Kevin Smith scores again. I hadnt seen this one yet for some reason. It only took me 4 years but this is why Kevin Smith is amazing. And Ben Affleck just needs to do Kevin Smith films and he will be okay. Wonderful movie.
unfortunately this movie sucked. i like Liv Tyler but she couldn't save the movie.
Anyone who talks crap on Ben Affleck should 1.) Shut the hell up, and 2.) watch this movie. How you can watch his performance in this movie and still trash him is beyond me. He has the power to move people to tears.
Ok, that aside, this is a great movie from Kevin Smith, albei...( read more)
i absolutely loved this flick. i found the film to be a bit uncomfortble at times and affleck gave a typical boring performance of affleckian measure, but everything else about this film touched me quite a bit. i have been slowly growing to love liv tyler over the last year whe...( read more)
I kept hearing how this movie sucked but I wanted to see it anyway & I REALLY enjoyed it
Om man inte redan är förälskad i Ben Affleck så blir man det garanterat efter att ha sett denna film!
While it might have way too much gloss and tend toward the mawkish at times, JERSEY GIRL is nowhere near as bad as you've been led to believe. It's clearly a very personal film for Smith, and sometimes it really works, but it's fighting a constant war between Smith's unique voice...( read more)
It's saved by an unusually charming child actor: Castro, who has a voice like a pan flute and a sweetly low-key screen presence. full review
Smith is trying to say something heartfelt, even as he's using formulas that are unworthy of him. Thus, Jersey Girl is a step, not a misstep. full review
It's the kind of movie Hugh Grant might make, except for the way Smith has with his dialogue, which is truer and more direct than we expect. full review
Affleck is modest and engaging, which keeps the movie out of Gigli territory. But it's close. full review
Smith's story is like a nightmare amalgam of decades of single-dad sitcoms: mawkish, cloying, and essentially bogus. full review
Kevin Smith's neuters his sense of humor for Jersey Girl, an old-fashioned ode to paternal love that shamelessly goes for its audience's tear ducts. full review
Saw this movie and loved it. I know a lot of people hated it and I might few of the people who like it but the story was very nice. A father-daughter relationship with some comedy elements thrown in (What are you're intentions?) but with heart. I know it's nothing like his other movies which were outrageously hilarious but I watching a documentary about it and Ben Affleck even said that knowingly Kevin Smith personally that this was A Kevin Smith movie because he is now a father and I supposed it's whether or not you can connect to the movie. Now About that comment on the J LO scenes, they were actually cut a lot down. Apparently there was supposed to be a wedding scene but because of the speculation of people telling Affleck not to marry Jen that's why Kevin Smith decided to do what he did.
