Jack And Sarah Reviews

A great film to watch again and again.

Hadn't seen this movie for many years and almost forgot how good it is. Jack a high flying lawyer who looses his wife in child birth - it sounds very depressing but in actual fact it deals with this both sensitively and with a great deal of humour. It is a heart warming tale of a father coming to terms and coping with child care as a single parent with the aid of a nanny. Great to watch again.

Delightful, hearwarming story

Richard E. Grant is excellent as the man whose wife dies in childbirth, and is forced to look after his new daughter, eventually hiring a slightly useless American waitress as a nanny. However, this is not all sloppy slush, there are some great comic moments - Ian McKellen is great as the alcoholic tramp Grant befriends (opening conversation - Grant: 'What are you doing in there? That's my skip!' McKellen: 'No it's not, I was here first!').

This film is the best I've watched in a long time. It puts you through lots of different emotions. First there's happiness at the thought of becoming parents for the first time. Excitement at the approaching birth. Then devastation and sadness at the loss of poor Sarah. Poor Jack just becomes a new dad and a widow at the same time, its all to much for him and he hits the bottle. But like all great movies, his life is turned upside down by baby Sarah on there first meeting, made possible by her adoring grandparents. From then on everthing starts to fall into place. There are a lot of funny scenes to come which will have you in stitches. Then we have true love, but you know the saying true love never runs smoothly. But Jack gets his act together in the end for a wonderful happy family ending. Tissues at the ready.

Sloppy Classic....

More of a chock flick than anything else, but a very enjoyable film. With hind sight three stars is a little harsh. Not a film to watch if you fancy some light hearted fun and a bit of cheering up, but a good film nonetheless. Some very famous actors in the cast all of whom pull off extremely plausable parts. Defo. one to rent.

I have just one word to describe this film....BORING.I hoped for it to get better it didn`t With such outstanding actors I was extremely disappointed.

Characters were stale and unforgetable but the baby was cute.

Entertaining enough

I liked Jack, sometimes a bit had to believe, but he is cool!

Fantastic!

I loved this movie. It had me in tears from the very beginning as it really is acted and portayed well.

My only downfall of the movie is the ending which was good, except I probably would have been a of the dissaproving Mother not being happy with the fresh relationship.

Fantastic Film

A heartwarming film that leaves you wanting more. Some great comic moments that have you laughing out loud mixed with just the right amount of sadness. Great acting all round but a special mention must go to Ian McKellen, who in my opinion was superb as the vagrant and Richard E Grant who portrays Jack's happiness and sadness with such great effect. Great cast, great film. Rent it, you won't be dissapointed
