Old Man Jackson

Innocent and light hearted, off beat without taking itself serious, minor continuity questions, but none the less a simple elegant bad day comedy that speaks of a bygone, Stoogesesque day.

David Born and Kathy Garver shine as a long suffering couple. The film hits its notes well.

And director Johnny Ray truly shines as lovelorn Buford probably the best subplot of the entire film.

And let's not for get that this film was shot during the height of the hardest times to meet, and be around folks, and that if not grit, determination, hard work and skill the film would have never been finished.

I'd give it twenty stars or more if I could,

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.

Clean, no skin, no smut, just a fantastic comedy that the whole family can enjoy. A truly funny story of a guy that just keeps having the worse luck. The situational comedy mixed with a great cast gives us a sensational comedy that had the whole theater laughing and clapping. Speaking of cast, Kathy Graver is so funny, but classy and lovely at the same time. David Dorn's performance is spot on and totally nailed the character. And watch for the cameos of Buford, Mr Gibbs totally brought him to life.

If we had more directors like Mr Gibbs, the entertainment industry would not be in such shambles.
