Konterr Brilliant and touching

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

paul kane I saw this last night at a screening which was part of a new queer film fest here in Denver. I was apprehensive, but decided to go based on the first user comment on this site and I'm grateful I did. In addition to the documentary being well above my expectations, the director as well as Jeff Key were there in person for a Q & A. Having them there to field questions enriched the entire experience, especially since the material begs for even more information. At 82 minutes, I could have sat for at least another 20 minutes. If you get a chance to see this on Showtime, definitely check it out. I hope this makes it to video w/ bonus material.

lastliberal An outstanding documentary of the life and Marine career of Jeff key, a gay man who felt the duty to join and do something for his country after 9/11.His story is worth listening to and presents just about all the arguments that one needs to remove the ridiculous "Don't Aske. Don't Tell" policy in the military.One of the most interesting facts in the movie is the fact that his fellow Marines in Iraq all knew that he way gay. It didn't matter to the good ones as they were only concerned about his ability to protect them in danger.The movie also shows how the war changed from one of liberation to the sorry mess we have over there now.Don't miss it.

jjohnson19 I just finished watching "Semper Fi." Jeff Key's writing is marvelous - maybe a bit over the top for a one-man stage show...yet his poetic use of plain English is a wonder. This is one case where I can't wait for the book. But "Semper Fi" is not the stage show - it is a documentary about the events that led to the creation of the show and therein lies its beauty. Jeff Key is an American all Americans can and should be proud of. He is a hero in many ways - his concern for the children of Iraq, his concern for the returning servicemen and women who are getting short shrift from their government, the rare veteran with the courage to question this administration's policies. My heartfelt thanks and congratulations go to Mr. Key. He has created a beautiful piece and it should be required viewing for all. I hope it gets the audience it deserves. I am a gay veteran (US Army) and I am thankful that someone like Jeff Key has had the opportunity to tell his story and the wisdom and talent to tell it well. Good going, Jeff.

frankr315 I just saw this documentary on Showtime. It was nothing short of terrific. I, also, was in the military so I can identify with Jeff. This was one moving documentary. If Jeff is ever in your town with this one-man show go and see it. I had tears in my eyes at the end along with the actual audience who was watching his live performance. He is an eloquent speaker and you will be clinging to his every word. Our military men and women are heroes in every way. Everyone needs to support them. The only shame is that not everyone is allowed to be a soldier. I believed Jeff when he said he always wanted to be a soldier. And he sure was a good one. Do not miss this documentary and tell your friends about it.
