Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member What I got to say about "The Jerk Theory" is that it's a decent movie. The performances by the cast is good. "Josh Henderson and Jenna Dewan-Tatum work great with each other plus, the both have flawless chemistry." The directing by Scott S. Anderson and screenplay by Abraham Taylor is fine. The cinematography is really good. And the score in this movie works excellent. I personally live the score. "I have to report that "The Jerk Theory" is movie that is okay of a movie."
