The talented Robin Williams (“Bicentennial Man”, “Aladdin”) has starred in some great movies over the years but this isn’t one of them. “Jack” is a very cynical film that should be missed for so many reasons you can’t count them all.

Jack (Williams) is a boy who has a body that is growing four times faster than normal. When he’s age 10, he has the body of a 40 year old. In this film Jack goes to school for the first time and suffers every single problem you could expect to happen as nothing has any subtlety. All the antics in this movie are extremely childish but some comedies manage to pull off that sort of childish humour but “Jack” definitely can’t.

Robin Williams proves to be pretty annoying as Jack. I thought he was irritating in “Bicentennial Man” but that has nothing on this awful performance by a talented actor heavily misguided. Other big names such as Jennifer Lopez (“Maid In Manhattan”) and Bill Cosby are added into the mix but don’t improve anything. This is a classic example of a movie that misuses big names. It seems like they’re only there so that people will go to the movie because they’re in it as they don’t do anything worth watching.

“Jack” is a horrible movie no matter how you look or try to look at it. There isn’t one moment in this entire film where I enjoyed myself. Bad acting, bad story and bad humour make this a must stay away from type of film. This is a real shame as I hate to see someone with as much talent as Robin Williams go to waste like in this picture when he could be doing something much more worthwhile. I have backed Robin Williams on his choice of films when he did “Jumanji” but this is another one of his stinkers alongside “Bicentennial Man”.
