Based on the play by Terrence McNally

Stellar, heartfelt performances compensate for a mawkish script that doesn't play that well on the big screen. Eight well-heeled gay men gather for three summer weekends at a lakeside New York farmhouse to relax, reflect and plan for survival in an era plagued by AIDS. Alexander tones down the HIV-positive, musical-theater queen Buzz, who was played flamboyantly by Nathan Lane in the stage production.
