Desc: Lighten Up, Jack Kopecky: Directed by Edward Reid, Rebecca Whitmire. With Edward Reid, Madeleine Goforth, Carl A. Pitts, Debi Kimsey. You think your life sucks? For Jack Kopecky, life is a series of disappointments at best. With his reputation torn to shreds thanks to a fraudulent rape charge, a narcissistic ex-wife, and a back-stabbing psychiatrist, downing a cocktail of Percocet and vodka never felt so tempting.
