The Rat Pack (1998 TV Movie)
7/10
Correction for Kennedy
18 June 2004
First of all, this is a great movie. HBO has done it again by producing another interesting and thought provoking original movie. But, I have one complaint about the film. I am a New Englander such as our former President Kennedy was. He was born in Brookline and grew up in south eastern Massachusetts and he summered often in and around Cape Cod. When it comes to ice cream toppings, we here in New England don't have chocolate sprinkles....we have what we call "Jimmy's." You see, rainbow colored sprinkles are just that...sprinkles but chocolate sprinkles are known as "Jimmys." When Jack and Bobby decide to have some late night ice cream, Jack asks Bobby to get the sprinkles. Bobby hands him a jar of chocolate "Jimmys," not sprinkles. A boy from New England should know better, but the Hollywood based production would have no clue about the difference between chocolate and rainbow colored sprinkles / "Jimmys". Otherwise, the movie was good.
