With all the hateful invective these characters hurl at each other at times, it's hard to understand why they're even friends, not to mention lovers. Still, the moments that are touching, and there are some, are the ones that explicitly deal with how gay men of the time dealt with savage, inevitable oncoming deaths of their friends and themselves from AIDS.

Doesn't really step away from the (very good) play it's based on, so it feels stagy. Some really nice moments and hot Randy Becker nudity don't take away the bummer of it all.

What is it that lead a conspicuously straight male to sit and watch this you ask? I was driving to the rental store (nostalgia) when I came across two girls from my high school. I picked them up, we went to the store together, they picked this out, and we watched it at one of their places. This is the part where anyone else on Earth would start telling you something awesome. I, on the other hand, have nothing more to add.
