Synopsis

When the condom breaks in the middle of sex, the terrified Jeffrey concludes that it's high time to protect himself from AIDS by swearing off sex for good. However, the minute he makes this decision, he walks into the gym and spies the beautiful Steve, pumping iron and ready for an intimate encounter. And every time the newly celibate Jeffrey rejects Steve's provocative advances, it becomes a little harder to say no. Soon, Jeffrey realizes that Steve is the man of his dreams... until he finds out that his beloved is HIV positive.

Critics' reviews

"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."

Edward Guthmann: SFgate
"Rudnick, adapting his off-Broadway hit, deftly blends uproarious fun and touching gravity."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"It's more a series of sketches and momentary inspirations than a story that grows interesting. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"While this may sound intriguing, the picture merely jumps around clumsily from incident to incident."

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
"If nothing else, Rudnick and director Christopher Ashley know how to keep the audience off balance and in stitches."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"It is startling that such a funny play is not so funny a movie."

USA Today
Warm and witty, but short on stamina."

David Parkinson: Empire
