Summary: JON WAS GREAT!
Review: All I have to say because so many have said so much, just get it!. I wasn't sure if I would like the film but I did, I really did. Jon's cating has come a long way. He is ready for the big screen. The story line was great, but, because I LOVE JON, I didn't prefer the ending.The only way you could tell that this was a low budget film was the editing. All actors were good, but, I'm throughly impressed with the acting ability of Jon. This film is not just for Bon Jovi fans. Get it today.
Enjoy!!

Summary: Thanks for giving away the ending.........
Review: I purchased this movie purely knowing that Jon Bon Jovi had a lead roll. Being from Australia this movie is not available here, so I purchased it through Amazon blind, knowing very little about it (pretty risky). Jon is pretty convincing as an ex con trying to go the straight and narrow. Mixed in with a soppy love story is always a winner with me. Highly recommended viewing, those dreamy blue eyes just reel you in, if nothing else the perve value was worth the extra cost (with the exchange rate being so poor). I'm happy to have this movie in my home movie collection.

Summary: World class acting from Jon Bon Jovi!
Review: I thought this movie was wonderful. I got it because I'm a huge BON JOVI fan. This movie was very good. You could see based on the past films he had done, his acting has come a long way. Jon was believable the whole time. I suggest this movie to everyone. The acting is so good that it isn't just for the JBJ fan. Go get it .Great story line. The only thing that gave it away that it was a low budget film was the editing, other than that I would see this in the theater.
I like this movie over the movie No Looking Back. Maybe because Jon is the star! Enjoy.

Summary: A Good Film
Review: Iv'e only seen the VHS version of this, but it's a good film, that should have got some kind of Cinema Release. It's got a good story line, and some good performances, especially from Jon Bon Jovi, who continues to impress as an Actor. If only somebody would take a decent shot on him, and give him a role in a film with a budget. The only thing that let's this film down is the slightly improbable ending, but if you like a bit of a weepy, this films for you.

Summary: Excellent, Great, Not Bad... (VHS)
Review: Row Your Boat is a very moving film. The cast played their parts very well. In particular, I thought Jon Bon Jovi was excellent. He plays the part of the main character, a poor, homeless, ex-con who is trying to get back on his feet. He plays the part so well; it is as if the movie is more about an actual person rather than just a movie. The movie is a little hard to follow because different scenes are cut in different places (you can tell by the actors' clothes), which is a bit annoying. There is a nice sense-of-humor in this movie. It is a little weird, but if you are not too rigid, you will laugh and have a good time watching this film. To sum up, the acting is great, the story is great, and when these factors are put together, it makes for a great film. Row Your Boat is a movie that I watched more than once, and would recommend to others whom I think would/could appreciate it.
