Critic Reviews for Jackie & Ryan
All Critics (21) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (8)
The film feels like an uncomfortable hodgepodge of styles and tones - gritty and realistic when it's following Ryan, awkwardly staged when it's following Jackie.

If a film based on author Nicholas Sparks' work is like an over-produced power ballad with a 128-piece orchestra, writer/director Ami Canaan Mann's "Jackie & Ryan" is the non-ironic acoustic guitar cover of the same tune.

"Jackie & Ryan" may prove too low-key and deliberately paced for less patient viewers, but distinct pleasures are to be had from this compactly shot film's easy rhythms, affecting tone and nicely modulated performances.

You anticipate a cheap, sentimental ending. But it is not to be, and the movie is much the better for it.
The section of the movie that should offer a climactic rush, however fleeting, feels instead more like falling action, or even a postscript.

Jackie & Ryan is a sort of low-rent Nicholas Sparks romance that, for want of a better way to put it, never generates any sparks of its own.

Audience Reviews for Jackie & Ryan
That was a good movie. I liked it. I enjoyed it. It was a good relaxing movie, you know? Fun to watch... It has a good ending. Katherine Heigl was good in it. - She did a good job.
