It's not a total bust, and some of the performances are charming, but it never matches the gleeful, irreverent mischief it had on stage.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

Overview
Jeffrey, a gay man living in New York City with an overwhelming fear of contracting AIDS, concludes that being celibate is the only option to protect himself. As fate would have it, shortly after his declaration of a sex-free existence, he meets the handsome Steve Howard, his dream man -- except for his HIV-positive status. Facing this dilemma, Jeffrey turns to his best friend and an outrageous priest for guidance.

Rudnick, adapting his off-Broadway hit, deftly blends uproarious fun and touching gravity.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
Wildly uneven, and it aims at the lowest common denominator in its exceedingly broad comedy.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
While this may sound intriguing, the picture merely jumps around clumsily from incident to incident.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

If nothing else, Rudnick and director Christopher Ashley know how to keep the audience off balance and in stitches.
