Jack Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
In this film by director Francis_Ford_Coppola, Robin_Williams stars as Jack, a boy who is growing normally, but at many times the normal rate. In a bizarre flashback, we see that he was born when his mother was only ten weeks pregnant. Kept out of school for years, the neighborhood children consider him a freak, and generally avoid him. He is finally required to go to public school, and we catch up to him as he enters the fourth grade for the first time, a 10-year-old boy who appears to be a fully grown man in his 40s. His classmates tease him mercilessly until they begin to see the advantages of having him around. He must also have some grown-up feelings to go along with his grown-up body, because he asks his teacher out for a date. When she refuses him, he goes off into town and gets into adult-type trouble as he courts nightclub denizen Dolores Durante (Fran_Drescher) over the objections of her boyfriend. Teacher Lawrence Woodruff (Bill_Cosby) tries (with some success) to help Jack cope with his situation. Clarke Fountain, Rovi
