Movie Reviews

Reel Honest Reviews - 10/10 by Pamela PowellA fast-paced, comedically intense film which capitalizes on the energy and talent of not only the cast, but also the succinctly written script.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Stephen DaltonGoldberg has made a commendably adventurous and mostly enjoyable meta-comedy that recalls both the best and worst of 1970s Hollywood.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 5/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniGoldberg buries the heart of the movie beneath several layers of pretentious film-school effects.
New York Times - 4/10 by Ben KenigsbergJake Squared combines the most grating tendencies of meta navel-gazing with the sexism of reality television — pushing the limit of viewer tolerance to zero.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Simon AbramsMore enervating than it is ambitious, Jake Squared is partly a romantic comedy and mostly a pseudo-philosophical apology for self-absorption.
Los Angeles Times - 2/10 by Charles SolomonKoteas and the rest of the cast (including Jane Seymour, Virginia Madsen and Jennifer Jason Leigh) struggle gamely with the material, but they're defeated by the nonstop chatter, Goldberg's flat-footed direction and the needlessly choppy cutting.
User Review - 10/10 by Samantha BINCREDIBLE MOVIE! I feel like this is a love or hate movie, when people don't understand it they get irritated because you have to play close attention to follow it. I completely disagree with these ratings, the movie is awesome! I've seen it 5 times
User Review - 8/10 by Lennie RGreat performances by Gia Mantegna and Kevin Railsback who show some real potential. Elias Koteas was solid, as he should be. The whole film was summed up on the opening scene. This is a whimsical story about a middle aged man who hasn't succeeded at career or love life. Jake struggles to find some meaning in life as well as an end to his loneliness. The story is confusing with 3 actors playing Jake at various stages in life, and it's never quite resolved whether the Jakes who show up at a party are real or fantasy. Attempts to break too many story telling rules and falters a bit, leaving the audience as confused as the main character. Male audience will enjoy the gratuitous bikini babes in hot tub. Was hoping for a little more plot development, but all in all a good rental
User Review - 8/10 by Robert SA smart conceit connecting filmmaking, love, and the gaining of wisdom, through loss, is played out with California optimism and sunlight. JAKE SQUARED is a thoroughly enjoyable romp through one man's subconscious. Over the course of the film-taking place in the film within the film- Jake literally confronts, his former selves; not as ghosts or visions, but as flesh and blood beings. Each self brings with him his own resentments as to why Jake did x or failed to do y. Of course, the failures had to do with finding and losing beautiful lovers who would have been perfect for him at that time. His earlier selves, at 20, 30 and 40, are played/dressed to fit their their time, are all quite good, as are the women, Jake lacked the courage or maturity to love. In the end, all the selves eventually reconcile with various selves over the difficulties of finding lasting or true love. Most helped along by the appearance of the woman in question at the time. At times, the film is facile, staying on the surface, and other time silly (in the best sense of the word). It is also surprising touching, if you allow yourself to consider honestly all the loves you let slip through your hands and pass through your heart. I recommend the film as a balm for times when you feel wistful or nostalgic. In its sincerity, JAKE SQUARED offers the same bittersweet pleasure felt reading through all the love letters you've kept, from all the lovers you've known, over the course of your life.
User Review - 8/10 by James LThis was a fun watch, in the vein of "Adaptation" or "Being John Malkovich", Jake Squared uses terrific metaphors and visual interest to communicate otherwise confusing (for the screen at least) and complex ideas. You'll see a little of yourself in Jake, and it will give you pause, but not before the movie gives you a great time and fun experience. A great example of what can really be done in independent cinema!
