The Jakes Are Missing

About This Movie

So, 'The Jakes Are Missing' is quite the quirky little gem from 2015. It dives into this odd blend of comedy and romance, centered around the Jakes family who find themselves in police protection after some mishaps. The humor's a bit offbeat, with that kind of pacing that keeps it light, but there’s an underlying theme of rediscovery—Janice and Donald have drifted apart, yet their journey with their son Simon leads them back to each other in unexpected ways. The performances feel genuine, adding a touch of authenticity to their family dynamic. It's an interesting watch, not the sort of film that you’d find in every collector's stack, but definitely has its own unique charm. Plus, the practical effects during the more comedic moments are pretty fun, adding to the overall atmosphere.
