Ok, Jersey Girl, How was it?
 

Im interested in some impressions. I like(but dont worship) the other Smith films. I have read some rather harsh reviews of this, though. And Im not the biggest Ben fan in the world. Is this anything more than a rental?

I'm curious as well, wife wants to see it and that may mean today.

This should give you some idea:

I find that RT rarely leads me astray when it comes to movies.

My girlfriend dragged me out to see it last night and it actually wasn't as bad as I expected, but it certainly wasn't great. Nothing like any of Smith's other films (which I never really liked minus Dogma) and it is just bascially your typical romantic comedy that we have seen a thousand times. I don't know if Mr. Affleck was the best choice for the part, but he did a better job in this movie than he has done in last few (Gigli, Paycheck etc. ) All in all it was decent, but I wouldn't go out of your way to see it. Not sure if I would take the kids to see it either, the plot is straight out of a disney film, but there are some scenes when he is describing his porno renting habits, and although funny, not sure if I would want my younger kids to hear that stuff.

Hope that helps.

This movie is clearly a vehicle to get Affleck back in the spotlight after the Gigli/Bennifer mess. They paired him with the love-interest from his biggest movie, Armaggedon, and made him about as sympathetic a character as one can get - a new father whose wife died in childbirth. And, they even went so far as to kill J-Lo off as the wife (hint, hint).

I'm sure the wife will want to see it when her dad buys/rents it and copies it, but I'm not paying money to watch it.

um, you know they made this movie before gigli even came out, right?

They wanted to get this movie as far away from Gilgi has possible, and I don't blame them. That's why they waited quite awhile to release it.

This is way too much Benny talk for me in one day. ;)

steve, did you really ask about Jersey Girl?

damn man. Who are you?

I could have sworn this was due out last august. Then Giglee kept getting bumped

I thought Jami Gertz was adorable.

my mom liked it.... I haven't seen it though

Ben Affleck is in it, how good can it possibly be?

well, there's Good Will Hunting, Dazed and Confused, Dogma, Mallrats, J&SB, and he was the bomb in Phantoms yo.

Your right! He was the leading man in ALL of them, and they were ALL instant classics, eveyone of them! How could I have forgotten? :confused:
