Jeffrey, a gay man living in New York City with an overwhelming fear of contracting AIDS, concludes that being celibate is the only option to protect himself. As fate would have it, shortly after his declaration of a sex-free existence, he meets the handsome Steve Howard, his dream man -- except for his HIV-positive status. Facing this dilemma, Jeffrey turns to his best friend and an outrageous priest for guidance.

This is, and has been since 1995, my favorite movie. Jeffrey, staring Steven Weber, Michael T. Weiss, Patrick Stewart and Bryan Bratt, also has many, many parts played by extremely well-known actors. Kathy Najimi, Kevin Nealon, Olympia Dukakis, Sigourney Weaver, Christine Baranski, Victor Garber, Robert Klein, and Camryn Manheim, just to name a few. To sum it up, it shows how important friends are in our time of need. This is one movie I can watch over and over, and I have seen it probably two dozen times or more. The writing, acting and music are flawless, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love it! This is the one, single movie I can quote the most amount of lines from.

This is the movie that I always say is the funniest one I've ever seen. It's funny because it doesn't rely on Ashton Kutcher or bad parodies or stupid clichés -- the jokes are tight, unique and, most importantly, have meaning. Any comedy that can make us cry at the death of a Broadway extra from Cats (the poor much maligned Cats) but have us laughing at the one man's desire that he feels he can't have, gives us a depth of meaning not seen in comedic film in quite a while. We've become to dependent on having comedies without a meaning, or a point, or a way of laughing at something as terrifying as the AIDS crisis. Sometimes we want to laugh at that which scares us -- it gives us power over it.

Although, I do write this because Jeffrey is the greatest movie I think I have ever seen! If you are a person living with AIDS then you probably know what I am speaking of... To walk a mile in the shoe's of an AIDS patient...Then you know what it is to live life to the fullest. "Survived" I lost another friend today Is there anything I can say Tears and years of loss Inscrutable at all cost Would you know what to do Guilty existence Heavy on my soul Not hard to hold back Will not even be sold I have yet to say good-bye move forward as I may try I have heard words from the other side Caressing me while I cried Don't blame yourself You are the one who survivedCopyright ©2004 Jeffrey Paul Hellewell

Just saw Jeffrey and it was absolutely brilliant, to see straight guys playing a gay part and being totally cool with it. now I must say that I'm a bit of a Weiss fan and he looked absolutely fabulous. If you want to see a good movie about some gay guys this is the one! LOVED IT!
