The Jakes Are Missing

Janice and Donald Jakes are a couple who are no longer in love, but haven’t admitted it to themselves yet. Their teenage son, Simon, is acting out, rebelling and ends up witnessing a crime. He drops his wallet, the bad guys think that he has something that belongs to them and “Hey, Presto!” now they know where he lives…

The Jakes are sent into Protective Custody in a little town, where the couple supposedly falls in love again, and they learn to be a family once more.

The film is not funny, and the over-acting is embarrassing.

Written by Bianca Isaac, with names like “Mr Tumbleweed” and “Pumpkin Valley,” this terribly lame script, littered with clichés, should have been developed for the stage, not the screen.

A very disappointing 3/10.
