Looking for the Jackalope

I watched this movie on amazon prime and absolutely loved it. it brought back so many memories, both of my college days and my 40th college reunion. it is warm, sometimes cringeworthy, and just a fun film to watch.

do see it for yourself.

Well developed characters that draw you into their lives. Definitely recommend. Laugh out loud and unconventional is the best possible way. Comedy and drama, well-written, excellent cinematography, and superb acting. Put this gem on your watch list!

Overly long, and one of the most boring movies I've seen. It comes across like it wants to be funny, but it's never accomplished. Not even worth watching if it's free. The Jackalope (Stephen Root) part is virtually non-existent.

From the start the lead character is relatable. The night's experience of getting to the class reunion, reminds me of times where my evening truly went off the rails, so it became very relatable. The female lead lacked something for me, I didn't feel any form of connection to him. Yes, you'll say it's because of what manifests in the story, but she wouldn't be as frigid. Just felt her acting suffered compared to his oddness. Overall a great laugh.

I just finished watching Looking for the Jackalope, and it's freaking GREAT!

I LOVED this film, it was really fun, and then quite profound in the end. It's so funny, I was laughing out loud. At first the character Jordan (Michael Leydon Campbell) is SO cringeworthy, such a loser that your thinking, "come on, man, really?"

Then it builds to such a raucous, hilarious and noble ending. Really well directed, really well cast and superbly acted - I was looking at all the little nuances of body language.

Larry Clarke as Doctor Jim is bloody great, and the subtlety of Meissa Hampton's performance as Jennifer is inspired.

Mary Testa as the no-nonsense, down-to-earth agent is also excellent.

The only difference between this and a big hit comedy is STARS. If this was Will Farrell or Ben Stiller and John Goodman (or Josh whoever) it would be a studio picture.

It's every bit as funny as Albert Brooks' Lost in America - and that's funny - so if you liked that, you'll love this.

I don't know much about filmmaking, but I know when I enjoy a good film, and I would recommend Looking for the Jackalope to anyone who enjoys intelligent, grown-up comedies.
