Parting Words (2007) Reviews

An infatuation that's simmered for decades suddenly goes on the boil under very unusual circumstances in this independent comedy-drama. Vince (Joe Narciso), Nick (Nicholas Giordano) and Eddie (Kevin Kash) are three guys who have been close friends since childhood and still hang out together despite the demands of work, wives and kids. All three of the guys had a crush on Laura (Elizabeth Regen), a girl from the neighborhood, but she seemed too beautiful to be available, and they all ended up becoming close friends with her instead of getting involved romantically. When the four find themselves together at a friend's wedding, Laura makes a startling announcement to the guys -- she's been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and before she dies, she wants to sleep with each of them. Vince, Nick and Eddie are all shocked and surprised by the news, and are torn between their desire to fulfill old fantasies, jealousies over having to share Laura with their friends, and the realities that they're all married men who ought to remain faithful to their wives. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
