DVD Synopsis

Based on Paul Rudnick's hit Off-Broadway play, this romantic comedy centers on the chaotic love life of Jeffrey (Steven Weber), a gay man who swears off sex only to fall in love with his ideal man (Michael T. Weiss). Jeffrey's vow of chastity is inspired by a fear of AIDS, a prospect which has started to terrify him so much that he decides he'd be better off never making love again. He is happy and relieved for a time, until he meets Steve, a handsome, charming dreamboat who also happens to be HIV-positive. Jeffrey wants nothing more than to be with Steve, but his anxiety over the disease and fear of commitment stand in the way. Much of the humor falls to Jeffrey's friends, including the sharp-tongued Sterling (Patrick Stewart), an outwardly catty but surprisingly good-hearted interior decorator, and his young boyfriend Darius (Bryan Batt), a performer in the Broadway musical Cats. Nathan Lane also contributes a memorable cameo as a questionable priest. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Jennifer C. from RODNEY, MI wrote on 10/6/2009...

It's hard to remember today the feeling of panic in the air about HIV and the AIDS virus that was endemic when this movie was made. But perhaps watching this movie and trying to get a sense of that fear again would be good for today's generation, who have been lulled into complacency and are again participating in high risk activities that could lead to a new surge in the disease.

That said, the real reason to watch this movie is Patrick Stewart as a swishy interior designer. If everything else in this movie failed (which it doesn't), his character alone would still make it worth watching.
