Sometimes Jack Black just nails a role. This is a good example. The Polka King is a wacky comedy that is so bizarre, it's hard to believe it's true. The cast is definitely on par with a lower budget Netflix film (which it is) but that's okay for what it is. I wouldn't say go out of your way to see this movie, but if you're wanting an off the wall experience, this will provide a good one.

I watched this because of Jack Black. He puts such effort into all the roles he plays and this film is no exception. I didn't particularly love the movie, but Jack's performance was great and captivating as ever.

Some Jack Black movies can be a miss, but this isn't one of them. Great story and Black is at his best. Hard to believe its a true story - a Polish version of Bernie Maydoff!! Greed gets them every time.

Jacki Weaver is an undervalued powerhouse in everything she’s in.

Something's missing from this one, or maybe it's couple of things.

Jack Black plays goofy loveable Polka King of Pennsylvania Jan Lewan. He is completely certain of his own talent and has an immense drive to make it big. Sadly he isn't that smart, and not enough people love his music, only a gr More
