Jack & Jill

About This Movie

So, 'Jack & Jill' from '98 is this quirky little Canadian rom-com that really captures the awkwardness of relationships in the '90s. Jack, played by John Kalangis, who's also the director, has this vibe of being kind of lost, while Jill, portrayed by Shauna MacDonald, tries to navigate the ups and downs of their engagement. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it gives it this sort of laid-back charm. The dialogue is filled with those moments that are both relatable and cringeworthy, reflecting the messy reality of love. Not a heavy film by any means, but there's something about its overall tone that sticks with you, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the nuances of romantic comedies from that era.
