Powerful

Best movie ever!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I tried to watch this so called comedy but like a visit to the dentist I wanted to get the hell out of there. From the very beginning you are totally aware of what this movie is going to be about. this so called laughing in the face of death never went over well in any movie. and of course all people concerned in the plot seem to be missing one key element. A brain to think with. how sad to see that most people in this world don't look at gay life as one big miss hap with love and sickness and even Aids as just one of those things. The entire plot was for the birds. no real point is made about anything. Like a tossed salad with too much of everything you don't really see what your getting. My advice is this should of been called "Alice in Wonderland"

Almost a breakthrough for queer cinema: a homosexual cater-waiter in New York City swears off sex in the AIDS-era but soon finds himself falling for a hunk who is HIV positive. Paul Rudnick adapted his own play for the screen, allowing his gay characters to act upon their desires and not just whine about them (which is what cramped the film-version of "Torch Song Trilogy"). Yet, the tone of the picture wavers as if the filmmakers weren't sure whether they were doing a fanciful comedy, a satire, a tragi-comedy with pathos, a revue, or a love story in the more traditional sense. The central leads (Steven Weber and Michael T. Weiss) are handsome and charming, but the intrusive star-cameos (directed broadly for big laughs) do not work. A semi-serious movie about tentative gay love can always stand a sense of humor (self-effacing or otherwise), but hamming and camping gets old pretty fast. ** from ****

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!

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!
