"Completely enjoyable film and beautifully shot! My whole family just loved it. While this film is not for a very young audience, my 7 year old has watched it three times this week alone. I highly recommend this film.

"Do they still make movies without that "once scene" you have to fast forward through? Do they make movies where you see both the good and bad side in everyone, not just one dimensional? Yes, they do. My wife and I rented "John John" knowing nothing about it and were very pleasantly surprised. The little boy acts and talks like a little boy would under the situation. The black/white relationships are well done, being set in the South in 1968. The retarded woman's party was very touching. It left my wife and I talking for quite awhile about the characters, why they behaved the way they did. If you are looking for an action film, keep looking. But if you want to see a movie that looks at issues in human relationship, gives this one a look."
