Jeffrey Reviews

Hasn't aged particularly well, but in the gaze of 1995 I’m sure it was just to make a point … that AGAIN love is love, loss is a tragic void, and the hope that someday HIV and AIDS will be a thing of the past … and we made it so. Happy Pride Weekend!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 28, 2024

Well scripted characters along with the inspired casting of Olympia Dukakis, Sigourney Weaver, Robert Klein and Patrick Stewart (Star Trek’s Captain Picard) in supporting roles make this film very memorable.

This hetero-friendly comedy is filled with fresh ideas.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2022

For those few things that don't really work, the rest of it does. It's definitely worth a watch, or, if you're anything like me, several watches.

The energy level drains away once the picture turns serious, and what remains is a somber plotline that was handled far more effectively in such works as And the Band Played On and Longtime Companion.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 22, 2019

The play's impressionistic tableaux of homosexual life doesn't translate with complete success to the screen, but there are many hilarious lines.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2019

Every scene with Stewart and Batt delivers at least one masterstroke. But hilarious moments stud Rudnick's screenplay. His knack for dialogue and satire calls to mind some of the great screenwriters of Hollywood's golden era

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 2, 2018

The most offensive film of the decade has arrived, thank God, and it was worth waiting for.

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

As written by Paul Rudnick (Premiere's Libby Gelman-Waxner), this is a mildly amusing vignettish attempt to make a gay comedy about AIDS.

A miscast lead, but Patrick Stewart makes it all worthwhile.

Outstanding comedy. Effectively portrays the romance of gay relationships, with a Woody Allen tone of comedy.

It's not a total bust, and some of the performances are charming, but it never matches the gleeful, irreverent mischief it had on stage.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2002

A warm and humorous -- as well as a sad and moving -- exploration of all-too-human relationships.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 5, 2002

Rudnick, adapting his off-Broadway hit, deftly blends uproarious fun and touching gravity.

Full Review | May 12, 2001

Wildly uneven, and it aims at the lowest common denominator in its exceedingly broad comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2001
