Wonderful character development!

Very well executed

Really Surprised!

Lack of good storyline.

I love the music. Its probably the best performance from Katherine so far. I look forward to more of the same. This film is really refreshing and real. The characters resonate the reality of what the majority of folks in this country are struggling to handle in present day America. The movie is addressing what is important in life. I found it to be a powerful expression of our need to accept responsibility for our own lives and our roles in life as true creators. The characters expressed what it means to live their lives in a responsible loving way. A way of living that gives respect to ones fellowman, not trying to control everything and everybody for ones own personal gain. It's about unconditional love and personal honor. How can that ever be boring?

I am not even half way through this movie. Very slow. Terribly boring. There is no excitement, no twist, no surprise, no thrill. Nothing much to this film. Total waste of time. The slowness and speed, the conversations between the actors are boring. The little bit of singing and music is alright. As the movie progresses I have only one desire that is to turn it off and look for something good. Clearly this is a bad one. It is suppose to be a romantic movie but there is little about that part too. This is probably one of the worst movie I have allowed myself to watch this long. Nothing about that movie or in that movie makes the viewer wish to keep watching. I was checking the reviews online and saw that it was rated a 3 star. I thought it was out of 5 stars. This is why I decided to watch it. Out of 5 it is a 1.

This movie follows two people who live opposite lives, but their love of music brings them together. In the end, you don't know how he ends up. Does he get his record deal? Does she get custody? What happens? I don't like movies that leave things opened ended for you to guess. I like answers. Also, there's not very much acting. There is a lot of music playing, a lot of staring, a lot of long pauses where you are starting at the characters doing nothing for a period of time. With Katherine being a main character, I expected more. This is certainly not one of her top films at all. A lot of "folk" music. All in all, I wouldn't watch it twice.

This film tells the story of a struggling homeless musician, and a single mother who used to be a musician. After a chance encounter on the street, they become friends and more, supporting each other through their respective tough times.I find "Jackie & Ryan" very boring. As a drama, it doesn't work because almost nothing happens in the film. We are shown scenes of beautiful mountain scenery, scenes of moving trains, people playing music or people walking around. Much thought has been put into making scenes nice, such as Ben Barnes writing a letter against the sun then walk away. These scenes may be aesthetically nice, but it's just plain boring. The film drags on too long but there's little plot to fill up the screen time. The romance is unconvincing, and the story is not romantic either so it doesn't work as a romantic comedy. "Jackie & Ryan" is a beautiful bore, I would still rather not have watched it.
