Emmy winner Jake Hamilton sits down to talk with Chris Pine and director Alex Kurtzman about their new film, PEOPLE LIKE US — only on JAKE’S TAKES!
“People Like Us” is a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father’s last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about this family—and re-examine his own life choices in the process.
The film also stars Olivia Wilde, Michael Hall D’Addario, Philip Baker Hall, Mark Duplass and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Jake Hamilton is an American film critic and documentary producer. Formerly a teen film critic for the Houston Chronicle and the HoustonPBS talk show The After Party, he now hosts the Emmy-nominated film review segment Jake's Takes, produced by KRIV-TV (FOX Houston).
