“u0026quot;Jake Squaredu0026quot; wasnu0026#39;t really what I had expected it to be. And truth be told, for a comedy/drama, then the movie didnu0026#39;t really offer that much to laugh about.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is about aging movie-maker Jake, who is working on a new project, when unannounced his former selves start to appear in order to help him figure out what it is that he is searching for.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI will say that the story was somewhat wasted on me, and I didnu0026#39;t really find it all that appealing or interesting. And the movie tended to drag on for quite a long while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, what made the movie watchable was the solid acting performances by the cast. And especially Elias Koteas was really carrying the movie so nicely.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Jake Squaredu0026quot; is not really a movie for just everyone, and I find it to be something of an acquired taste. I wasnu0026#39;t really entertained by it, and as such I am rating the movie just below average; 4 out of 10 stars.”
