No one has heard about Jack Brooks .. yet, that is. Or until you watch this first installment of a new franchise. Well actually there is nothing officially announced yet, but Mr. Monster Slayer himself (couldn't be more Anti-Buffy I guess) said himself, that they will try to make another one! (Frightfest 2008 in London)
And judging by this first effort, I'm sure it will be great. Because with the second part you will know his character and he will be Jack Brooks ... which he only becomes during this one. So in other words this is the rise of Jack Brooks or his beginnings.
A pretty good cast (having Robert Englund in your movie never hurts) and some pretty hilarious scenes (especially those Jack Brooks has with his Anger Management psychologist or whatever the guy is called) make up for a pretty good start ... Some pacing problems and a few minor script flaws can be easily overlooked (imo) ... enjoy the show/movie! :o)
