Why Freddie?

This movies predictability was predictable, nothing fresh or new in anyway. I do think Freddie Prinze Jr. is actually a good actor but either his choices in movies or the movies that come his way all suck, pretty much. Taryn... Full review

This is definitely the worst movie I have seen in the past few years. The idea wasn't bad: corporate-type guy meets cute hippie girl who, unfortunately, suffers from a fatal disease. The two fall in love, have a "disagreement", break... Full review

I thought this movie had a fantastic story, but ended up being a bit bland. I think casting could have been a lot better. The girl who played Jill played a good role, but i don't think it was Jills... Full review

This is a film with a message. Unfortunately that message - fair-trade coffee is good, advertising is stupid, having cystic fibrosis sucks - is incredibly trite.Beyond that, the film is desperately uneven. Taryn Manning is partly kooky and charming, partly... Full review

This is a sweet movie that i enjoyed watching! When the movie finished I was left smiling and said to myself that I would see it again. It was cute, sweet, smart, funny, and well-filmed. It even made me cry.... Full review

I would recommend this movie. My only critique is that the character development in the beginning is weak, as there is considerable reliance on a narrator. Notwithstanding that, Freddie Prinze, Taryn Manning and Vanessa Parise all compliment each other and... Full review

Perhaps the aim of "Jack and Jill" is to disarm the audience by heading down a CW-pilot road filled with glamorous New York locations, quirky supporting characters, and a multitude of bubbly musical montages; the picture is riddled with hokey moments, elaborately building itself up as a common rom-com of warring, yet loving opposites. ...

Fortunately, despite this looming threat that Jack and Jill vs. The World is about to go all preachy, it does not.
But rather than a kooky love affair centered by a sort-of Holly Golightly character, Parise has deeper issues to explore.

Convinced that he truly loves Jill, Lucy admits that Jill is catching a Greyhound bus cross-country to Los Angeles.
Jack's best friend and partner, George (Peter Stebbings), notices a more playful side to Jack's usual cynical personality, and wants to meet the cause.

Jill is hot, with a bright, slightly dithered personality, which does her little good in landing acting jobs and, when she finally does get a commercial, in performing with much professionalism.
Jack (Prinze) is a happy bachelor leading the kind of life that's as uncomplicated as he want it to be.
