Everybody's Talking About Jamie

"Everybody's Talking About Jamie" captures the heart and spirit of its stage predecessor with infectious energy and poignant storytelling. Max Harwood shines in the titular role, delivering a captivating performance. The film celebrates self-expression, acceptance, and the power of being true to oneself. A vibrant and empowering cinematic experience.

Work as extra on set cause I was late arrived at 9pm to 6am rather then 7pm to 6am as coming from Bolton they refused to pay me just watched film and clearly was there so film producers joke u

great message, with great vocals and songs. The outfits were really cool as well. Can't believe this was one of the first biggest jobs of Max's. Great acting.

When the dinner ladies transform into backing singers. YES LINDA (and Tracey and Vicky)

Another bad adaptation. The musical production is better, You can watch the proshot.

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.

This is a feelgood LGBTQ+ coming of age film, with some very catchy musical numbers (its very much a musical, as far as the film genre or style goes) and a good cast including Sarah Lancashire, Richard E. Grant, Shobna Gulati and Ralph Ineson. Of course it has some serious themes about tolerance and acceptance but it also has some amusing moments as well. It is fairly cheesy and features some cliches but all in all its a fun film I enjoyed, so I'd recommend it to others.

🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 4 Stars!!!! A biographical coming-of-age musical comedy-drama based on the stage musical of the same name. Inspired by true events, the story is based upon the true-life story of 16-year-old British schoolboy Jamie from Sheffield, as he overcomes prejudice and bullying, to step out of the darkness and into the spotlight to become a drag queen. With an incredible and catchy soundtrack, this enjoyable and celebratory musical with an uplifting message will go down in history as one of the most relevant ones in terms of LGBTQ acceptance. The visuals are colourful, the storyline is heartwarming and the performance of newcomer Max Harwood is just awesome.

.5 out of 5 stars. Everybody's Talking about Jamie is one of the worst films. And very hard to get into it. The film is a musical about Jamie (Max Harwood) who is trying to be a drag queen. The script makes the character feel narcissistic and annoying. Which makes it difficult to connect to the character emotionally. The musical sequences are forgettable. The acting is boring. And it is one musical that is easily forgotten.

I have a soft spot for feel-good musicals and "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" is no exception. This movie moves at a good pace because the musical numbers are pretty consistent. The story carries a good message and the music kept my interest while watching it. I did feel sometimes certain characters were frustrating in a way that felt a bit over the top, but I could let it slide since this is a dramatization based on the life of an actual person. Overall, it is a high-energy and heartfelt musical that is sure to please genre fans like me.
