Turnaround Jake

I saw this movie at a special premiere in a local theater that was also showing other popular films (such as Jersey Boys, etc). I had to try to see it on three different days because most of the shows were sold out. I totally enjoyed the movie; it was funny, romantic, and had some surprises, including a message that really related to me (my friends and I are still talking about it). I also felt that Jarret LeMaster did an excellent job as Jake, a successful young man climbing the corporate ladder when his crooked boss pinned the blame for dishonest deals on him. On the run from the FBI, he escaped to his small hometown in Texas where he rekindled with his family and old girlfriend (Jen Lilley). When offered his job back, Jake was faced with some difficult decisions. Also, Mark Withers, as Jake's dad, was hilarious as he mumbled and stumbled around trying to guide Jake. I think that the writer/producer Shawn Svoboda really hit the mark on a relevant and interesting story. I heard that the DVD is coming out for Valentine's Day and will also be closed captioned so my deaf friends can see it too.

When and is there going to be a sequel to the movie. I feel like this movie as Emma said in the movie a "real life movie" and really makes you think of how you can lose where you came from sometimes and you always need to take a break and spend time with family and old friends. This movie was a really well put together movie and enjoyed it a lot.... can't wait to see if there is a sequel. In the beginning the movie felt very boring and tiring. I feel it could be more up beat and it sounded sort of quiet. If you make a sequel can you please make if so that the beginning feels like its taking forever to start. they do a good job in casting the kid Emma is really resembled the parents well. I also hope that when or if they make a sequel they will introduce more characters from Jake's past life at hope and really shore Emma grow up. and show possible Jake having a kid. Or getting married. There are so many ways they could take this movie in positive ways. but over all i feel this movie puts out good message to viewers giving them a thought to re think some of the things they do / act on and help themselves get closer to family and old friends.
