Details

In Scotland 1874, Jack is born on the coldest day ever. Because of the extreme cold, his heart stops beating. The responsible midwife in Edinburgh finds a way to save him by replacing his heart with a clock. So he lives and remains under the midwife's protective care. But he must not get angry or excited because that endangers his life by causing his clock to stop working. Worse than that, when he grows up, he has to face the fact he cannot fall in love because that too could stop his delicate heart.

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Awesome epic //SPOILERS//Starting off I thought maybe I'd enjoy it. Seeing the prego lady I was instantly concerned. Her baby came out as a fully grown toddler, someone send her prayers???? THEN she goes "YEET" and leaves her baby with some old lady who needs a hairstylist, and collects tears on the DL. She also takes out his heart and replaces it with a clock but idk if that is important. Then this kid goes out and falls in love with this Spanish chick cause they sang together for .000005 seconds (send her prayers too cause like random thorns kinda pop up all over her ????). THEN Edward Cullen shows up and he spittin fire like DRAKE. AND THEN Jack the FREAKING RIPPER shows up on a train. I was like HOLD UP, can we just PAUSE for a second. THIS KID j CHILLING on that train, and JACK the RIPPER starts singin him a song. I think this kiddo was a little suicidal cause he killed himself???? idk. He climbed snowflakes.////SPOILER OVER////If you wanna see a movie that gives you whiplash worse than a whip givin you a lash, then be my guest.
Irishchatter OK so I decided to pick this movie for the night since I didn't know what to watch in putlocker. Anyways I started playing it and at the beginning, I thought the mother was going to die as it was a pretty cold spot where the midwife lived but it seems she left Jack with her. What a way to start a film eh? So we move on and on, Jack has escaped from the police and is on a train. Then all of a sudden, Jack the ripper comes out of nowhere with a knife and try to kill Jack. Seriously, why the hell did they decide to add him onto this? He pretty much is a pointless character since you really don't see him throughout the movie! For the love of god like! I have to say the music really didn't give me a good vibe or feeling, it sounded like the music was from a pub or from out on the street. I felt it the whole soundtrack should've been done more better. It really sounded rubbish like!I wouldn't call this the best dark movie ever and definitely kids would be bored or even scared of this!
Dantae Hiruma The idea overall is very promising: a boy with a clock as the heart must find a way to control his feelings for a girl or his heart might stop. However, the execution is embarrassingly bad.After the first 10 minutes, which were decent, the movie starts rushing and skipping over details for no reason. First, the boy meets the girl of his dream, with whom he falls in love within seconds. Then the girl disappears, so he decides to attend her school, in which he meets a bunch of bullies, and BAM, years are skipped and he turns into a teenager. By this point, the girl and the boy still haven't had any significant on screen interactions except that one initial meeting, yet she still gives him a gift box for some reason, and somehow that gift turns up in the hands of his bully, and fighting ensues. Just like that, the movie keeps going in a very confusing and messy fashion. Many characters appear without warning only to disappear within minutes, and their emotions and motivations are rarely explored. Moreover, the relationship between the two main characters is so unconvincing that even Disney's films from 1960s can do better.Nevertheless, the animation is pretty good. Some parts actually look great, both in technology and style, especially the musical sequences. Still, I really don't like the character style used here as it makes the characters quite creepy and emotionless.I also find the music pretty boring, but that might be a consequence of the English dubbing, which is terrible by the way.In conclusion, if you're a die-hard animation fan, you might want to check 'Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart' for the visuals. Other than that, I'm afraid this movie has nothing else to offer.
Cody Konior It takes a lot for me to sign up to IMDb and review a movie, but I had bad feelings about this movie from the opening, then stopped watching at 30 minutes in and jumped to the end to see what happens.In summary the movie is about a boy who's mother leaves him, has his heart taken out, told never to fall in love, gets bullied terribly, when he stands up for himself his foster mother gets thrown into prison and dies while he is on the run, and his girlfriend neither loves him or trusts him also leaving him to die. All wrapped in musical numbers where at age 11 he sees a girl for the first time and sings about tearing off her clothes with his teeth. The movie looks pretty. It sounds interesting. But I have fairly low standards and couldn't watch through this tripe. Neither for kids or adults I don't know who the audience is but they are not of this Earth.
