    This feel-good motion picture is intelligently written and expertly directed.
  2. Within the limits and cliches of utterly predictable material, Mr. Coppola is still finally able to make this one from the heart.
  3. Francis Ford Coppola's Jack has its affecting moments, but in the end illustrates the pitfalls of the "concept" movie, the kind you can boil down to a one-line hook.
  4. 38
    [Robin Williams] has been ill-served by a screenplay that isn't curious about what his life would really be like.

    I might be alone but I love this movie
  2. Jack means well and is undeniably pleasant, but it features most of the actors at there worst and it has an absurd plot and just simply tries to make you cry way too hard. I give this movie 20%. Expand
