Summary: The Truth About Jane
Review: The Truth About Jane DVD ~ Lee Rose is yet another propaganda movie made by pro gay directors and to call this a movie is an insult to great directors like Sam Peckinpah , Peter Jackson and many others. That Lifetime decided to make this propaganda movie is just beyond me. Ellen Muth is usually a very good actress. However, she seems like she is just going through the motions and she too realizes that this is not a good movie. The premise is one of those family oriented coming out stories that are supposed to pull at the heartstrings and make you understand the hardship that lesbians have to go through. Sorry, it did not work on me and I found it offensive propaganda. I found myself thinking thoughts like, why should the majority have to cave to desires of the few. I found the movie very undeomcratic and the end is just to much. Mum joins pflag. What a hoot and how unrealistic. As if a parent is like, I will accept you even though I think you are strange. Nah, that is not how things work. What a crock, and this movie should be called for what it is, i.e., a low budget alternative lifestyle propaganda movie.

Summary: A Great Tool for Gay Teens & Their Parents
Review: This film deals with a young girl's realization that she is gay.
I strongly feel it is a film that everybody should watch, especially parents of gay children and gay and straight teenagers. Important issues are dealt with in a tasteful, sensitive manner. It is educational and eye-opening without being too preachy or threatening to straight audiences.
We see the main character, Jane, deal with her first lesbian relationship and the ensuing heartbreak once the relationship ends. We see how Jane learns to deal with the homophobia from her classmates and friends. Most importantly, we see how Jane's family reacts and deals with her homosexuality.
Where I feel the realism breaks down a bit is that fact that Jane has two gay role models to help her through difficulties: her mother's gay friend (played by RuPaul), and a sympathetic English teacher who confronts Jane's parents at one point. I don't think most gay teens are so fortunate as Jane. Still, this movie may help to serve as a tool for gay teens to come out to their parents. This movie will also help those parents as well, since they'll see that much of what they're feeling are portrayed by Jane's two parents. This film is recommended by PFLAG and made with their cooperation.

Summary: The truth about Jane and the words that changed her life
Review: This movie is about a young girl who finds out she is gay. And is unsure about telling her parents so she talks to her Mom's gay friend and he helps her. Jane like so many young kids was unsure of what she was feeling. But as time passed, she realized that these feelings were not going any where. She has a gay teacher to whom she turns to instead of sucide. And it took that fore her parents to say hey, this is my child no matter waht. And it was a hard thing for her mom to except. But in the end, she does begin to except it. This movie hits reality hard. There are so many who are going thou or who ave already been throu the same thing. And to not know how people will look at you after some thing like this can be hard. This was a good lifetime original movie.

Summary: a must see for all lesbians, and all the rest of ya too
Review: This movie is so wonderful! I first saw it when i was a teenager living at home, so i related so well.

My heart fluttered with Jane as she fell for Taylor.
I wished i had Jane's courage as she told her parents.
I cried with her as her mom hated her for it.
I cheered on her dad when he told her mom off and stuck up for Jane.

It is an all-time favorite movie of mine. it is a must see!

Summary: wonderful movie!
Review: this movie really represents both what a child goes through when coming out to their parents and and the parents go through them selves. this is a movie that everyone needs to sit and watch and see how what happens when a someone realizes that they are are. it helped me understand what some of the people in my life have gone through with their families. this movie digs deeper than most. it goes past all of the sex and gets down to emotions.

Summary: zzzzzzz I slept through this one
Review: This played like an after school special. It was contrived and predictable and the screenwriting was so awful I think who ever wrote this needs to take english 101 or talk to people and see how they really communicate. The subject could have been done so much better especially in light of the great acting talent in the film....unfortunetly material was lacking and the director must have been at lunch...perhaps worth seeing for the coming out aspects and to see Stockard Channing and the actress playing the school teacher...see it for that, but as a movie it only gets 1 star
