Product: Jeffrey [VHS] (1995)
Rating: 5.0
Witty, Tactless, Direct and Fresh
While Jeffrey is not the kind of screwball comedy like those movies of Goldie Hawn, the writing and pace makes it very likeable -- even for the straight viewers. While we have been entertained by actors talking to the viewer, this film uses them as clever "asides" to brighten the pace of the film.While, again, the issue is about relationships, it is clear that the direct approach, combined with the oftentimes "tactlessness" of the characters -- the focus is predominatly about HIV.The freshness of the writing is clever. This makes the movie "easy to watch, hard to let go of". Of course, the fact that almost everyone in the film is a "known star," keeps you lauging and laughing. (I trully loved Sigourney Weaver! )Anyone who buys this film will never regret it.
