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!

I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in such a long time. It's honestly a shame that films like this are so hard to come by these days. There's a real need for more family-friendly comedies that are genuinely funny and heartwarming, without the usual forced agendas that seem to dominate modern films. What really stood out to me was how refreshing it was to watch something that focused purely on humor and fun, without trying to push any social or political message. Old Man Jackson, in particular, reminded me of the classic charm found in Steve Martin's films-witty, clever, and full of heart. It was so well-balanced in its humor, with a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. I truly believe Old Man Jackson has the potential to become a beloved classic over time, and I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves. We need more films like this, ones that focus on pure entertainment and quality comedy, and that don't feel the need to align with today's trends or political climate. This film feels like a breath of fresh air in an era where genuine, family-friendly comedy is becoming harder to find. Well done! Bravo!

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!

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.

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.
