"Jake's Corner" Academy Screening

JAKE’S CORNER is the story of an ex-football star, Johnny Dunn, who walked away from the game early in his career to live a relatively secluded life far from the spotlight in a small, desert town he owns called Jake’s Corner. Johnny’s quiet life is altered dramatically when he is forced to care for his young nephew, Spence.

Jake's Corner is set in the real town of Jake’s Corner, Arizona. It is a rest stop for travelers making their way through the Arizona desert but for the people who live there, it’s a rest stop for life. Johnny and the eclectic ensemble that live and work in the town occupy trailers behind the Corner Store and Jake’s Corner Bar. Through the years, this cast of misfits have become closer than most families. The boy brings an innocence to this town of adults who, in turn, share their wisdom with him.

I saw this movie at the Music Box Theater in Chicago. I haven't seen an independent film with this much heart, emotion, and quality in a long time. It's great to see an independent film with a heartwarming story instead of the usual slasher, horror, drug abuse, and violence theme. A family drama that has a well deserved PG rating!!! On an added note the BJ Thomas soundtrack shows that he still has the voice that won him 5 Grammy's and sold multi platinum hits.
