This movie has to be one of the saddest films ever made. It's right up there along side "Steel Magnolias". I myself cried 30 minutes into the movie. Eric Roberts gives an all out performance as a gay male who... Full review

This movie to me as a hetrosexual is amazing. Yet I wonder if to a homosexual it is a true reality. But with that I can say I did enjoy all parts of this movie even when it did seem very... Full review

What a marvelous acting and storyline. It helps to promote some understanding on gay relationship rather than all those stereotyped ones. The way Eric Robert played his part was great. it reduced my family to tears to see him dying... Full review

I really loved the story line in this movie but I think it would have been better played by a different actor than Roberts. It seems as though he is trying to over do the gay mannerisms in order to avoid... Full review

In this case, the movie was excellent, rather than good. But looking good doesn't really tell you if the movie "was" good. The vocals and music were very clear as well with a great soundtrack. ... Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
You very well may cry during "It's My Party," a film in which a man discovers he has only a few days to live before a Kaposi's sarcoma lesion on his brain will turn his mind to mush. Like "Showgirls" and "Waterworld," Kleiser's "It's My Party" is the one must-see film of the season because you have to check it out for yourself in order to understand just how bad it is. ...

San Francisco Chronicle
A touching, urgent performance by Eric Roberts injects this mushy, contrived movie with its only real vitality. By contrast, his cautious, emotionally repressed old lover seems like a dolt, and Harrison's performance is wooden. ... Full Review

Film Freak Central
As various gay archetypes congregate with the usual suspects (Margaret Cho, Roddy McDowall, Olivia Newton-John, and a horrible Bronson Pinchot) to weep piteously and struggle through Kleiser's horrible dialogue, it becomes clear that It's My Party means well and is doubtless deeply personal, but it offers very little in the form of anything particularly edifying or insightful. ...

Nick attempts to make peace with his mother and father ( Lee Grant and George Segal ), who had difficulty accepting their son's lifestyle, and he enjoys a last laugh with his close friends, until Brandon -- who is hardly welcomed by the group -- shows up. ... Full Review
