    • Trivia
      All of the actors recreate their stage roles with the exception of Nathan Lane, who was replaced by Jason Alexander. Lane was, at the time, tied to the Broadway revival of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," which ran between 1996-1998 and relied heavily upon his drawing power to meet its weekly nut.

      The play's theater company is mistyped in the credits as "Manattan Theatre Club"
    • Quotes

      John Jeckyll: [to his twin brother, James] There are so many things I've never said to you. Things we've never spoken about. I don't want to wait until it's too late to say them... I resent you. I resent everything about you. You had Mom and Dad's unconditional love, now you have the world's. How could I not envy that? I wish I could say it was because you're so much better looking than me. No, the real pain is that it's something so much harder to bear. You got the good soul; I got the bad one. Think about leaving me yours... So, what's your secret? The secret to unconditional love, I'm not going to let you die with it.

    The Gay 'Stand by Me'
    I have to wholehearted disagree that this film is disappointing. I found the characters interesting and deep. Yes - the gay men approach stereotypical roles in some instances, but they are developed over the course of the summer in a manner that mimics the boys in "Stand by Me". We see the changes in the relationships between nearly every pairing of the eight men. Some are in relationships; some were. Some hate each other; but they nearly all care about one another. This is the kind of movie that makes you reflect on your own human interactions. You don't have to be HIV+, a choreographer, a yuppie, a broadway queen, or even gay to see yourself in these characters. This is a fine exhibition of love, lust, friendship, and life.
