Reception[edit]
Jack Is Back Song
The film got a negative review in The New York Times, which read in part 'Jack's Back, which opens today at the Cine 1 and other theaters, is so dull it leaves you plenty of time to marvel at how a plot can be this rickety, how a production can look this shabby, and how the first-time writer and director Rowdy Herrington could borrow a story with so relentless a grip on our imaginations and in no time at all declaw it.'[2]
Conversely, both Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up with Siskel declaring that it was a most impressive debut for Rowdy Herrington, as it was for Spader and Gibb.[3]Jack's Back has a 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five critic reviews.[4]
