Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

hottestmexu Whether Jazz is male, female, or transgender, the bottom line is that s/he is a spoiled brat. S/he gets whatever she wants whenever s/he wants by pouting, complaining, and making her parents feel guilty.The grandparents and the mother are the ones who cater to Jazz the most. The father's opinions are largely ignored or overruled. Dr. Marcie Bowers stood up to Jazz for a while, but I knew she would approve the sex reassignment surgery as she is always in it to make a buck.Jazz does not put a good face on the transgender debate.

overtheedge-18733 This is a show that exposes the extreme selfish centeredness of a transsexual child parents with no moral center that facilitate child abuse. A microcosm of a very spiritually corrupt society. It's kind of fun to watch the train wreck..

atlasmb This reality show is about the lives of Jazz Jennings and her family. Since Jazz is transgender and an activist for the transgender "community", it is difficult to review this show without reviewing Jazz herself and the politics of gender identity. But I shall primarily try to discuss the show.Though "I Am Jazz" is about the Jennings family, Jazz is the star of the show. She is intelligent, beautiful, and possesses a keen sense of humor. She is also blessed to be surrounded by a closely-knit family that is very loving.I think she is also lucky that she self-identified as male at a very early age, making her journey of self-discovery easier than it is for many who assert their true gender identities after puberty.However, her life is anything but easy. First, she must cope with some people who go out of their ways to actively deride her and her life choices, as if they have a stake in the matter. There is a word for those seek to control or undermine the personal choices that individuals make--bullies.Secondly, transgenderism is a complex issue, so it is not easy to navigate. Jazz herself admitted she does not yet know her sexual orientation. So imagine how difficult it is for outsiders to understand the "rules" or processes that sexually dysmorphic individuals must discover for themselves.Jazz is a very understanding person, but she has displayed a tendency to stereotype senior citizens. That is my one criticism of this exceptional young woman. Actually, older Americans and the world dealt with some of these issues in the sixties and seventies. If you are not familiar with Dr. Renee Richards, her Wikipedia entry is very enlightening.As Jazz deals with the usual issue of adolescence (cliques, sexual feelings, physical attraction, high school, hormones), she is also dealing with the psychological and medical issues that surround gender identity. This makes the show extremely interesting. There is so much to be learned about genetic programming (genotype), body type (phenotype), gender identity, and sexual orientation, which are four different things.In the show, Jazz is very forthcoming, very frank, and very authentic. She provides a window into the often confusing subject of transgenderism. The show feels very organic, not overly produced. The family dynamics are familiar; they have issues and situations to deal with, like all families. We see a family member that needs more attention. Jazz's mother feels abandonment when a child leaves home for college.This is an unscripted show where no one knows the final act. It is both entertaining and educational to watch as Jazz discovers the best path through a minefield of personal and social obstacles.

tracyprell This is a Great Show, because it shows the average family with a teenage child struggling with the many questions and few answers about being trans-gendered. The family and friends are loving and very supportive...this is unconditional love at it's finest! Their there to support their child and friend who was born trans-gendered ...that's right born trans-gendered...this is not a choice, just like others did not choose to be heterosexual. We didn't choose our physical attributes like the color of our eyes, or how many fingers we have, or whether were autistic or not...people are born this way from birth. Unfortunately, we have the ignorant people that don't have a clue or their religious beliefs do not allow them to love, support people that are different than them and don't share their views. Please read my review concerning Season 1 Episode 9 at this link. TLC you need to keep "I am Jazz" on the air and don't worry about "A Million Moms" who represent a small fraction of our Country. They need to either support others, or mind their own business. It's Jazz's life not theirs. They need to look and police their own backyard like the Duggars instead of condemning a 14-year girl and her family and friends that love her so much!
