With AIDS being the subject matter for 'Jeffrey' I had the preconceived idea it was going to be somber and judgmental, despite it being a romantic comedy. Turns out I was completely wrong and this was indeed a very funny movie.
Steven Weber stars as the titular Jeffrey - an unemployed actor who vows never to have sex again "because it is too dangerous". With temptation around every corner, it is proving to be a very difficult task. And then he meets gorgeous hunk Steve (Michael T. Weiss), who happens to be HIV positive.
The film follows Jeffrey and Steve as they enter into a relationship. Off course they encounter obstacles - especially on an intimate level. There are hilarious moments through their adventures and misadventures, and friends they meet along the way. There's eye candy galore!!
Although essentially a comedy, the film also has a fair share of drama, but it never becomes depressing. The dialogue is really funny, and I loved the satire. The film is very well acted. Patrick Stewart, especially was just fabulous! He stole the show in every scene he was in. This man should be gay! Also look out for Nathan Lane as a priest. He is a comedy legend!
The film has a touching, beautiful ending. 'Jeffrey' definitely is a thought-provoking film, told in a funny, lighthearted manner. I've said this before; gay-themed movies are not generally my genre of choice, as I generally found it too clichéd and predictable, but 'Jeffrey' was an absolute delight to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
