Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Lily-32 That's what it felt like. Maybe that was the intent. It wasn't too hard to fill in the blanks at times but if the story isn't a mystery or something, a viewer should have to try and fill in the blanks as often as this movie required. The toughest character to figure out was William. Was he a bum? Wasn't he? When he left how wasn't he a bum anymore? And telling the time frame was a bit difficult at times too. Oh well. It wasn't awful but I doubt I'd watch it more than once. The ending was rather predictable. Not that that's totally awful in a movie like this. You don't see a romcom with the intent of some majorly drastic plot twist.And yeah, they should give a better warning about the language. Netflix rates it PG but that is not US PS language.

gcd70 This potentially heart-rending tale of one man's tragic loss and his attempt to go on with life is without the necessary emotional impact and dramatic power to really work. "Jack and Sarah" tries to encompass too many genres, swinging as it does from near satire to near pathos without warning, leaving the viewer more surprised than moved. Our writer/director Tim Sullivan appears to prepare us for an unorthodox comedy about starting a family, then hits us with a bombshell that causes the plot to make a complete about face. During the course of the film more about faces are incorporated (not blended) which serves only to tantalise, but not fulfil, the audience's emotions. Still, in this light it is something different - British of course - from the usual romantic-comedies being churned out these days.Richard E. Grant slides comfortably into the role of the dad who doesn't seem to know when he's on a good thing. A most enjoyable turn from an agreeable actor. In support of him is the evergreen Judi Dench, as his sour old mum, and Imogen Stubbs, as his tragic wife. Samantha Mathis is the other completely disarming lead, playing the young American lass who takes an immediate shining to baby Sarah, and promptly signs up as Jack's nanny.Certainly "Jack and Sarah" could have been an unforgettable, emotionally powerful drama. However the light, almost aloof manner that has been adopted here leaves a distinct British feel to this pic, but gives it no chance of becoming dramatically moving. Thankfully a change, yet falls short of its potential.Saturday, February 3, 1996 - Astor Theatre

tbear1990 that was one of the cutest movies I have seen in a while. The baby was just adorable. Eventough I was five when it first came out I saw it. I really didn't understand what it was about and why my mom was so sad. I just like the music. Now that it is ten years later. I can understand it this time and fully appreciate the trials and tribulations that Jack went through to ensure the survival of his daughter. There are some big name actors in the movie. Even though they probably weren't big at the time of the release a lot of things can change in ten years. I would recommend this movie to anyone who asks about a a movie with a baby and a it was a love story.

spinbunny A total chick flick (gotta admit) but just cute cute cute.An american woman falls into a nanny job for a recent Brit widower and finds herself over her head --- in love with the baby, and the dad.Funny performance by Richard E. Grant, Ian McKellan, Judy Dench (always a gem!) and Samantha Mathis. Life is just a series of mishaps, conflicts and comedy for this Yank in London until she finds love (what else would we expect) --- a good way to spend a Saturday night in front of the boob-toob --- do not expect to be enlightened but do expect some laughter and tears --- it is romantic and emotional (his secretary is a hoot, his boss is a bitch who you love to see dumped on her tight snooty ass!) --- a nice two hours to spend coming away with a smile!
