MarVista Digital Entertainment is releasing CRACKERJACK, a heartwarming Southern-style comedy of one man's journey down the "road less graveled," executive produced by Jeff Foxworthy (Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?).

 

CRACKERJACK releases on March 17 on Amazon, Google, iTunes, Vimeo and VUDU, as well as On Demand with AT&T, Charter, Comcast, DirecTV and Vubiquity.

An irreverent tale, narrated by Foxworthy, follows softball-obsessed loveable-loser Bill "Crackerjack" Bailey IV, who, upon learning his longtime live-in girlfriend is pregnant, inadvertently commits himself to a men's ministry and their softball team to avoid impending fatherhood and the "Bailey family curse." Will Crackerjack repeat the curse, break it or just go play ball?

Winner of the Knoxville Film Festival and the Charleston International Film Festival Audience Award,CRACKERJACK explores universal themes of parenthood, manhood and the struggle to combat generational curses. The film is a testament to the fact, as Foxworthy noted, "that curses can be broken, change can be found in places other than your pockets, and the water in your gene pool can be treated."

This film reflects everything I love about the South," said writer/director Bryan Coley. "From Waffle Houses to gas stations that sell fireworks to church league softball - and our narrator, Jeff Foxworthy - that's a decent recipe for a good evening ofentertainment."

This film stars Wes Murphy (as CJ, "Crackerjack"), the late Rick Dial (as Pastor Shelby), Bethany Lind (as Sherry), L. Warren Young (as Paul), Dowd Keith Simpson (as Glo), Aaron Beelner (as Bucky) and Phillip DeVona (as Boomer).

CRACKERJACK is distributed by MarVista Digital Entertainment, written and directed by Bryan Coley, and produced by Art Within Productions, Matthew Pope and Darren Moorman.

CRACKERJACK is rated PG-13 with a running time of 98 minutes. For more information, go to www.crackerjackthemovie.comand follow on Facebook at www.facebook.com/crackerjackmovie.
