    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Jack is Francis Coppola at his most pointless noodling, looking for the film he wants to make instead of just making it. Robin Williams stars as 10-year-old Jack, a boy with an inexplicable disease that ages him at four times the normal human rate. Kept at home like a contemporary Boo Radley, Jack becomes a neighborhood legend until his parents relent and send him to school. In time, the other kids befriend him and stay loyal as his hyperdevelopment puts a strain on his body and emotions. The idea is sound, but the execution is a bore. The best the script and Coppola can come up with are painfully long scenes in which Williams's character proves himself on the playground and in gross-out contests in a tree house. Coppola fishes around for signs of life and spontaneity in these scenes, but the film is actually best when Jack has to cope with certain feelings in his mature body (such as his attraction to a character played by Fran Drescher) that he isn't prepared for emotionally. Jack would have been a lot better if Coppola had embraced a plan from beginning to end and stuck to it. --Tom Keogh

    2 out of 5 stars Diane Lane & Jennifer Lopez can only do so much   September 22, 2008
     1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    One gloomy night in August, Brain Powell and Karen Powell (Brain Kerwin and Diane Lane) decided they would like to be parents. Two months later at a Halloween party Karen realized that the baby was ready to get out after only two months. Had the baby ripped out Aliens-style, this movie would have no doubt been better; however, it wasn't meant to be. Nonetheless, the Halloween-spawn came forth as Karen delivered what essentially turned out to be the Wolfman.

    It turns out that Karen delivered her baby, Jack (Robin Williams), seven months early because he's aging at four-times the rate of a normal human. What was left out of the explanation, however, was that along with the quadrupled growth rate, Jack had hair growth at roughly 25 times the normal rate. That's the only explanation for Jack ending up looking like a 40 year old wearing a fur coat or an extra for Planet of the Apes. Given Williams' resemblance to the guy one step from the right on the evolutionary chart, I suppose the premise is not all that unbelievable. Williams playing an innocent, character who diddles and fidgets like a child, on the other hand, is just awkward.

    Anyway, by the time Jack is ready for school he looks like a middle-aged adult. He eventually ends up going to public school where he's horribly out of place, and it's much worse than you would expect for a movie in which Robin Williams plays a grade-schooler. In all the appropriate places, where a child interacts with parents, a heartwarming pause is felt by all. Except anyone with a pulse. Essentially he's the proverbial turd in a punchbowl. It's just Robin Williams hamming it up for the camera for 2 hours, basically the same thing he did in the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" video - a grown man willing to flush his dignity down the toilet in order to do ridiculous things that only he finds amusing.

    Thank goodness for the combined efforts of the talented and gorgeous Diane Lane, and the sexy, nubile school teacher played by Jennifer Lopez. If not for those two, this atrocity of a movie may have caused riots. I only recommend this movie for severely deranged masochists.

    This is another great Williams movie. Could not find in anywhere, except for Amazon. Delivery was fast - as always. Came in great condition too. Been shopping with Amazon for awhile and will continue. They make it easy and fun.

    4 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Williams Movie!   September 19, 2007
    If you liked Patch Adams you'll like Jack! Excellent emotional, heart-warming, you'll feel sad movie. Story of a child (Jack) with a disease that makes him age about 3 years to 1; so at 10 he looks and internally is 30. It follows his life and all the positives (created by his family) and negatives created by others, he must face. 10 hankie movie.
