Save your money for something good and enjoyable
... View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
... View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreAs a ferret owner since 1994, I was looking forward to seeing a film showing ferrets in a positive light. I wasn't disappointed! It was a lovely, gentle film about Jake, the boy, and Jasper, his ferret. Like some of the other reviewers, I cried both sad and happy tears and am looking forward to showing the DVD to my grandkids.The only thing I wish had been included was a summary showing both the pros AND cons about ferrets. Not all ferrets are as clever as Falcor and it worries me that non-ferret people might think they are all like that. They'll get one, thinking they can train it like a dog, and then when they find their ferret won't fetch stuff or roll over or do other tricks, they'll get fed up and hand the poor animal in to a shelter.That's the only criticism I have. Other than that I give a big High Five to Alison and everyone else involved - thank you for making such a super movie showing what absolutely wonderful and loving pets ferrets make :D
... View MoreI LOVE this ! What a tale, what a story, what Drama !! What acting!! What a Great Director ! The Producers !! The ferret community really came together to get behind Alison Parker's vision of this "Ferret Tale". Nina Haggerty is a shining star and Connor Stanhope is amazing in the role of Jake. Falcor & Frisco the ferrets that played Jasper are so sweet and lovable you just want to reach into the screen and give them a hug <3 The video is also filled with extras such as a section where the funders of the film could feature their pets :-) What a great idea ! Also there are features that let the viewer watch the making of the film .. I hope a film company is smart enough to pick this up for a feature family film. Alison Parker did a great job from start to finish and I say " BRAVO" ..." ENCORE " ! :-)
... View MoreI absolutely loved Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale!!! I thought Connor Stanhope and Falcor (the ferret) were totally believable as bonded pals, and Falcor/Jasper was amazingly CUTE and smart. I was left wanting MORE though. This movie had a great storyline which I am sure was a difficult one to condense into such a short film. However, I think Alison Parker and her editors and assistants took a difficult task of getting so much into such a short space and came up with a very entertaining result. Bravo to all of you involved in the making of this film. Being in the family category I think it will be very well received. I know my family thoroughly enjoyed it, young and old.Thank you SOOOO much for bringing a well done short story about a ferret and "his boy" to the movie world. They are amazing and wonderful little pets, and do not get enough recognition.
... View MoreExcellent story about the love and friendship that exists between a young boy & his ferret. A must see for all ferret folk! If you're an animal lover, watch this movie! Those who say animals can't love are so wrong. Jake & Jasper shows the loving bond between animal & human. It also shows that when you really need them, friends are all around you, in many shapes & sizes. It's wonderful to see ferrets portrayed in film. We need more great movies like this one. For fuzzy lovers everywhere, it shows how a ferret can steal your heart even when its breaking and help it mend. Family doesn't just mean human relatives. For true animal lovers, pets are family too!
