"My Name is Jerry – It’s never too late to turn over a new leaf as Jerry (Doug Jones), a lonely middle-aged salesman finds out. After falling for a much younger woman, who introduces him to punk music and a new attitude towards embracing life, he tries to mend the fences with his estranged daughter. Charming and quietly effective, this dramedy, co-produced by IT contributor and Springfield resident Zach Baliva, hinges on Jones’ ability to engage us and the quirky charm of his co-star Katlyn Carlson as Jordan, the object of his affection. Sweet and unassuming, the film reels you in when you’re not looking and provides a moving message without the maudlin flourishes."
- Chuck Koplinski from Illinois Times Online
"The subtleties of Doug Jones's lead character and a wonderful
supporting cast makes MY NAME IS JERRY a well-crafted movie with a lot
of heart."
- Martha De Laurentiis from De Laurentiis Productions
"Doug hits just the right tone with his performance. He is melancholy, funny, likeable and most importantly - he creates a character that you want to root for. You want Jerry to get the girl. You pull for Jerry to get the new job. All of these things are integral to the movie succeeding, and Doug pulls it off well.
Especially good was Carlson as Jordan - her character reminds me of that really cute girl in high school that was always nice to me, but I was always too scared to ask her out. Her performance made me want to go back in time and try again"
