Review of Jam

Jam (I) (2006)
9/10
I saw this movie at the Hollywood Film Festival last weekend
24 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Surprising interactions, frayed nerves, and raw emotions keep this movie fresh and easy to watch. I have to admit I showed up for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but left loving the entire cast, especially the playful sweetness of Tess Harper and hilarious bluntness of Amanda Foreman.

I felt the heat of the day, the desperation of isolation, the frustration of marital nitpicking, the raw burn of a skinned knee, the urge to chain-smoke, and the embarrassment of potential lust gone awry. I wanted to pat some characters on the back and slap others upside the head.

Craig Serling created a movie with an aftertaste of friendship: you want to know what happens to these characters after the movie ends. I'd like to view this movie several more times.

Thank you, Mr. Serling, for a sweet, easy to follow, emotional film.
