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

Product Description

Comedy favorite Robin Williams (FLUBBER, BICENTENNIAL MAN) lights up the screen in JACK, the acclaimed hit that had critics and audiences cheering! Williams stars as a mischievous 10-year-old who acts like any other boy his age, except he's in a grown-up's body. It's nonstop laughs as Jack embarks on the greatest adventure of his young life ... the fifth grade. In his wildest role ever, Williams takes you on a hilarious ride as Jack explores the ups and downs of life from a kid's point of view! With Bill Cosby (TV's THE COSBY SHOW), and sexy Fran Drescher (TV's THE NANNY), Diane Lane (UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN), and Jennifer Lopez (JERSEY GIRL) -- join the millions of moviegoers who loved this outrageous comedy hit!

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was good! December 13, 2005
Format:DVD
It's a cute family movie- Robin Williams is as good as you'd expect. His portrayal of a child is superb, and his parents, and friends are equally sincere and genuine. Bill Cosby is a nice addition to the story. One of Jennifer Lopez's first movies, and I thought she was good. OK, so it's based very loosely on the real disorder of kid's aging quickly, but it's a movie! It's still cute. I'd recommend it-

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The life maybe even shorter! May 6, 2006
Format:DVD
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.
