    The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

    Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

    It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    Have loved the series ever since I first watched it. And all I have to do is think of Bruce and I bring out the series to watch it again. I some how must have gotten the theme to the episodes on my computer,which ,in turn,somehow ended up on my iPad when I transfer the songs from my computer to the iPad. I looked for the info as to exactly WHO did the theme song for the series but could find nothing. Nothing that I could see either in the credits for each episode OR on the jacket for the three disk set even mentioned the theme for Jack of All Trades. So I guess that info as to the Artists that performed the theme will forever remain a mystery,much to my regret.

    I didn't really hear about this show but I did find the opening and it kind of sucked me in but above all else the premise did as well (namely, it's an excuse for Bruce Campbell to give one-liners as a Zorro-type figure) and... I seriously recommend the show if that sounds like your thing. The plot is that Jack Styles is an American spy who must go undercover during the Napoleonic wars to an island where Napoleon's brother is the Governor there and he must work with British Agent Emilia, whom he frequently butts heads with. He takes on the disguise of The Daring Dragoon so he can walk around as normal and it was basically improvised at the time. For me personally the best Episode is X Marquis The Spot, the premise alone is hilarious and it delivers. Bruce Campbell and Angela Dotchin are great together, the entire cast are pretty much spot on. I would really love a continuation of the show, I personally think it's a huge tragedy that the show got cancelled after 2 seasons. I'm not kidding when I say when it comes to American comedic shows, this is probably one of the, if not the best I've seen.

    After Fox canceled THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY JR., I looked forward to the day Bruce Campbell returned to television. But JACK OF ALL TRADES isn't exactly the show I had hoped for. When I heard the concept I was instantly excited, but the show itself just wasn't that good. Campbell and the beautiful Angela Dotchin obviously had chemistry, but it was basically just another corny contemporary-styled show like HERCULES and XENIA. It was fun occasionally, with some witty dialogue and a few genuinely funny jokes, but for the most part, it was kind of lame. I have to admit, though, that casting Verne Troyer as Napoleon was rather clever, and made for some good laughs. JACK OF ALL TRADES was nowhere near as good or clever as BRISCO COUNTY, and while it could occasionally be somewhat funny, it was certainly not Campbell's best.

    Bruce Cambell is an excellent and talented actor. He is good in these light-hearted goofball roles but he deserves better. The fans are watching this stuff because they know what he's capable of. The fans watch Xena cause it has humor and great T and A. I would have much rather seen good stories. Silly, impossible high jumps and improbable story lines just prompt me to change channels. What a waste of talent. Makes people take the fantasy genre even less seriously than they already did. You cut your own throat in the long run with an overdose of schlock and camp.
