears, Alan Cumming twinkles" Steven Holden, New York Times
"Cavanagh and Graham well demonstrating their comic skills and Moynahan looking suitably gorgeous as the object of their desire." Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
"The camera never strays far from Graham, who, decked out in well-fitted outfits that make the most of her anything-but-boyish figure, sweetly leavens her heroine's ditzy sexual confusion without trivializing or overly normalizing it."
"Pic revels in sprightly exchanges between the siblings, Graham and Cavanagh displaying a light, fanciful touch for comic timing" Ronnie Scheib, Variety
"Gray Matters is ultimately a film of inclusion, that timeless story where love knows no barriers" Brett Leigh Dicks, Santa Barbara Independent






I think the critics had a corn cob up their arse when they reviewed "Gray Matters." I adored this film, and have seen it a couple of times already. I mean, why can't they see it for the cute coming out story that it is?

This week alone I've logged 300+ readers to my blog. I could be an outlet for the people who are in Oklahoma, and surrounding areas, that are unable to go to a theater to see this movie and may not know about the movie's DVD release, when it happens. I can be huge marketing device. Contact me.

Whoops!! Miscalculated from memory, it's currently 224 readers to my blog this week; that's still an enormous response.

Gray Matters proves to be one of the blandest films I have ever seen. It's dull, predictable, unfunny, poorly acted and poorly written. Nothing about it felt real and everything was very cheesy. Also, this isn't really a romantic comedy with a special twist but more of a "coming out" movie. Sue Kramer tried to make the first half cute with the romantic stuff and the second half serious with the actual acceptance and coming out part. Unfortunately, she failed miserably. The first half was largely unfunny and only Heather Graham was able to hold it up a little. Then, the film took an awkward tone and got all serious. The serious scenes were handled poorly and all of the emotions just felt phony.
I guess I would have enjoyed the film a little more if the relationships between the characters felt more authentic. The brother and sister relationship was very very weak and they didn't really appear to be that close. Their relationship just didn't feel very natural. Also, the relationship between Tom and Bridget felt very unnatural. If two people are going to get married after only knowing each other for less than a week, then you would expect to see a little more excitement but the characters talked about getting married in Vegas in the same manner of asking a waiter what the specials are, Which is really idiotic stupid dumb retarded moronic idiot retard foolish ridiculous moron silly ignorant annoying weird absurd. There is a lack of excitement in the film and it was hard to get involved with the movie with such unmotivated characters.
The acting was mostly weak which was a bit surprising given the decent cast. Heather Graham gave the only good performance in the movie. She was funny and had a few charming scenes but it's too bad that all of her co-stars were complete duds. Bridget Moynahan was very weak and her performance ringed false on every level. Also, it seemed like she was reading her lines. Thomas Cavanagh was pretty wooden and he showed nearly no emotion. The chemistry between Thomas and Heather was non existent and that damaged the film because their relationship felt phony. I can usually rely on Molly Shannon to be funny in a supporting role but here she was just annoying. Sissy Spacek had about two scenes and she was annoying in both of them. Finally, Alan Cumming just had an embarrassing character and his performance wasn't very good. Overall, Gray Matters is a lame film and it isn't worth watching. This movie really SUCKS!

I have been trying to locate 2 of the songs heard in the background of the movie while they were having dinner. I watched the credits to obtain the names and this is what I saw:
Songs:
Yo Soy El Son
Bailia Mi Cumbia
Artist:
Harry Scorzo/Frameworks
These songs are not listed on the soundtrack for the movie and I can not find them! Help?!!

Well Taylor, at least the quotes that were listed here were good. I haven't read any others, so I can't comment, but based on these critics seem to be liking the film.
