In the following review, I'm not going to tell the plot of this wonderful, warm movie because almost everyone else on this board has told highlights of the plot. However I'm going to tell you what this fillm means to me on a personal level.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a movie I view when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm depressed, when I'm discontented,, when I'm contented when I'm grumpy, when I'm feeling older than god, etc.--in other words, no matter what state of mind I'm in, this movie makes me feel better, happier and yes, even younger. (By the way, I'm a whole lot older than the characters in the movie.) I really can't say how many time I've viewed "I Think I Do" it must be, going on, at least, a hundred times. I love all of the characters. It's just an integral part of my life. In the course of a day, I'm forever thinking of some line from the film that I particularly like and find amusing (e.g., "Advil and sleep" "Oh Bob, I'm scared, you've been writing for that soap-opera too long" "So making out in the bathroom is what you call romantic? It would've been if you hadn't been moving around so much" "your ex-father will arrive at..." "Whatever you say, pokey-bear" etc. You'll have to see the movie to be able to relate and find out what context those quotes are in, and I'm sure you'll find your own funny lines to remember.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants a little romance, warmth and/or fantasy in his/her life (or just to feel good) by getting acquainted with a lovable group of wonderful friends where gay and straight get along and care about each other no matter what his/her respective sexual orientation happens to be. To me the group of characters in "I Think I Do" are every bit as funny (if not funnier) as the characters on the television sit-com "Friends"; however, the characters in the film are far more diverse--ethnically and sexually. One thing for sure, they handle the gay issue far better than the television group does. No one is "put-down" for being gay or appearing to be gay--no cheap shots at gay people.
Each actor is wonderful in his or her role being far funnier and likeable than any of the actors in the above-mentioned sit-com. The stand-out is Guilermo Diaz (he also starred in "Stonewall") as Eric. The actress that plays Beth is also one of my favorites. Frankly, I like them all!! I just wish, in my youth, I had a group of friends like those portrayed in this movie. Maybe I'm reliving my youth a little (or at least a fantasy thereof), by repeated viewings of this film.
The critics felt this movie was a 1990's version of a 1930's slapstick romantic comedy where "boy gets girl"; however, in this movie "boy gets boy". The gay romance is interwoven seamlessly into the fabric of the film occurring at the same time as a heterosexual wedding. It makes for a wonderful, delightful fun-filled romp of fun and laughter.
