Old Man Jackson

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.

Funny and kinda slapstick at times. A good family movie. When u think you are having a bad day!

Great actors well done film. You may recognize quite a few of the actors in it. This was Johnny Ray Gibbs first production directing has he has been an actor in many films including The Highwayman with Kevin Costner. Starring in the film is David Born who is absolutely hilarious his reactions and his expressions and comments really help solidify the movie. Then you have Kathy Garver could not have had a better person playing across from him she keeps him on his toes it helps to control his hypochondriac condition. A lot of other names in the film that you will recognize all in all it's a good solid comedy.

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!

I can't understand why this was rated so high unless the ratings are filled with bots or schills. Low budget, bad acting, weak plot, and way too long. My wife and I love classic comedys and we thought we'd give this a try. I wished I'd looked to see that there were only 71 reviews before I started.

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,
