Appealing in spite of itself.
Whoopi Goldberg is the only original or interesting thing about Jumpin' Jack Flash. And she tries, but she's not enough.
It took four screen writers (let's leave them, with mercy, anonymous) to come up with a story that has no real character conflict, and director Penny Marshall, in her debut, doesn't help them any.
This misfiring 1980s comedy tries to conjure the same chaotic energy that was so successful with other fish-out-of-water classics during that decade.
...works as neither a comedy nor a spy caper.
Goldberg and director Penny Marshall... have managed to inject a female sensibility into the film, cramming it full of fun, insightful details.
Audience Reviews for Jumpin' Jack Flash
A Hitchcock plot, that is very good. But the screenplay don't help. Too silly to be good.
Super Reviewer
Whoopi!! Not really that funny. She needs eyebrows.
Super Reviewer
A fun spy comedy, with a typical 80?s feel to it. Whoopi Goldberg is her usual overtalking fun self and the film makes for easy watching.
