It stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's main problem is that Jeeves and Wooster are probably the most quintessentially English characters in English literature, and Wooster is here played by an American!

What makes it even more unfortunate is his accent, which is worse than Dick Van Dyke's in `Maori Pawpins'. [sic] His accent crossed the Atlantic more times than Concorde, as he seemed unsure whether he was an Etonian or a Bostonian.

Come on! I mean to say, Gwyneth Paltrow managed an excellent English accent in both `Sliding Doors' and `Shakespeare In Love'.........why, oh why, couldn't John Scherer for just one lousy scene??????!!!!!!

I first saw this film on TV, and was gobsmacked (a British expression!) at Patrick Stewart's performance- this is totally unlike anything else I have seen him in.

However, I soon discovered that there many more superb performances in Jeffrey... from the smallest roles (usually played by bigger names than you'd expect!) to the main roles entrusted to Stephen Weber & Michael Weiss. I managed to have a marvelous time just star spotting!

I found this so hilariously funny in some scenes, and yet full of pathos in others that I ended up laughing & crying at the same time. In the end I just had to buy it, so I can watch it as often as I want. Be broadminded, and give this film a go... it won't disappoint.
