SummaryKiss Me Guido puts lifestyles on a comic collision course. One hilarious mix-up follows another as straight-arrow Frankie (Scotti), a pizza maker from the Bronx, comes to terms with Greenwich Village gay culture -- and his new roomie, actor/choreographer Warren (Barrile), comes to terms with Frankie.

It's a bouncy, occasionally awkward diversion with sharply written characters and good actors.
60
A bright, snappy culture-clash farce in the mode of "Desperately Seeking Susan" and its ilk, Kiss Me, Guido plays gay and Italian-American stereotypes against one another to good-natured, crowd-pleasing results.
60
Manages to have playful comic ingenuity of its own.
50
Clumsy and amateurish. But it's also occasionally quite charming, and ultimately more commendable for what it ISN'T than worthy of censure for being nothing more than an inconsequential comedy.
50
A movie with a lot of funny one-liners, but no place to go with them.
40
If spelling out stereotypes were inherently funny the movie would be a hoot.

That crack in Vitale's storytelling foundation would be forgivable if the writing, acting and character epiphanies . . . well, existed. As it is, not even Scotti's formidable lips can blow life into this stillborn flick.
