It’s My Party

A GATHERING OF FRIENDS. A GIFT OF LOVE. A CELEBRATION OF LIFE.

itsmypartyNick Stark (Eric Roberts) learns that he has HIV; after deciding that he wants to end his life, he throws a big farewell party for friends and former lovers. Finally, Roberts gets a project worthy of his talent. There may be a lot of inferior action movies in his past, but he’s a fine actor and really good in this bittersweet, depressing but engaging drama. Aptly titled considering the lyrics of that song; I did find the film moving, but it does fall somewhat in the shadow of The Big Chill and Peterā€™s Friends. The supporting cast is entertaining, including Bronson Pinchot, and George Segal as Nickā€™s alcoholic father.

1996-U.S. 109 min. Color. Written and directed byĀ Randal Kleiser. Cast: Eric Roberts (Nick Stark), Gregory Harrison (Brandon Theis), Margaret Cho (Charlene Lee), Bruce Davison, Lee Grant, Devon Gummersallā€¦ Marlee Matlin, Roddy McDowall, Olivia Newton-John, Bronson Pinchot, George Segal, Sally Kellerman.Ā
