A sex film even prudes can enjoy!
Okay. Weird title for a review, I know. But, well, I'm pretty much a "prude." I don't like sex films of any sort -- gay or heterosexual. They are usually immature, graphic, and (often) disgusting, passing off crude remarks as humor. "Jeffrey" changed my opinion. It's witty and fast-paced and wonderfully off-beat. True, there are a few (brief) moments that made me say, "Whoa!" but they were SO brief and well-handled that I didn't have time to be offended. [Please note: I am pro-gay rights, so I am not referring to the kissing scenes. ;) ] If someone had told me I'd sit through an entire movie in which the word "sex" is used about every other sentence, I'd have not believed them. I not only sat through "Jeffrey," I enjoyed it like I haven't enjoyed a film in a while. I laughed aloud repeatedly! I also liked that this film had substance. AIDS is not a joke and there were some very moving scenes -- and that made me love this movie all the more. I give it 5 stars! And if you still aren't sure whether to see "Jeffrey" or not, pick it up for the sole purpose of seeing Patrick Stewart's performance. I about fell off the sofa with laughter when they gave him the tiara...
