Jackie's Back....first of all I had no idea what kind of movie this might be...and to be honest...I only bought it because of Whoopi Goldberg ;) But what I get so see was a great experience and my first mockumentary at all...it's amazing....and really gripping to watch...10 stars for this movie Jenifer Lewis did a great job and it's amazing how many stars take part...you really have to see it...For those of you in Germany or any other European country who want to watch this movie...it's not that easy to get this movie...because it has only been published in the USA...I got it via internet and a famous internet action ;) It's worth its money !!!!!

Jackie's Back should be remember for three things. 1/ Jenifer Lewis'scene stealing performances. She completely shines in this movie. 2/ The mockumentary style of the film. Think: Best in Show, A Mighty Wind. and 3/ The cameos. The cameos in this movie are of the best that i think i have seen. You've got Dolly Parton, Whoopi Goldberg, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Chris Rock, Sean Hayes, Ricki Lake, Rosie O'Donnell, David Hyde Pierce, Melissa Etheridge to name a FEW!Jackie's back must not be taken too seriously or as a piece of cinematic history. It is not Oscar worthy script, but it's damn hilarious. Sit back, relax and watch the celebrities bag the s@$! out of Jackie Washington.

Yeah so I LOVE this movie!...I have seen it so many times and most of my friends have seen it at least once or heard me quote something from it!...It unfortunate that it didn't get the notoriety that it should have. I'm thinking I'm going to take this movie to school and suggest that they show it one of those movie night gatherings they put together from time to time. It also seems like the movie is hard to find when one does want to buy or rent it. I got it as a gift, from friends who are now also hooked on this movie but even they had a hard time finding it. At any rate, if you haven't seen this movie then you must go rent or buy it soon!......P.S. the last 20 minutes is good!

Frankly, I started to watch this solely for the splendidly delightful Tim Curry. I was rather puzzled and not sure what to expect by the title and "mocumentary" description. What I found was a lighthearted movie just full of laughs and a pleasure to watch! Of course Tim Curry turned in another marvelous performance, this time quite understated. Jenifer Lewis I was unfamiliar with, but now I will watch for her. Curry and Lewis complemented each other well. The young actress who played Ontondre I thought was especially good, and I hope to see more of her in the future. My only complaint is that it wrapped up a little too quickly and kinda sappy -- just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the movie -- but altogether a relatively minor point that really didn't detract much. Its just delightful! Top rated!
