Its My Party
Writer/director Randal Kleiser (Grease) creates a genuine family feeling (Roger Ebert) with this moving and poignant film about friendship that is especially brave, funny and heartbreaking (Rex Reed). Eric Roberts gives a touching, urgent performance (San Francisco Chronicle) as part of an outstanding ensemble cast, which includes Margaret Cho, Lee Grant, Gregory Harrison, Marlee Matlin, Olivia Newton-John, Bronson Pinchot, George Segal and Roddy McDowall. Nick's three-year battle with AIDS is about to come to a close. Rather than face debilitation, he chooses to end his life, but first he decides to throw the greatest farewell party of all time. As friends and family gather for this bittersweet celebration, something incredible happens. It's a two-day long, uplifting, outrageous and life-affirming party that is ultimately Nick's final but everlasting legacy.
