“Spoiler Alert” features a stellar ensemble cast, including Jim Parsons, Ben Aldridge, Sally Field and Bill Irwin.
Love never stops surprising you. Even when you know how it ends.
Based on Michael Ausiello’s best-selling memoir, “Spoiler Alert” is a heartwarming, funny and life-affirming story of how Michael and Kit’s relationship is transformed and deepened when one of them falls ill.
“Spoiler Alert” – directed by Michael Showalter – closely follows “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies,” which Ausiello wrote in the wake of his husband Kit Cowan’s death from colorectal cancer, at age 42. Bringing the couple’s 13-year relationship to life on screen are actors Jim Parsons, as the TV-obsessed Michael, and Ben Aldridge, as the dashing photographer Kit. Together, they chart the highs and lows of the couple’s early romance, honeymoon phase, contentious later years and difficult-but-love-filled final days.
