Terrence McNally's Tony award-winning play, a perceptive, often hilarious look and love and life in the AIDS era, is so sharply written and bluntly entertaining that it almost overcomes Joe Mantell's static direction, which is too theatrical.

Emanuel Levy, Variety
Rotten

Outdoor settings alone do not a movie make, though director Joe Mantello (who also directed the play) seems to be trying.
