This film is based on a true incident. The story of a terminally ill man who choses to end his life on his own terms, but throws a grand "farewell party" to be with his family and close friends one more time. Marvelous performances by a wonderful cast, featuring Eric Roberts, Gregory Harrison, Lee Grant, Olivia Newton-John, Bronson Pinchot, Margaret Cho and Marlee Matlin. Incredibly moving, "It's My Party" is a story of the many different aspects of love. Well worth viewing!

A window into the world of the AIDS epidemic. There was no cure; there was no effective treatment. Quality of life became the determining factor for many people suffering from terminal illnesses.

This is a good movie with a great cast. It's the story of a gay couple, and although it has some comical parts, it's actually a sad movie.
