Nathan W I'm not sure this movie needed to exist. It's a one-of-a-kind film alright, but with such a strange premise that the whole thing feels really bizarre. It was still an amusing little coming of age tale, but one that would have worked better had it maybe been approached differently. That being said, I don't think anyone besides Robin Williams could have pulled it off the degree that it did succeed. (He has a certain child-like wonder and imagination about him that was fitting for the role). There were some parts that were cute and heartwarming, but just as many that were downright awkward. I didn't think the plot was all that interesting but there were many relatable themes to be found. A desire to fit in, wanting the most out of life, and dealing with one's own mortality. It was weird to find them all in a 10 year old boy played by a grown man, but that's kind of what I'm talking about. This could have been a much better film, but there was just too many things that felt off to really connect with it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Michael V Robin Williams is so good in this but the script really lets him down at times. Had they removed the whole Fran Drescher scene and added more of what it's like as him alone would have been more intriguing. Still this movie has some good moments. We miss you Robin. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Pete D H It just does not work. It's tedious. Did not make me so much as smile let alone laugh. Even a bit creepy at times. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Blu B Where do you even start with this one. This has several big issues. First off this is such a weird idea for a movie to begin with. Second, the tone is all over the place and can turn on a dime without warning. It's either super silly, unintentionally creepy, or sad while always having a layer of awkwardness throughout. I truly can't tell you who the target audience for this is. It has so many scenes inappropiate for kids but also is way too silly/stupid for adults but too creepy for either. Finally throughout 90% of this the acting is soooooo awkward. You can tell everyone is so uncomforable saying there lines and treating Jack likes he a little kid. They clearly don't believe it and find it awkward and it shines through pretty much every scene. The music is all over the place as well from sappy to stupid and silly and just plain weird. Add in a ton of sexual innuendos, fart jokes, and weird humor that never hits once and just comes off as creepy and awkward and you can see why this is something I would'nt recommend except to the hardest of hardcore Williams fans. Everything about it is subpar and awkward. I still can't believe Copella did this....What the heck happened here.
