"A Cute Adult Gay Romantic Comedy"
"Jeffrey" has always been one of my favorite romantic gay comedy/dramas. Its story is simple: it's about a man in his early thirties who decides to stay celibate because of the AIDS crisis. However, things change for him when he falls in love with a stud at a gym. Things are going great until the gum gym guy tells him that he is HIV positive. The movie is really about how two different gay men with different HIV statuses can have a healthy, normal life together. "Jeffrey" is widely considered the first movie to explore how an HIV positive man can have a beautiful relationship with an HIV negative man. The script is strong and the performances are flawless. Patrick Stewart also plays an older gay man whose lover dies of AIDS. A truely touching story of romance, fun, and undying friendship. Steven Weber, from TV's "Wings" and Michael T. Weiss from "Days of Our Lives" play the leads in the film. The DVD is a barebones edition, but it comes in widescreen and the trailer is included. Sigourney Weaver has a cameo as a mouthy public speaker. Enjoy.
