Old Man Jackson

This movie is great, when seeking a film experience for what it has to offer! No sexual innuendo or content, no profanity, no political, social otherwise subversive or subliminal messaging! Hard to find in anything made now days. The production wasn't easy as it's independent budget that hard working regular every day people funded. This is a G rated, family fun friendly comedy experience that I feel children will get, teens, adults of any age and even the older generation can identify with. There are older actors that fans can remember from their childhoods. The pilot of the movie is relatable for anyone struggling with everyday problems, especially in this era. This was all about one man's one bad day just trying to make it through to find happiness, I can understand that. Struggles at work. Struggles at home. Struggles from your past. Struggles worrying about your future. Struggles in the drive thru placing an order. Struggling with life's philosophical meanings. Struggle getting in to see a doctor. Struggles with being told we're all the same and equal while a beneficial expectation to others to cut in line because of those same characteristics that give excuses of victimization. Struggle with handling anger and emotional outcry, but all in a humorous, slapstick way calling back to old school filmography. The director does a great job recruiting and cultivating the wide array of talent for this film. He recognizes what people bring to the table in being funny in just every day life. Some of the funniest people, and things that happen in life happen naturally, organically, not stand up comedians or Hollywood writers but, the funny friend or coworker who makes the hours of the day go by so much easier because of your experience with them. That's what this movie brings to the big screen!

Funny and kinda slapstick at times. A good family movie. When u think you are having a bad day!

Great actors well done film. You may recognize quite a few of the actors in it. This was Johnny Ray Gibbs first production directing has he has been an actor in many films including The Highwayman with Kevin Costner. Starring in the film is David Born who is absolutely hilarious his reactions and his expressions and comments really help solidify the movie. Then you have Kathy Garver could not have had a better person playing across from him she keeps him on his toes it helps to control his hypochondriac condition. A lot of other names in the film that you will recognize all in all it's a good solid comedy.

Loved this movie! It's rare to find an indi movie to actually make me laugh. Even though the movie was longer than your average movie, it was entertaining enough to keep my ADHD engaged. So while it's impossible for me to sit through anything, I didn't even get up for the bathroom. I especially thought the ending was hilarious. And the editing and camera work was great work! I think that was some of the best parts. It was so cool to see such excellent work for an independent movie. There are blockbuster movies with less effort than I saw with this movie. I'm showing this too all my film major friends to watch for inspiration and appreciation!

I enjoyed this lighthearted comedy very much. I had quite a few laugh out loud moments! I related to Mr. Jackson because we have all had these bad days, but not to this extreme thank goodness haha. I found myself cheering for him to escape his freaky unpredictable nightmare of a day. David Born was made to play this role. Kathy Garver shined as always. I always like watching Robert LaSardo so that was a win. Director Johnny Ray Gibbs not only wrote this film, but also acts in it. His hard work and effort paid off! Great job! Even the music was engaging and fitting for the action happening in the film. The camera work was great, as was the editing. Definitely worth a watch. Great film!

A well made indie film that is geared to be light and funny entertainment. It's not Shakespeare but it serves its purpose. The trials of an everyman - just like many Charlie Chaplin films. 99% of this film being a day in the life of a fellow where everything goes wrong in a comedic sense as he tries to get back home. Great cameos here and there. David Born as that everyman, doesn't miss a beat - as the lead in this "The Odyssey meets Buster Keaton" esk film.

I did like that as a running gag the lead keeps ending up in the same hospital but much worse for the wear each time. Many of his trials we can all associate with. Also his reaching out to the Catholic church only to be confronted by the priest and then chased out on his ear by the very funny nun bearing an active ruler.
