The film follows the relationship between Bob and Brendan, roommates atGeorge Washington University inWashington, D.C., five years after Bob made his romantic feelings toward Brendan known. When the two reconnect at the wedding of college friends, Bob is in a serious relationship with a soap opera star Sterling Scott, while Brendan is single and re-examining his own identity.
In an interview withIndieWire, director Brian Sloan said, "I wrote a ten page treatment first and from there I started writing the script. It took me about three weeks to get the first draft. I get very nervous sitting at the computer and not doing anything, so I work very fast when I actually sit down to work. Then in the course of three years, I went through ten drafts. The hardest thing about going through ten drafts during that time was to get all the characters to connect. To find a balance between all the couples and to make the different story lines work together."[3] Filming would take place inNew Jersey[3] andWashington, D.C.
I Think I Do grossed $345,478 while in theaters during 1998, only having been released in 10 theaters.[4] OnRotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 42% from 31 reviews.[5] In her review, Anita Gates ofThe New York Times claimed that the film requires "a taste for pointed, topical humor and a particular brand of clever conversation"[6] and that "The characters are uniformly funny and sympathetic, and you want all of them to find the right person and be happy."[6]
