Entertainment Reviews:
Can't shake off its stagey roots and lacks any emotional punch.

The Spectator
[Hoffman] fuels the film with subtleties, from the slow burn of a love story to a lazy, piano-infused score....It lulls you with its slow-warming heart.
USA Today
Ms. Rubin-Vega, with anger and defeat lurking behind her mask of competence and resilience, is stealthily heartbreaking, as is Mr. Ortiz...
New York Times
Rating: 9/10 --
Refreshingly optimistic without idealization, Jack Goes Boating gives us a fantastic cast and manages to be charming and witty without sacrificing integrity.

We Got This Covered
Rating: 2/5 --
There's an improvisatory air, overlaid with quirky charm but never any bite. Hoffman's performance needs tougher, more focused direction.
London Evening Standard
It's tonally uncomfortable, which was probably Hoffman's intent, and though it's not a home run, there's great acting on display-another common theme in films adapted from plays.

The magnitude of the acting overshadows the modest reach of the material.

Product Description:
Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman makes his directorial debut with this play adaptation. Co-starring Amy Ryan (GONE BABY GONE), JACK GOES BOATING is an off-kilter romantic comedy that follows a pothead in his search for love in New York City. John Ortiz and Daphne Rubin-Vega return to the roles they played on stage.
