Have to say that I felt sick after watching this film.....one big fat fluffy mess. Its just jumping on the band wagon of the caring 90's "fad" of political correctness. Not even Sigourney Weaver could save this celluloid abomination. What a waste of time. It was disturbing to see elderly parents discussing gay saunas with their son....Im not a puritan at all....but it was just stupid and not even funny. The actor playing jeffrey...whoa..... was one of the worst performance I've ever seen !....I was told by a friend who is HIV positive that he actually walked out of this film at a screening 15 minutes into it because it was so agitating. I decided to hire it and see for myself why so many people, mostly gay, say that this is the worst movie they have ever seen.....now I know. Watch "The boys in the Band" (not really AIDS related) and "The Band Played On" (AIDS related) if you want to see something thats decent and at least watchable. Avoid this one....Im sure the director gets embarrassed when he looks back and realises what a mess this stupid film was.

I met Jeffrey quite by accident, when I was searching frantically for anything by the late cabaret singer, Nancy Lamott, whose "On the Way to your Heart" is a brief, but outstanding song among many in the film. Nowhere could I find that she had recorded this song to CD, so I purchased the movie, just to obtain the song. What a terrific find in every way! The story and performances are wonderful, and every piece of the music is to die for. (I later located and purchased a CD of the Jeffrey soundtrack, and also bought another copy of the movie - as much as I have watched and re-watched, the first one is sure to wear out!) While I don't think Jeffrey is considered a "musical" in the true sense of the word, I would classify it as that, just because the music is such an integral part of the story and serves as a perfect bridge from one scene to the next.If you are a Nancy Lamott fan or just love great music (there is also an especially memorable performance by Connie Petruk, among others), I highly recommend you look into Jeffrey. For me the movie was a bonus; a real treat that I didn't even think I'd be interested in. It's now one of my all-time favorites and I'd love to let everyone in on it, not only because it's a great movie, but also to continue to share the musical legacy of the beautiful and amazing Nancy Lamott, whom I discovered only about two months before her untimely death in late 1995. Get the movie (and the music). You won't be disappointed.

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.

In New York, while having sex with his partner, the condom bursts and the gay waiter and unemployed actor Jeffrey (Steven Weber), afraid of AIDS, decides to have no more sex in his life. In the gym, he meets the handsome gay Steve (Michael T. Weiss), who is HIV positive, and they fall in love for each other. However, Steve does not want to have an affair, believing that sex is dangerous. "Jeffrey" is a dramatic romantic comedy, with a very well structured screenplay, good cast and direction. However, this low budget movie is recommended for gays only. I read many good professional reviews about this film, and I decided to watch it. I recognize it is a good movie, but not for my taste. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Jeffrey, De Caso Com a Vida" ("Jeffrey, In an Affair With Life")
