So Cliche It's Good,
By Sarah Smith (Leslie, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jackie's Back (DVD)
All the diva jokes and funny one liners are all very typical and cliche of this type of movie, but still between Jenifer Lewis and Tim Curry they manage to pull it off and still make it a damn good movie.While reading through the other reviews for this product, I noticed that everyone constantly praises Lewis but unless I missed something, no one said a thing about Curry. I'm not trying to take the spotlight away from Jenifer Lewis...she was amazing considering that this is her first movie. However, no one has acknowledged Tim's great work on the film. I heard someone comment the other day that his acting was too [unrealistic]and over the top in this movie. Hello! ... He's supposed to be acting like that, considering that he plays the part of the host of a low budget documentary. Some people can be real stupid, ... Anyway, I thought I was going to die laughing when I saw the look on Tim's face when Jackie's cross-dressing dress designer came into her dressing room. I also loved it when Jackie's playmama said that white people all smelled like wet potatoe chips. Again, Tim's face was priceless. He's the kind of actor that's good enough that he needs no words to get his point across, the expression says it all. Another one of my favorite parts is when he admits to Jackie that when first asked to do the documentary he had never heard of her, and then she said, 'They played my records in England,' and he replies, 'Yes...but I never heard them.' Anyway, it's filled with plenty of other gut busting scenes. I've waited and waited for this movie to be released on DVD after I first saw it on Lifetime...and finally my wish has come true. Buy Jackie's Back today, it's so bad it's good.

Top-notch music and comedy,
By Gerry Aire (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jackie's Back (DVD)
This movie is so well-loved by everyone who sees it, that when I sing the theme song "Yield" in public, everyone immediately recognizes it (and laughs). Definitely the funniest comedy ever...why it wasn't released to theaters is a mystery. Wish we had a soundtrack album with all the great songs.

Now my favorite movie...,
By R. Gordon "Tech Enthusiast" (Decatur, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jackie's Back (DVD)
This is a funny movie. I think Jennifer Lewis finally found the perfect role here. I purchased this after renting it a couple of times. It's the type of movie I'll play once or twice a month easily. I can't wait for "Jackie's Back (again)--the sequel", though I realize that will never happen.
