It's My Party

wow after watching this trust me their will not be a dry eye in the place. a man finds out he has tested positive for AIDS, and he only has so long to live,, he tells his partner,, who doesn't really take it that well, as time passes we see what slowly starts to happen to our main character,, played by Eric Roberts. His lover leaves him in a quarrel, and now we pick up the story a year later, when he learns from the doctor that he only has a few days to live. after that sombering news he decides to have a farewell party for his family and friends, he invites everyone that has touched his life,, and a few people show up uninvited also, which thickens the plot,, including his former lover who tries to make peace with Nick. there are many Hollywood stars in this Bronson Pinchot, Bruce Davison, Olivia Newton John , Roddy Macdowell,, and many many other, too numerous too mention,, this is an engrossing movie and you better have a box of Kleenex handy.. you will need it.

This movie was a major tearjerker. It wasn't about homosexuality, or AIDS, but about anyone who is dying and must make a decision on whether to fade away and become a person they are not or let go of everything and settle their business. Eric Roberts is unlike I have ever seen him before; he is touching. I really do think this film is excellant and you anyone should try watching it sometime. It is rather long and you do begin to feel as thou you are a part of his family and eventually you'll cry.

This was a very good tearjerker movie. Everybody in this movie gives an oscar calibre performance. I think that Eric Roberts, Gregory Harrison, and Lee Grant derserved an oscar nomination for this movie. Eric Roberts gives a performance of a lifetime. This is his best movie in his career. I cry everytime I watch this movie. This was better than beaches. This is the movie that deserve alot of oscar nominations.

I can't believe this movie was made 10 years ago and I never even heard of it before the other day. I was out of town on business, and the hotel I stayed in had Showtime. I fell asleep with the TV on one night, and woke up around 1:30 a.m. This movie was just coming on and it grabbed me immediately. I stayed up and watched the whole thing! I thought it was very well acted and was surprised at the cast of characters. It certainly was a tearjerker, but there were lots of laughs thrown in. I've not seen a lot of movies featuring homosexual relationships, much less ones that were more than a source of a lot of jokes. This one was very touching and I found myself rooting for the characters to work things out.

I would totally recommend this movie for anyone looking to see something a little out of the ordinary.

It's My Party is truly one of the best movies I've ever seen. The two main actors were amazingly believable as gay men and the supporting cast was good too. It will make you understand how important life is and how important friends and family are. If you like sit-down movies, this one is for you. I cried for about 3/4 of it.
