After seeing the Premiere at Sundance Jo and I were shocked that Jack Black could portray my best friend perfectly, even the accent! The crowd at the premiere gave a standing ovation and we were kind of shocked how well it was done. We knew that Jack, the producers and the other actors involved looked at my videos that we filmed of Jan in the last 35 years. Talk about paying attention to detail and to the most of it following how it all went down. There was a little Hollywood in the movie but it was like it was and the best part was that at the end of the movie you can decide for yourself weather there was any real intent on Jan's part to really try to deceive people. I am proud that my years of videos, photos and stories about this charismatic person who was a big star in Poland had to start from the bottom and made it to the top before he made wrong decisions to keep the polkas alive. A Must see if you Love Jack Black!
