Review of Jack Goes Boating (2010) by Daniel P — 28 Nov 2011
This film is (too) zany at times, but mostly ok.
This quirky little play to film is sometimes moving, very well acted, but most importantly awkward at times.
It hails imagination, mostly in its début direction by Hoffman and almost has a British feel to this almost independent bit of film-making. It surrounds a relationship triangle and overall is a light, comic-like love story drama.
I would agree with other reviewers that it will definitely help if you are a Hoffman fan, as it has a lot of hid DNA expectedly. It does combine sadness, optimism, tragedy and wit well, with droplets of bizzarity along the way.
