Product: Jeffrey [VHS] (1995)
Rating: 5.0
Frightfully Funny And Certainly Gay! (Happy)
Do you remember when Gay meant "Happy"? Well the Gay and Lesbian community has taken a lot of comic slaps and personal tragedy over the last 20 years. Jeffery is a good example of how, with all the problems, threats and diseases, we can all be kind and learn to see the humor in life.Jeffrey was a Broadway play that went to the big screen with a low budget. Really low budget. All the actors in here came together for basic "scale" for payment to convey the message of hope and love in a world of fear and hate.The cast is to large to mention everyone, but stand-out performances are as follows - Patrick Stewart, Kathy Najimy, Olympia Dukaksa, Sigorny Weaver and with all that has been going on with the Catholic Church theses days, a performance by Nathan Lane that will have you in tears.Keep in mind this movie is blunt, direct and holds no punches. It's a comedy about love, life and Aides. A really refreshing point of view and you'll love it.
