CGiii Comment
For a TV movie – it’s not that bad.
Considering when it was made, it is a brave attempt at showing the discrimination and hatred experienced by PWAs.
It is not a subtle approach – in fact, it whacks you in the face without any mercy whatsoever.
Quaid, a lout, and Stolz, the academic – share an apartment and the rest is as predictable as putting two of any extremes together.
It is sentimental...but, that seems to be an unavoidable norm when dealing with this subject.
Worth seeing.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The story of a macho straight and a well-educated gay man who have to share an apartment at a half-way house for aids-patients. Slowly they become friends.
