Review of Jack Goes Boating (2010) by Cory L — 05 Mar 2011
Another "indie" hit that you really should see. Small cast, but great characters, and great performances. Very realistic and emotionally honest. The NYC locations are fantastic and truly make the city another character.
The film starts with Jack getting set up with Connie and it seems like the first time either of these very awkard and unique characters has ever been in a relationship. Their story grows at almost the exact rate that their matchmaker friends Clyde and Lucy's long established relationship fails. The two misfits end up looking a lot more adjusted than their "normal" counterparts.
Very solid directorial debut for Philip Seymour Hoffman, with a fantastic soundtrack as well featuring the Melodians and the Fleet Foxes.
