I was sent a code to watch Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in exchange for this review.
I decided to watch Everybody’s Talking About Jamie on a night when David was home because he loves the movie Burlesque with Cher. I thought David might enjoy the plot and knowing it was based on a True Story.
I made Popcorn for me and grabbed my favorite beverage and took the Laptop to the couch. David came and sat down with me and when the movie began Charlie wandered in and sat down for a bit.
As the story begin Charlie left and David and I continued to watch the movie. Then David wandered off to get a Snack. I kept watching the movie because I didn’t want to miss anything.
As the story progressed and David heard more of the story he came back in and sat down. By the time the movie finished David couldn’t quit saying how much he liked the story.
I also did and can’t wait to purchase this movie for my Home Library but I know anytime I watch it I will need Tissues because not only did I end up laughing I was crying.
Charlie let me know he liked the Music and one day he will sit down and watch the whole move because he can relate to Jamie who doesn’t fit in and at times was Bullied by his father while Charlie was by his friends.
Through this film Charlie learned its okay to be different and to always be yourself no, matter what others might say. Charlie even let me know he would like to meet Jamie in person because they would be friends.
Directed by Jonathan Butterell Written by Tom MacRae Starring Max Harwood, Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar, Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant Inspired by true events.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie follows Jamie New (Harwood), a teenager from Sheffield, who dreams of life on stage. While his classmates plan their livelihoods after they leave school, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret Career Ambition to become a fierce and proud Drag Queen.
His best friend Pritti (Patel) and his loving mum (Lancashire) shower him with endless support, while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Grant) mentors him toward his debut stage performance.
But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father (Ineson), an uninspired careers advisor (Horgan), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational Parade.
In rousing and colourful musical numbers, Jamie and his community inspire one another to overcome prejudice, be more accepting, and to step out of the darkness into the spotlight.
120 Minutes | Rated PG-13
