Title: Cliches from the word go
Product review: This film adaptation of Terrance McNally's play is full of stereotypes and cliches. Following the gatherings of 8 gay men and their vacations together at a lake house, the film claims to examine how they struggle with such issues as AIDS and loss. Instead we get Buzz, a stereotyped gay man with a limp wrist and a fixation for show tunes - his camp act clearly aimed at getting laughs from a straight audience.Then there is a completely insipid sub plot about two twins that is so contrived it is painful to watch. Such a pity when gay themed movies end up perpetuating gay stereotypes and cliches.
