"Jack Goes Boating" isn't exactly a memorable classic, still it's a film that teaches a lesson and it proves that you don't never get to old to learn and that love is possible, and for some it comes and for some it goes. After watching this film you will see it has plenty of funny moments, yet it entertains by showing the drama of life it proves relationships and love are complex and tough.
It's star(Oscar winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman) who also directed stars as Jack a middle aged guy in New York and he's humble but lonely. As Jack's only thing in life is driving a limo and he spends time with his friends a conflicted couple Clyde(John Ortiz)and Lucy(Daphne Rubin-Vega). And just as life and love is so unproven as Clyde and Lucy think their relationship is unbreakable they set Jack up with one of Lucy's friends Connie(Amy Ryan)a shy sensitive attractive middle aged gal.
Along the way Jack will have to be groomed to do a lot like learning how to cook and he takes up an interest in the water like boating yet he must first learn how to swim! Along the way it's interesting and very surprising to see how the courage and desire of friendship can lead to a commitment. And love as life takes unexpected twist as a gain for one couple is a loss for the other.
Really pretty good picture that teaches always strive for love, and hope as with determination it's possible. You can always make new discoveries and learn anything you want and in the process grow as a person and become more happier.
