Everyone’s Talking About Jamie

Saw the show in England. It was cute. Film will be cute.

Wasn't this done already? Seems I saw a movie called Bruno🤔 with Shirley MacLaine as the grandmother of a little boy who wants to wear dresses. Cute movie.

Phillywhore here...I watched it last night. It must be the "GAYEST SHOW THAT EVER GAYED". BTW. it was "fucking adorable" & SOOOOO FUCKING CUTE!! Loved Jame(even his dyed blonde haircut) was "totes adorbs" The mom and the virginal Pakistani teenager(Pretty?) was really GOOD. The owner of the Drag Queen shop, I miss "DRAG QUEENS LIKE THAT". I loved the VCR tape. I need to go to A Good Drag show!! The father(booooooooo).

Its exhausting summer PR campaign has me pre-hating it.

Saw the show in London.

Pleasant but not great.

They're flacking the hell out of it at Amazon.co.uk right now.

Fun!!

Sweet, Made me cry. Kinda loved it loads.

I remember seeing Bruno when it came out. For some reason I remembered Rosie O'Donnell played a butch nun but the internet tells me it was Kathy Bates. I guess she was in a different movie.

Jamie is a cruel little shit. Well, at least to the females in his life.

I can't believe this isn't being discussed more here on DL. I watched it last night and thought it was great. There were several moments I choked up because it brought back a flood of memories of what it was like being "different" (aka flaming gay) in high school.

Who on god’s green name want to grow up to be a drag queen? Lol. Sheesh.

Oh, I guarantee you I will NOT be talking about or too Jamie.

[quote] I believe it’s on Amazon Prime.

Clever of shill OP to barely feign ignorance while shilling this shrill stereotyped hack Brit musical queenfest.

It has been given a theatrical release in the UK. I saw the trailer. It made me want to vomit.

We expect nothing less from Dataloungers.

I’m not interested in any way shape or form

The story is lovely but the musical numbers are tremendous!

I saw the original cast onstage in London. That cast was filmed for a one-off-at-the-movie-theater event, which many of us were able to capture. Thought it was a fun show, and very moving/upbeat. I've seen the film on Amazon Prime twice now. It's a very good adaptation. The new song for the drag mother is really powerful -taking us through the worst of the AIDS years with the character's home movies (note: the younger-self drag queen is played by John McCrea, who played the original Jamie in London). Those of us who lived through that were hit with a lot of memories. All in all, it's well worth seeing. I don't care how "predictable" the (true) story is -I like seeing a show where the fem kid succeeds and the the drag queens are powerful role models.

Let's see... How can we steal the idea (gay Brit child wants to go to the prom in a dress, getting support from lovable heavily accented characters including an old drag queen), fill it with American stereotypes, improve the music with some catchy Hairspray-like tunes, and set it in the midwest, and put it on Broadway?

I know. We can make the gay kid a dyke who wants to take her girlfriend to the big dance, and surround her with lovable, stereotype has-been Broadway actors, and make sure that the final song sounds exactly like Hairspray's "You Can't Stop the Beat"

And let's call it THE PROM!

"The Prom" was based on a true story about Constance McMillen a girl from Mississippi. Learn your gay history.

And Everybody's Talking About Jamie was based on a "true" story. Just because there's some history behind it, doesn't meant that The Prom was not a blatant ripoff of others.

Pull the Playbill outta your ass, there is nothing original about "Everyone’s Talking About Jamie" to rip off.

I watched last night. Sadly, it’s completely charmless and the songs just suck.

Every time they opened their mouths to sing, I wanted to fast forward.

The Prom is way way way way better

It's a but humorless and far less drag than I thought there would be.
