Too many fans seem to be blown away

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

An entertaining, enjoyable movie throughout. There are some cheap humour moments, however the style and storyline make up for it.

Plot: Jack is currently working on a film on Robben Island about Nelson Mandela's life. During a reception Jack's drink is spiked. He begins to hallucinate and soon destroys his reputation with the ensuing chaos he causes.His director is not impressed at all and Jack needs to leave town asap. Jack's make-up artist and friend decides to disguise Jack as a domestic worker and voilà! we have Mama Jack. Soon fate steps in and Jack lands up as a domestic worker for his former director's wife who is not a happy chap.The film is very funny, South African style. Overseas folks might not appreciate it as much.Worth buying? No, but hire it to share the laughs with family and friends.Similar films: Mr Bones, Mrs Doubtfire.

As an old Leon Schuster fan I couldn't wait the other day to go and get the DVD to watch at home. My personal opinion is that I find the movie Mama Jack absolutely brilliant like all previous movies of Leon Schuster, Iv'e watched it twice in one day and will watch it again. I hope there is still many to come over the next few years because no one compete against Schuster. People that say this is only a good movie due to that nice actress must go back and watch the whole movie. She is very nice indeed and plays a good role, but without Schuster it just wouldn't be the same. I'm 25 years of age now and can still remember nagging my dad as a youngster to take me to the cinema as soon as there's a movie of Schuster. Special thanks to Leon for being a great comedian in South Africa.Regards

----------------- Schuster is back - as Mama Jack! This star-studded, hysterical film fueled by Schuster's comedic mayhem navigates the world of film.Jack Theron is a grip for the film industry. While working on a film about Madiba, John, the American director takes such a dislike to Jack that he spikes his drink at a high-profile function. As a result, Jack unwittingly offends all the dignitaries, ruins the function, and is now on the run from the police.In desperation, he turns to his make-up artist friend, Shorty, for help and emerges as the big, busty, and black, Mama Jack. Through a series of evasive tactics, Mama is soon employed by the producer's fiancée and falls in love with her.A series of deceptions and misunderstandings ensue with predictable hilarity.Courtesy of Videovision ---------------------------Mama Jack has got to be one of the funniest films I have seen, especially since it has personal appeal to me (seeing as I live in South Africa).It is an enjoyable family movie, yet it contains humor/references that will only be found funny by people who have been around a bit longer...Although English subtitles are provided for all of the snippets of Afrikaans & Xhosa that are spoken/heard during the movie, a lot of the humor will be lost on someone that has got no idea concerning the South African background against which this is set. However, there is enough movie to stir everyone up to enjoy a good laugh.Go see this movie, expect a comical, slightly predictable, very funny movie, and you won't be disappointed!
