Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart Trailers

In Scotland 1874, Jack is born on the coldest day ever. Because of the extreme cold, his heart stops beating. The responsible midwife in Edinburgh finds a way to save him by replacing his heart with a clock. So he lives and remains under the midwife's protective care. But he must not get angry or excited because that endangers his life by causing his clock to stop working. Worse than that, when he grows up, he has to face the fact he cannot fall in love because that too could stop his delicate heart.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

it is one of films who you expect. for long, long time. because, in a beautiful, touching, unique form , it is a film about yourself. and this is the most important thing. it is a trip in the heart of childhood, the old fashion childhood. and this transforms it in a gem. the source of its special spell/magic - the great work of Mathias Malzieu. . his novel. his adaptation. and, his Jack. it is difficult to define it. it is not perfect and this is one of basic good things. it is not Pixar or Disney and this is the second virtue. it is a meet with well known characters from old, oldies stories . and it is enough. because, in fact, it is a an admirable game of imagination.

I love this movie. The music. The way the story is told. The characters.A few nights ago my 5-year-old daughter and I sat down for movie night. We chose this. Of course she asked so many questions the whole way through, but she sat through the whole movie and talked about it for days. We sat down again and watched it the whole way through. She is a lover of music and of course wanted to hear the songs, sadly we could only find on YouTube in English. Anyway, the movie was simply beautiful. Tim Burton is one of my absolute favorite directors and this movie had a similar feel to it. I would definitely recommend this movie, and I have.

So.. this is an interesting movie. I absolutely get that people find it exciting and different, but for me it lacks heart. If the storyline was better I think it could be great... It has progressive music and animation but that's about it...And it's not, it's really NOT for kids. I just want to say that I'm a young person who doesn't think that kids are too fragile too watch anything but Winnie the pooh, (that's not it). But this movie... It's very dark, it's extremely sexist, there's bullying (extreme), ..SPOILERyeah, and Jack the ripper is in it, singing of how he enjoys slicing up women, both redheads, blondes and brunettes, (all of em should taste some).SPOILER endsI don't know. I think it's just too much. Without any morals or warmth what so ever. So. It's a movie for grown ups. Don't watch it with your kids cause they won't get it at all, and probably end up having some terrible nightmares...

I started to watch this movie with my children, fourteen and six years old. My daughter (the one on her fourteen) was also commenting that her young brother should not be watching the movie due to inappropriate scenes. The boy went playing with his games and stopped watching the movie. Therefore I will let adults judging how good the movie is for adults.I would like to suggest that this movie should not be watched by kids or young children, or at least watch it first by yourself and then make your own judgment. I would say kids under twelve years old should not watch it although it is rated 6 years old in some countries. The movie is quite dark, fed with cruel scenes and in my opinion is suggesting a fragmented self-image that is not rebuilt at the end. A child is not prepared and has not the capability of self-reconstruction when exposed to such movie.
