Jeffrey offends as readily as it amuses, but an outstanding performance from Patrick Stewart keeps it from going completely off the rails.

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. Jun 18, 2002 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Wildly uneven, and it aims at the lowest common denominator in its exceedingly broad comedy. Feb 13, 2001 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It is startling that such a funny play is not so funny a movie. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4

It's more a series of sketches and momentary inspirations than a story that grows interesting. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The play's impressionistic tableaux of homosexual life doesn't translate with complete success to the screen, but there are many hilarious lines. Mar 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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 May 2, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Outstanding comedy. Effectively portrays the romance of gay relationships, with a Woody Allen tone of comedy. Jul 14, 2003 | Rating: 4/5

Fred Topel
The breaking of the third wall and fantasy moments that really distinguish the story work better on stage, but there are enough enjoyable moments and strong performances (especially by Michael T. Weiss) to make it a worthwhile film.
Super Reviewer
A fun but already-dated gay dating comedy with a touch of AIDS sadness. Patrick Stewart adds to the silliness. It ranks up there with Torch Song Trilogy.
This shit sucks. It's just as sexually compartmentalizing as The Birdcage was, only from the other end of the spectrum and about half as cleverly. I don't feel like saying any more.
