One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I met Jeffrey quite by accident, when I was searching frantically for anything by the late cabaret singer, Nancy Lamott, whose "On the Way to your Heart" is a brief, but outstanding song among many in the film. Nowhere could I find that she had recorded this song to CD, so I purchased the movie, just to obtain the song. What a terrific find in every way! The story and performances are wonderful, and every piece of the music is to die for. (I later located and purchased a CD of the Jeffrey soundtrack, and also bought another copy of the movie - as much as I have watched and re-watched, the first one is sure to wear out!) While I don't think Jeffrey is considered a "musical" in the true sense of the word, I would classify it as that, just because the music is such an integral part of the story and serves as a perfect bridge from one scene to the next.If you are a Nancy Lamott fan or just love great music (there is also an especially memorable performance by Connie Petruk, among others), I highly recommend you look into Jeffrey. For me the movie was a bonus; a real treat that I didn't even think I'd be interested in. It's now one of my all-time favorites and I'd love to let everyone in on it, not only because it's a great movie, but also to continue to share the musical legacy of the beautiful and amazing Nancy Lamott, whom I discovered only about two months before her untimely death in late 1995. Get the movie (and the music). You won't be disappointed.

This is a very silly movie. If you don't think that a movie about AIDS can be silly, you need to see this movie. Susan Sontag would be very happy to see a movie that defies the thought that AIDS=death, and that AIDS (or the fear of it) doesn't stop love or life. Jeffrey is a gay man in New York City who suddenly decides to stop having sex. His plan goes well until he meets a gorgeous man in the gym that he can't stop thinking about. The more he tries to maintain a sex-free lifestyle, the more he thinks about this man. His feelings for the man is complicated when it it revealed to Jeffrey that the man is HIV+. It's as smart as an ironic romantic comedy can be and as funny as a movie about life can be. Personally I think that Patrick Stewart was directed to be far to gay than he needs to be (Not all gay men are limp-wristed, Patrick.) and the world doesn't need another gay priest joke, but you can't take this movie to seriously. After all it's a romantic comedy!

Although, I do write this because Jeffrey is the greatest movie I think I have ever seen! If you are a person living with AIDS then you probably know what I am speaking of... To walk a mile in the shoe's of an AIDS patient...Then you know what it is to live life to the fullest. "Survived" I lost another friend today Is there anything I can say Tears and years of loss Inscrutable at all cost Would you know what to do Guilty existence Heavy on my soul Not hard to hold back Will not even be sold I have yet to say good-bye move forward as I may try I have heard words from the other side Caressing me while I cried Don't blame yourself You are the one who survivedCopyright ©2004 Jeffrey Paul Hellewell

Just saw Jeffrey and it was absolutely brilliant, to see straight guys playing a gay part and being totally cool with it. now I must say that I'm a bit of a Weiss fan and he looked absolutely fabulous. If you want to see a good movie about some gay guys this is the one! LOVED IT!
