在这部爱心派对剧情片中,兰德尔．克莱泽编导的感人文艺片，将积极的人生态度和励志精神导入爱滋病题材之中，尤其强调“死亡要有尊严"的主题，因此不能以单纯的同性恋电影视之。埃里克．罗伯斯饰演男主角尼克斯塔克，他在检查爱滋病呈现阳性反应之后，男朋友布兰登离他而去，但本来跟他很疏远的父亲却尽力跟他恢复父子亲情。当尼克终于决定要吞食安眠药自杀之前，他决定邀请亲朋友好友参加一个为期两天的告别派对，向他们珍重道别。埃里克．罗伯斯的低调演出十分感人，演父亲的乔治．西格尔和男朋友的格利高里．哈里森也相当精彩。不过在最后派对中出现太多人物，其中的一些角色显得有些多余。
"You won't leave me, will you?" Nick asks Brandon shortly after revealing to him the results of his last blood test for HIV. "I don't want to die alone." In spite of Brandon's protestations, the two soon find the love they had shared for many years in ruins. One year after their breakup, Nick is confronted with a ravaged immune system and a CT Scan and lab values which, along with his worsening forgetfulness, clenches the diagnosis of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) -- a condition he has seen claim his friends and one which he vows will not take him. Due to the aggressive nature of the disease, he has only a few days of conscious life remaining. His plan, he announces to family and "extended family," is to voluntarily end his life himself before the disease renders him unrecognizable to those he loves and he, in turn, is unable to recognize them. Uninvited to the farewell party, Brandon's presence is greeted with jeers from those who see him as having abandoned Nick is his time of greatest need.
这是最让我心酸的电影。评价这个片子的难道都是gay吗？。50岁才是真正适合谈恋爱的年纪。
