As written by Paul Rudnick (Premiere's Libby Gelman-Waxner), this is a mildly amusing but unsuccessful vignettish attempt to make a gay comedy about AIDS in which the characters' exuality is outfront, exuberant, and unapologetic.

A miscast lead, but Patrick Stewart makes it all worthwhile.

Outstanding comedy. Effectively portrays the romance of gay relationships, with a Woody Allen tone of comedy.

It's not a total bust, and some of the performances are charming, but it never matches the gleeful, irreverent mischief it had on stage.

A warm and humorous -- as well as a sad and moving -- exploration of all-too-human relationships.

If you think Priest got people's dander up, Jeffrey will have them running for their Saturday night specials, snickersnees, and heart pills.

Rudnick, adapting his off-Broadway hit, deftly blends uproarious fun and touching gravity.

Wildly uneven, and it aims at the lowest common denominator in its exceedingly broad comedy.

A charming, proudly old-fashioned screwball comedy.

A clever, biting and funny movie about gay love in the age of AIDS.

Some of this is amusing but most simply isn't funny enough to support off-the-wall antics laced with poignancy.

Warm and witty, but short on stamina.

While this may sound intriguing, the picture merely jumps around clumsily from incident to incident.
