All the Rage had its world premiere at the Castro Theatre during the San Francisco International Film Festival of 1997, after which it was released theatrically in the U.S. by Jour de Fete, a division of Rialto Pictures. In 2001, Strand Releasing brought the film out on DVD; in 2003, it was released internationally by Media Luna, GHB.

Hailed by Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas as "One of the sharpest, sexiest and most amusing satires of gay life and values ever filmed,"[1] it is widely considered a hallmark of the Queer Independent Film movement of the late 1990s. This unique aspect of the film was highlighted in one of its first reviews by Dennis Harvey, who wrote about the film for Variety.[2]

The film features music by a number of indie artists, including Merle Perkins, who recorded the song "Military Man".[3]
