They make fun of the fat kid and the kid who wears glasses, Mom frets. What do you think I theyll do to the hairy ot kid? Well, it isnt easy, but thanks to a very sweet teacher Good Excellent Superb Fauna Jones Movie Critic You can watch Jack, starring Robin Williams as a boy in a mans body, without comparing the file to Big. With Big Tom Hanks got his first Oscar nomination for his amazing turn as the who turned over night. Robin big Williams performance matches some of the daring of Hanks classic turn, but Jack is not Big. Poorfc Fair Jack (Robin Williams) is your average except for one thing he has a rare condition that ages him at four times the normal rate. So while he has the mind and emotions of your average fifth grader, he looks 40 years old. Jacks parents (Diane Lane, Brian Kerwin) have tried to shelter their boy from a world that wouldnt understand him. He has his own private tutor (Bill Cosby) and a toy collection to impress Prince William. What he lacks, of course, is contact (Jennifer Lopez) and a bunch of kids who make him one of the gang (Adam Zolotin is very good as his best friend), Jack finally fits in. A very uneasy biend of pathos and comedy, Jack has a high squirm factor. 1 faulted a doomed story line even director Francis Ford Coppolas expertise cant save. James DeMonaco and Gary Nadeaus screenplay leans heavily on kiddy high jinks to divert our attention from it being inevitable that Jack will be dead before hes old enough to legally buy the dirty magazine hes been buying for his buddies. But that knowledge is always there, the lump of coal in the Christmas stocking, and the pictures comic inclinations are ever at odds with the obvious outcome. Moreover, Williams is allowed a few scenes of his trademark riffs which would be fine free-associati- except that Jack is only ten and mentally incapable of this sort of humor. So instead of identifying with Jack, we watch Robin Williams playing Jack. Jack Bottom line: wants to capture the body magic of Big, but the magic is in short supply. (Hollywood Pictures. Whos it for? Solid Robin Williams fans. I (12) would recommend Jack for families, in between flatulence contests and drippy valedictorian speeches the moral worth is ambivalent at best.) JACKS GREAT ADVENTURE: Jack Powell (Robin Williams) appears to be an average, man, who plays with G.l. Joe and wears Power Ranger pajamas Jack suffers from a raie genetic disorder that causes him to age four times faster than normal, physically but not mentally. In fact, Jack is only age 10 in Hollywood Pictures' release of Jack." j !
