Lyman G Sep 18, 2021 We enjoyed ETAJ thoroughly! One of the best stage to screen transfers wed seen in years. Definitely go see this feel good film in a movie theatre. Weve already purchased the soundtrack and added it to our feel good playlist. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Sep 19, 2026 Cheerful and pleasant, with good production values. One problem for us was the music. Since it was a musical, the pop-style songs were a major part of the film, and they simply weren't to our taste. The story was strictly formulaic, and several scenes weren't believable. I've also realized that I don't enjoy coming-of-age films as much as I used to. The gay theme was handled with a light touch, which worked well.

The film is full of catchy songs, vibrant performances, and a strong sense of identity that makes it both fun and meaningful. Max Harwood shines as Jamie, bringing charm and confidence to the role, while the supporting cast adds warmth and humor throughout. The musical numbers are colorful and memorable, helping to keep the film lively and engaging. What makes the movie work best is its positive message about being yourself, even when facing judgment or challenges. It balances emotional moments with lighthearted fun without losing its impact. Overall, it’s an entertaining and inspiring musical that leaves you feeling good. I’d rate it an 8/10. See more Shaun R @Shaun666 May 3, 2025 Horrible in every way imaginable. See more Daniel O @RT03386531 Sep 20, 2023 Another bad adaptation. The musical production is better, You can watch the proshot. See more meredith w @Dufflecoats Jan 29, 2023 The film version of the stage musical "Everybody's talking about Jaime" is a lightweight affair, as musicals often are. There is not much to its narrative, which sees flamboyant 16-year-old Jamie New (Max Harwood) mocked by those around him until he decides to go to his school prom in drag. Lightweight as it is, the story is still uplifting and the while the songs aren't particularly memorable, they have an engaging feel-good energy. Richard E Grant is a highlight as Jamie's aging drag queen mentor Hugo who once performed as Loco Chanel. See more Read all reviews
