Movie Review
Grade: C-
Jack had an original formula unseen in any other movies, and who better to fill the role of a 40 year boy than Robin Williams? Surprisingly, both with him and Bill Cosby, the movie wasn't very funny. It dealt with too many adult themes such as sex and romance, not to mention heart conditions and so forth. Jack had potential but they screwed it up big time. Read the full movie review
