I Am Jazz Audience Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
niggrfaggte Was going to write an in depth review but realised it was so garbage that it wasn't worth much of my time. Just please for the love of god and all that is holy don't watch this abomination.
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..
Joseph Godfrey I want to rate this on just being a TV series and not because of my opinions about transgenders; As a weekly series I think it works really well. Set among the thousands of reality TV garbage, this show stands out. 'I Am Jazz' is a series focusing on transgender girl and her issues - Which (quite frankly) not many of us have any idea about such issues. I like to learn new things and seeing this kid grow up, has certainly given me a lot of questions, things to think about and some disagreements about parenting. But I'm learning a lot of things about other human beings I would probably never met in my day to day and that's enjoyable to me.I started watching during Season 3. Most of Season 3 has been about the vaginoplasty Jazz wants. It got kind of gross hearing about colons & terrible smells and I really didn't need to know Jazz had a micro-penis. But at any rate, I have some catching up to do. I believe Jazz was diagnosed with a gender identity disorder at 3 or 4 years of age. Which was the first thing I was curious about ...How do we diagnose a child with "any" type of identity disorder when that child is still developing? Here's my brain at work: Should it matter if a boy has feminine tendencies or that a girl has a masculine behavior ... Are we so backwards that we need to create medical explanations for a boy who enjoys things more commonly accepted as girly? I grew up with a gigantic curiosity about the universe and I basically lived in my own thoughts for the first 10 years of my life just pondering, drawing & writing. I never watched sports on TV, I still don't - I'd rather go play basketball than be a spectator. My Dad would take me to NASCAR events (to bond with his weird son) and frankly it's a lot of standing around waiting for someone to crash. I remember bullies would come out of nowhere to fight me and all it did was leave me confused. I didn't know how to react, but apparently "deep-thoughts are for girls". My close friends thought I was gay and I wondered the same thing.EVENTUALLY; Somewhere in my teens I started to figure out who I was. I had plenty of alone time and became an artist because of that. I was 16 years old and my body changed, my face grew hair and my boyish little round face disappeared. I learned other teens were afraid of my appearance and girls especially were intimidated. I attracted the wrong type of friends & girlfriends for a long time; I dated promiscuous women and had dumb guy friends. Mostly people who loved drama & fighting, and I can't stand drama-seekers.When I think about 3/4 year old Jazz and compare it to 3/4 year old me. I'm not even trying to say that Jazz isn't a transgender, but I watched her turn 16 and it was age 16 when I started to understand who I was. I believe a 3/4 year old child can't make such decisions. I could have missed whichever episode explained this better, but from what I've seen a child wanted to be a girl and the parents chemically neutered their little boy so he could become a she - or ze.This is why I wanted to rate this show as just being a TV show. I imagine there are people (like me) who will disagree with one thing or another. I know there are hateful people that will prejudge this family and give one star out of hatred. But I want to see how this tale plays out. This is a loving family with an issue that is simply different and I'm much more interested in understanding 'I Am Jazz' than I am with defending my beliefs.
