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

Robin Williams, although an immensely funny and energetic comedian, has the raw acting talent to make you truly believe in his characters.

Jack starring Robin Williams is a silly film and I can't believe it's directed by Francis Ford Coppola? The only actor who really impressed in this comedy was Diane Lane, she is too good for this kind of film. Look for a young Jennifer Lopez who plays Jack's sweet teacher. I just hated the concept of the film, even Williams couldn't save this deary weep fest.

This is such a sweet and touching movie. Robin Williams is a great actor and he played the part of Jack so well. I enjoyed watching this movie with my family.

I absolutely love this movie. It's great for the family, has some comedy and is also a tear jerker. Great cast too, Robin Williams, Diane Lane, Jennifer Lopez and Fran Drescher, to name a few.
