Purportedly true story of the stormy 6 year relationship between Liberace (Michael Douglas ) and his much younger lover Scott Thorson (Matt Damon). OK--Douglas looks nothing like Liberace but sounds just like him and got the mannerisms down pat. Damon is far too old to be playing Thorson--Damon is in his 40s and looks it--Thorson was about 20 when he met Liberace. But if u can ignore those leaps of logic u might like this.
Personally I don't like Liberace. It's not because he's gay (I am too) but he was WAY too flamboyant and ugly. He was a talented pianist though. Still I found the movie interesting. It shows a realistic gay relationship and doesn't shy back from sex and nudity. Also Douglas was great in the role. I've never thought Damon was a good actor and this movie doesn't change my mind. Still he has his moments and u gotta give him credit for wearing some VERY revealing outfits throughout the movie and doing a few nude scenes (back view only). Also in the movie very briefly are Rob Lowe (as a doctor) and Dan Aykroyd (as Liberace's lawyer) but they hardly matter. Scott Bakula and Debbie Reynolds pop up too both looking unrecognizable as a friend of Thorson's and Liberace's mother.
