The romance that opens Touch Me is clumsy and stiff, but when the plot takes a crucial turn, the movie becomes a surprisingly affecting portrait of coping with illness. Brigitte (Amanda Peet) is an aspiring actress who's just begun seeing Adam (Michael Vartan), the owner of the health club where she teaches yoga. Suddenly her world is turned upside down by the news that an old boyfriend is dying of AIDS--and she soon learns that she herself is HIV positive. She sinks into depression and denial and rejects her relationship with Adam, despite his sincere attempts to move forward with their relationship. Touch Me isn't the most crisply written movie in the world, but its depiction of life with the HIV virus has some genuine grit to it and can be quite moving. Also featuring Greg Louganis. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See Buried Treasure Romance, October 14, 2002

By	carol irvin "c.k. irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I think many viewers have avoided this film because they know HIV is in the plotline. We are used to movies about HIV and AIDS being movies about death and dying. However, this movie deals with HIV present day where one can be leading a life and be kept in fairly good health with the right medical care. The issues this person faces are entirely different from those faced back when HIV and AIDS hit the planet decades ago. Chief among those issues is whether one can have a love life, a romance, a career or children if one has been infected with HIV. This movie grapples with all these issues in a romance between the characters played by the wonderfully charismatic duo of Amanda Peet and Michael Vartan. This film is NOT a downer in any sense of the word. It remains utterly faithful to the romance genre and you will love it every step of the way if you love the genre. Women will adore Vartan as a leading man and men will adore Peet as the leading lady. You can't lose.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Than I Expected...., February 9, 2003

By	Ellen T. (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Touch ME [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I read the outline of this movie I frankly thought it would be depressing and only decided to watch because of the two stars. However, once the plotline got going it became a truly gripping story that had me glued to my seat waiting for the "happy ending" that seemed impossible half way through. For those hopelessly romantics out there - this is the movie for you! (Michael Vartan isn't to bad on the eyes either!) Enjoy!!
