Jack Goes Boating
Sails of Hoffman
Plot
Chauffeur to Manhattan's well-heeled by day, Jack's (Seymour Hoffman) shyness means he's left sharing his spare time with neighbours Clyde (John Ortiz) and Lucy (Daphne Rubin-Vega), and his beloved reggae records. But when Lucy introduces him to her equally introverted colleague Connie (Amy Ryan), his luck in love starts to change.
Verdict
Philip Seymour Hoffman puts his oar in with a tender, thoughtful adaption of Robert Glaudini's stage play. A little too measured to deliver an emotional punch, it's nevertheless beautifully acted and at times rather lovely.
