    It's only taken iTunes FOREVER to get this movie. I don't know what it is about this movie that makes me love it, I was only 11 when it came out... 29 when I discovered it in a quest for "good" gay cinema... What I found instead was a slew of low quality trash films with obnoxious and repetitive plot lines and typical "coming out" or "romantic comedy/drama" stories... This movie stands out among the low budget movies I found... Is there romance? Maybe, not really, but there's something... Is there anger? Definitely.... It's not your typical "I'm gay with HIV, whatever shall I do" storyline... But more of a F*U* to the stereotypes associated with people who contracted the virus in the 80's and early 90's.... While not without its flaws, the movie never pretends to be perfect, and you can't have high production value expectations for gay themed movies from this generation, most are made on a pocket change budget but this one is definitely worth watching. You won't be disappointed!
