Janie Jones follows the story of a 13-year-old girl whose mother abandons her after taking her to meet her father for the first time. Her father is a fading rock-and-roll star who has no idea he has a daughter, let alone any intention of being a father to one. He is told if he doesn't take her, she will be placed in foster care. So Janie Jones is a film about Janie and her dad figuring out their life together.
I had never heard of this film before, but I must say while it's not a perfect film I really enjoyed it. The acting is excellent, and the situations the characters find themselves in are believable. Abigail Breslin stole the as Janie Jones. Brittany Snow also has a small part in this film as Iris. I really wish that she had a bigger part as I feel like that character( And Brittany's acting) could have really added to the overall film. However, I understand the movie was about a father losing everything and, in the process, finding out that his daughter is what really matters. So it makes sense that she isn't in it that much. With that said, I would highly recommend this movie if you need an emotional pick me up.
