Better than the critics say
This is one of those movies that I confidently predict will wind up being considered much better as time goes on than the critics said at its inception. It’s especially funny (and biting on occasion) if you happened to have lived through the first rush of AIDS deaths and the fear that engendered. This whole movie is a send up of that, and revels in the idea that sex and life go on even in the aftermath of terror. The Hoe-down fantasy sequence with its overtones of Busby Berkley and Oklahoma is hysterically funny. As for the acting, it’s purposely broad with Patrick Steward playing against type, both in his role of Picard and in his many Shakespearean ones. Steve Weber is a hoot and there is no doubt in my mind that the other actors had a blast working in this flick. Many of them appear to have that “look” you see when actors are performing for their peers and enjoying every moment of it. The Pink Panthers moment alone lets Stewart shine. Are there flaws in the movie. Yup! The dialogue is sometimes stilted and jokes occasionally are dumped in rather than flowing from the plot, but overall it’s witty, biting, and downright rapier-like on more than one occasion. All in all, Jeffrey is fun and worth an hour or so of your life.
a fine look at life in a grim moment
I suspect that Christopher Ashley’s “Jeffrey” (based on Paul Rudnick’s play) will hold a lot more meaning to people who witnessed the AIDS epidemic, but even if you didn’t, it’s still a pleasure. It essentially looks at the dilemma that a person faces when hoping to have a relationship in a setting where relationships look dangerous. In this case, a young gay man (Steven Weber) is concerned about AIDS and so he decides to abstain from sex entirely, but this choice becomes harder once he’s smitten with a handsome man (Michael T. Weiss).The only problem that I had – at least on the copy that I watched – is that the DVD skipped over a number of scenes (you know how DVDs can do that sometimes); I never got to see the scenes featuring Olympia Dukakis, Sigourney Weaver and Nathan Lane. No matter, I did get to see the hoedown hosted by Christine Baranski (now known as Leonard’s mom on “The Big Bang Theory”). That scene alone is worth the watch. This movie is one of the best examples of 1990s indie cinema, and a solid addition to the pantheon of LGBT cinema. Above all, it was neat seeing Patrick Stewart in a role so different from his most famous one. I recommend it.
PS: Gregory Jbara co-starred in another LGBT-themed movie written by Paul Rudnick two years later: “In & Out”, which was inspired by Tom Hanks’s praise of his gay teacher while accepting his Oscar for “Philadelphia”.
