Jack

Rating:
Summary: Robin Willams is the best.
Review: I thought Jack was a great movie. I think it is neat how the neighborhood kids love when Jack comes out and plays. I think this is one of Robins best films of all time. But I love all his films. I give him and his movies 5 stars.

Summary: Somebody didn't know Jack . . .
Review: I was not expecting to be dissapointed by a film featuring BOTH Robin Williams and Bill Cosby. Two of the funniest men on the planet, you think they could have managed to squeak a few laughs out of me. To be perfectly honest, though, this movie, while it has that Coppela-esque ambition, never even achieves the depth of a made-for-Disney channel movie. It ends up feeling pretentious. I only wanted it to be funny. Instead it wasn't really . . . anything. Forgetable is the only word for it.

Summary: Like spending time in hell
Review: If I ever meet Robin Williams, I'm going to kick him right in the groin.

Summary: This movie will make you laugh and cry!
Review: It is one of the few movies that I can watch over and over and never get tired of. Robin Willams does an excellent job of being a kid in an adult body. In response to the reviewer that referred to this movie as offensive to the children who actually have this disease - get a life! This movie shows not only the fun he had but also the challenge of fitting in and the desire to be just a "normal star". If anything, this movie shows children with this disease, their possibilities and not their limitations. To the offended reviewer, watch the movie again not only with your eyes but with your heart.

Rating:
Summary: Painfully bad
Review: Jack is easily one of Robin Williams' and Francis Ford Coppola's worst films. Most of the fault lies in the terrible script, a mishmash of cliches and predictability, hackneyed dialogue, along with a serious lack of tasteful humor. There's nothing the least bit creative about this film, and nothing funny at all.

Summary: The Best Movie I've Seen in my Entire Life!!!!!!!!!
Review: Jack is such a good movie. I had a dream about it. I cried while I was asleep!! It's so touching. And the point is that life is short. Appreciate your life because you never know whats going to happen next. I also liked that they ended the movie with te song that they began with. There should really be a Jack 2. It was the best movie that I've seen in my entire life! (and that's ten years).

Summary: The funniest movie ever
Review: Jack was the funniest movie I have ever seen. I remember when my son was that age and I could really relate. I love a good movie that can make me laugh until I cry and then cry because it's sad! Love this one!

Summary: Robin Williams as a 10 year old in a 40 year old man's body
Review: Now this is a diffrent movie from the films that Mr. Williams does. One night a couple named Brain Powell and Karen Powell (Brain Kerwin and Diane Lane) are at a costume party. When thier baby is ready to be born. But the baby is not due for another 7 months. Karen gives birth to a boy which they name Jack. And doctors tell them that the baby was born early because his body is aging 4 times the normal rate. And if this goes on until Jack is 10 years old, that he will be a full grown 40 year old man. So 10 years later Jack (Robin Williams) is a full grown man. And instead of going to school, a tutor (Bill Cosby) comes to the Powell's house to tutor Jack. Until one day the tutor decides that Jack sould go to school. And tell his parents.

Summary: Retarded
Review: Robin Williams is Jack, whose physical development happens four times faster than normal. (There are real ageing diseases but I gather none of them remotely resemble this fairy tale.) So here he is aged ten with the mind of a ten year old and the body of, er, Robin Williams. His parents are educating him at home under the tutelage of kind old Bill Cosby. But this leaves him terribly lonesome for the company of other children. So Jack is unhappy. Sad Jack. Seeing this, his parents relent and send him to school where, just as they fear, the kids tell him he is a freak and pick on him. So he is still unhappy. More sad Jack. But then he is picked for a basketball side and next thing we know everyone loves him and he has lots of little friends. Hurray! Happy, smiling Jack. But then, oh dear, he starts comparing himself with the other kids. They will live to be 70 or 80 and he will be lucky to make it to 20. And the whole issue of girls is starting to confuse him. So he has a bit of a breakdown and his parents take him out of school. Oh dear. Real sad Jack. But then they send him back again. Happy Jack. Cut to Graduation Day and Jack, now very old in dog years, has been declared the school's first valetudinarian valedictorian. He's gonna die soon and all his friends are unhappy. Sad Jack's friends. But Jack is not unhappy. Jack is proud. Jack makes a speech about shooting stars being the brightest in the sky. Everybody cries. Mom cries. Dad cries. Bill Cosby cries. Wise Jack. Happy Jack. Awful, awful awful sentimental car wreck of a movie.
