DVD Reviews of Jumpin' Jack Flash

DVD Review: One of the best comedies of the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars

A movie that has it all: great comedy, an interesting plot, endearing characters and action all in one place. Whoopi Goldberg delivers an incredible array of comedic acting joined with her ability to draw you into the fray.

The chance to see old cast members from SNL (Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman) plus early appearances of Jim Belushi and other actors deliver quite a magnificent combination for everyone to enjoy.

DVD Review: Whoopi having fun
Summary: 4 Stars

A decent movie to kill some time on a rainy day. My lovely wife could watch it over and over so it makes her happy.

And we all know...A happy wife = A happy life...

DVD Review: Who doesn't like Whoopi?
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is from the 80s and yet it still manages to be somehow timeless (if you discount the bright yellow shoes!) It is typical Whoopi fare and definately child friendly. The world is always happier if it's full of laughter and this movie is definaely on the all time list of funny! This is a must see if you love Whoopi, love laughter, and enjoy a good flick!

DVD Review: Jumping Jack Flash
Summary: 5 Stars

Always wanted to buy this movie and never found it. Still a great movie and Whoopi Goldberg is a really good solid actress. The movie is well cast and well acted and we enjoy it very much, and will for a long time to come.

DVD Review: WHOOPIE DOES IT AGAIN
Summary: 4 Stars

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES. wHOOPIE AT HER BEST - BOTH SERIOUS AND FUNNY. WELL WORTH THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND WATCH IT.

Description of Jumpin' Jack Flash

A computer operator (Goldberg) at a bank is plunged into an exciting world of international intrigue, danger and romance when her terminal gets an S.O.S. from "Jumpin' Jack Flash," a British spy stranded in Eastern Europe. She is soon matching wits with the deadliest members of the CIA to the KGB. Jon Lovitz and Jim Belushi co-star in this suspenseful, fast-paced and murderously funny comedy.

Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple) gives one of her earliest and finest film performances as Terry Doolittle, a computer programmer who unwittingly becomes embroiled in an international espionage scheme, forced to outmaneuver the CIA and KGB in this riotous 1986 Cold War comedy. Doolittle, the outspoken and irreverent employee of an international bank, is working overtime one evening when her terminal receives an encrypted message pleading for help from Jumpin' Jack Flash, code name for a British spy (Jonathan Pryce) trapped in Eastern Europe. At first reluctantly and then audaciously, Doolittle becomes privy to his predicament and essential to his escape while delivering a steady stream of ribald one-liners and witty slapstick-whether it's her Mick Jagger impersonation, police station meltdown, or infamous dress-caught-in-the-paper-shredder escapade at the British Consulate ball. A host of supporting talent includes Annie Potts, Jon Lovitz, Jim Belushi, the late Phil Hartman, and Stephen Collins (who shines as Marty, the mole), yet the film belongs to Whoopi. Though the plot is far-fetched and often flimsy, Penny Marshall (in her directorial debut) gives Goldberg enough latitude to showcase her immense talent in a role she obviously relishes-and audiences will too. Rated R for extreme profanity and mature themes. --Lynn Gibson
