Jack Powell suffers from an affliction that makes him grow four times faster than normal, so the 10 year old boy looks like a 40 year old man. After years of being tutored at home, Jack convinces his overprotective parents to send him to public school. The children don't know what to make of Jack, but with the help of his fifth-grade teacher, he makes an effort to win them over.

I don’t understand why waste a short life at home or school if there is only ~20 years of life. There is a lot to see and experience in the world, so mom and dad should offer the child much more than just home and school. This is a poorly written film and not enough thought about children and their behavior when doing it. Mr. Williams played his role nicely.

As much as I'd like to enjoy a Robin Williams performance (where he's still charismatic as usual) but when having to take on the role of an actual child, it isn't very convincing. The writing in general is pretty terrible, particularly for the children.

It's some kind of accomplishment that Fran Drescher and Bill Cosby's characters were more compelling than Robin Williams' title role. Remember, he's supposed to be the [spoiler](shooting)[/spoiler] star. I wish Williams had been a believable 10-year-old, but neither his performance nor the way his character was written made it work. And truthfully, _nobody_ got good writing in this film. The comic bits weren't funny, and the dramatic moments (especially with Jack's parents) were absolutely cringe-worthy. Once again, here I am in the aftermath of choosing a movie based on knowing nothing about it other than who some of the lead actors are—and once again, I find myself disappointed.

_**Robin Williams as a 10 year-old; great cast, but needed a rewrite**_

The Powells in Oakland have a premature baby, whom they name Jack (Robin Williams). The problem is that Jack grows at four times the normal rate and so when he finally is allowed to enter 5th grade at the age of 10 he looks More
