Movie Reviews of Jack
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this movie when I was younger (8, 9, 10 years old) and laughing so hard. Robin Williams is hilarious in this movie!
So what's this movie about? Jack is a 10 year old boy that was born with a disease that caused his body to age 4 times faster than normal. Yet, his brain stays the same. In essence, Jack is a typical 10 year old boy in a not so typical 40 year old body. Jack's parents try to keep him away from school and other kids because they fear that the teasing will be too much for him. When Jack begs his parents to go and they finally end up letting him, he unfortunately sees that the other kids don't like kids who look different. Eventually, the kids see that although Jack LOOKS different, he still is a 10 year old kid at heart.
First, the cast is perfect for this movie. I wouldn't have picked Robin Williams to play Jack but, surprisingly, he does a superb job. You may also recognize Fran Drescher and Diane Lane, both giving brilliant performances. Second, talk about a great storyline! It truly pulls you in and allows you to feel the emotions that each of the characters feels (from Jack to his parents to his friends).
Although I wouldn't recommend this movie for younger kids, older kids and adults should LOVE this movie. Not only does it teach a thing or two, it also is a really entertaining movie that will make you laugh and cry; two elements that truly make the perfect movie.
Movie Review: Jack is great
Summary: 5 Stars
Jack is the kind of movie that will make you remember how much fun it was to be a child, and interestingly enough, it will also remind you how difficult it was to fit in and become friends with the other children. Robin Williams plays an excellent role in this film. His character is totally believable. Just imagine what would happen if a 40-year old man tried going back to school with children? The way the children responded to it would probably be the same response if such an incident were to happen in real life. You will love this movie, especially if you're an adult who loves movies that are both funny and contain good drama.Movie Review: The life maybe even shorter!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fascinating portrait about a man whose biological rhythm presents an unusual contrast .
Robin Williams in one his finest performances, makes a sensible performance about who enjoys every day of his life with major intensity than most of us. His terrible illness will avoid the necessary and required time to experience and enjoy every stage of the human life.
This is the most touching film of Coppola.
Movie Review: Amazing cast includes Robin Williams, Diane Lane & J-Lo
Summary: 5 Stars
This very funny and touching film has an amazing cast... ROBIN WILLIAMS (Mrs Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting), DIANE LANE (Unfaithful, Perfect Storm), BILL COSBY (The Cosby Show), and JENNIFER LOPEZ (Out of Sight, Maid in Manhatten).The story is cool and the directing by FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA is very good. Worth checking out for the excellent performances by the all-star cast.
Movie Review: It teaches the value of time and small things in life
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best William's movies,it'll make you cry, laugh, and think about how lucky you are of being normal and healthy and how valuable are love and time in the life of some people.
Excellent movie to be seen in family or alone (if you are ashamed of crying in front of other people)I loved this movie
