Best movie of this year hands down!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Jack is a mediocre movie with a good storyline and a great cast.The script at times felt like it was trying too hard to be both a comedy and a drama,by having one scene with really goofy humour and the next being really depressing,and it made the movie feel messy because neither the comedy or the drama was subtle.I certainly expected a lot more from a movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola,one of the greatest directors of all time who has given us classics such as the Godfather and Apocalypse Now,this movie was not something you'd expect him to make.I wasn't surprised to see Robin Williams in the title role,he really suited his character because he always has had a childlike sensibility,and was certainly the movies highlight,the best part was his emotional speech at the end.It upsets me that they got Robin Williams and Bill Cosby to be in several scenes together but didn't let them improvise any of their lines,they are both comedy legends and allowing them to do this would have been so perfect,but sadly they only got to go by the script.Jack has some funny moments and for Robin Williams sake you should check it out if it's ever on television and you have some time to kill. Since this is the first Robin Williams film I have reviewed since his death I'd just like to address it.He is one of the greatest actors of both comedy and drama,which he has proved with the awards he's won such as an Oscar and Golden Globes.Every role he ever did he gave it all of his heart,you could see it in his eyes and in the way he spoke,he loved his job.The world lost a true legend that day,but he will never be forgotten.His memory will live on.Forever.Rest in Peace Robin Williams. A ten year old boy who ages four times quicker than an average human being,finally convinces his overprotective parents to let him go to school,however,he has trouble fitting in because of his unusual condition. Best Performance: Robin Williams Worst Performance: Fran Drescher

I do not think Jack is as bad as it is made out to be, but it is one of my least favourite Francis Ford Coppola films. The film is overlong, has some weak spots in the script and drags a bit at times. However, it does look decent, with the cinematography and sceneries nicely done, the soundtrack is credible enough, Coppola directs admirably and I loved the concept(reminded me a bit of Big). Robin Williams also gives an exuberant turn in the lead, while Diane Lane and Brian Kerwin are subtle and Jennifer Lopez is surprisingly sweet and believable. Overall, Jack is a decent enough film. It is lacking a bit and one of the weaker films of a truly great director, but it is worth seeing for Williams and the concept. 6/10 Bethany Cox

This movie is better than The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather combined. It really does belong in the Top 250, because I think this is the best movie I have ever watched. It combines heartfelt drama with childish comedy. It's about a guy named Jack with a disorder that makes him look 4 times his actual age. The acting is phenomenal, and the movie is just great overall and makes you think about life. It is an imaginative, wonderful movie that I recommend to anyone and everyone, if your 6 years old or 60 years old. Don't listen to the low rating. Watch this incredible movie no matter what any critic says.10/10 or: A+

This film was really enjoyable. I think Robin Williams is a great actor and played to role of a 10 year old kid very well. I think that the kids who play Louis, Eddie and that lot are really good. The film was very emotional. I'd advise that family's and all ages watch this film. It was very funny especially when the children where calling on Jack constantly. I like the way Jack can do adult things when he is only 10. I also find it funny the way Jack has romantic moments with his best friend's mum. I also like it when all the boys give Bill Cosby skin, it shows he's down to earth with the kids. Also children will find it funny when they eat the disgusting mixture in the tree house. Overall i loved this film and advise you watch it.
