Jeffrey (1995)
Trite charity flick not worth watching.
This film views like a bad high school play. Its adaptation from stage to screen should have been better thought out. Acting and writing designed to translate 200 feet across an auditorium is awkward and awful on screen. Directly addressing the audience is difficult to pull off and this film does not even come close to making it work. The worst part of this film it its Hollywood-charity feel. A sort of `Lets use our big names to make a quirky AIDS public service announcement! Isn't showbiz funny?!!' It was slow, heavy-handed, preachy, and worst of all poorly written. If you are a washed up Hollywood wanna-be you might think this film is funny if not, don't waste your time. There are hundreds of gay cinema titles to choose from that won't treat you like a idiot: `All over the Guy', `Beautiful thing' or `Get Real' are in my top ten. Leave `Jeffrey' on the shelf.
