Randy Cordova Arizona Republic The big premise in Jake's Corner is a little hard to swallow. Rated: 2/5 Sep 4, 2008 Full Review Chad Greene Boxoffice Magazine On a technical level, Jake(TM)s Corner looks less like a theatrical release than an extended pilot for a Northern Exposure-style small-town sitcom. Rated: 2/5 Sep 11, 2008 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review ...the leisurely pace gives characters room to breathe and grow on us. Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2008 Full Review Phil Villarreal Arizona Daily Star We sure could use you at Arizona Stadium, Johnny Dunn. Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Just wonderful and B.J. Thomas is the man! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple story of deceit is acted in a way where lots of questions are narrated to God. The acting is hit and miss at times but, is carried by the lead, just. Music is folk and country style which adds the western style setting. The script is well written it is just the actors that let it down. Christian themed, however this weakens the story rather than adding anything useful. Nibbles: Steak and Fries. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very average but enjoyable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Jake's Corner is an overall good movie. It takes place in a small desert town were the characters will grow on you. The only thing that I didn't like is that the kid in this movie. His acting was very dry. Danny Trejo played a character that was totally diffrent than what he usally plays and shows his acting range. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An OK movie but something I wouldnt watch more then once Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Richard Tyson (Black Hawk Down, Something About Mary, Kindergarten Cop) as Johnny Dunn gives the performance of his career as an NFL star who owns an isolated town in the high desert of Arizona. Dunn?s life is forever changed when his young nephew comes to live with him. This is a heartrending and finely nuanced film. The cast includes a fantastic Danny Trejo (Heat, Grindhouse) who goes far away from his usual tough guy role and plays a simple and sympathetic man. It?s also a pleasure to see 3-Time Academy Award Nominee Diane Ladd (Alice Doesn?t Live Here Anymore, Wild at Heart) return to the big screen. There are great moments of comedy mainly from David Della Rocco (Boondock Saints) who plays the town grill master. 5-Time Grammy Winner BJ Thomas (Hooked on a Feelin, Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song) is superb as the town doctor and saloon singer. Thomas sings a few new tracks in this film and his voice is as pure as it was when he sang the Academy Award winning song ?Raindrops Keep Fallin on my Head? from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This is a film that you should watch with your family. It runs the gamut of emotions. Jake?s Corner is optimistic and implores all of us as humans to ?keep on keeping on?... I recommend people ?keep on seeing? this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
