|  #1 Posted on 6.9.04 1806.11 | Instant Rating: 8.00 | Hello! I had a customer at my video store who was looking for a movie -- she can't remember the title -- and I can't figure out which movie it is.
1) It's about a woman and her gay friend, and a man and *his* gay friend, and they all meet and some or all of them hook up. (She says that it is not the Madonna / Rupert Everett film.)
2) It has an actor in it who "played the 'evil boss' in 'Will & Grace.'" She doesn't know the name of the actor. I've never really watched the show, and I have no idea which boss is the "evil boss" or who plays him.
Any ideas, anyone? Thanks for your help, in advance.

ETA: Actually, I don't think Aniston has a girlfriend in that movie...

The movie MIGHT be Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her, but I can't guarantee it.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Didn't see the show enough to notice whether Gregory Hines was "evil" (and I consider Megan as Karen to play a doof more than an evil boss).
Gregory Hines was in The Preacher's Wife, which struck me as a romantic comedy, which isn't what you're asking about so I guess I'll move on now.
Edit: Or I can be a couple of minutes late and pointing at the wrong movie. :)

| #6 Posted on 7.9.04 0449.42 | Instant Rating: 8.00 | Thanks for the suggestions, guys. The plot to "Affection" seems closest, but somehow not close enough.
I did some poking through IMDB and I think All Over the Guy (us.imdb.com) is the closest match I can find plot-wise (the gender proportions look right; I should've specified *male* gay friends in my original post).
Again, no one from "Will & Grace" is in it, but the customer could very well be confused, or IMDB might not have a complete cast list for "W&G."
Any chance anyone's seen it?

Actually, I was going to suggest "All Over the Guy" (really, I swear!). Adam Goldberg (us.imdb.com) is in the movie, and, according to tvtome.com, he once played an evil boss-type character on "Will and Grace".
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth released a new series of ads claiming that John Kerry was not a Swift Boat captain, there were no Swift Boats in Vietnam, and the Swift Boat itself is not swift.

God, I've seen all the Will & Grace's waaaaaaaay too much.
