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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Sweet And Gentle Movie
Robin Williams, although an immensely funny and energetic comedian, has the raw acting talent to make you truly believe in his characters. He can emotionally engage you and allows for his supporting cast to remain prominent in his films without being overshadowed by the big characters that he plays. Patch Adams & Mrs. Doubtfire are two very fine examples of how Robin Williams can present an immensely funny character, yet retains a level of depth and reality that allow for the hysterical laughter ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Predictable.
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent family movie
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sad
this is a very sad movie
i could never imagin how tis family comes to terms with having a son that looks older then he is.
i dont think anyone can understand how they will feel unles put under that situation



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jack
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.
