Movie Reviews

DVDTalk.com - 8/10 by David CorneliusThe film says so much while saying so little, and it leaves us smiling over its silent wonders.
New York Times - 8/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzMr. Jacobs's approach is descended from a long line of minimalist filmmakers, from Jacques Tati ("Monsieur Hulot's Holiday") up through Jim Jarmusch ("Mystery Train"), but The GoodTimesKid dances, like Diaz, in its own sweet style. It doesn't get to the point because getting there is the point.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Ed HalterThough the film never transcends its own neo-boho quirk, it concludes in a marvelous final shot: a long take set to Gang of Four, grungy and materialist in the Jacobs tradition.
User Review - 10/10 by Darrin NI want to buy this film!! but it's unlikely it will ever get distributed :'( I loved everything about this film, the lighting, the music, the characters, the humour and only made by 6 people- genius! The film reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite, with the main actor looking like an older version of Pedro. Vote Pedro!
User Review - 6/10 by Generoso FIn Azazel Jacobs film The Good Times Kid, the lives of two unrelated men, both named Rodolfo Cano, intertwine during a 24 hour time window in LA. They are both brought together when one of the Rodolfo's in mistaken by the US Army for the other, who has enlisted into the service. Thrown in the middle is Diaz, well played by the luminescent Sara Diaz, who toggles between the two when deciding her own future. What plays out is quite reminiscent to the early films of Jim Jarmusch, complete with understated performances, key musical moments and the saving grace of the film, stunning cinematography by Eric Curtis and director Jacobs. An extremely charming an interesting film that slipped under the radar back in 2005 but deserves a good look.
User Review - 6/10 by Danny BAzazel Jacobs explores the disconnect between reason and intuition for three people over a 24-hour span. The film seems rather rough aesthetically at points, but Jacobs' characters and their actions, or lack thereof, are the most compelling aspects. Sara Diaz is the breakout of the movie, bringing with her to the role a sense of carelessness and freedom that is difficult to recreate.
