A movie with a lots of heart

Jersey Girl was somewhat panned when it was released and I'm not exactly sure why. This was a time when it was cool to trash Ben Affleck, so maybe that had something to do with it; he had just made Gigli with Jennifer Lopez, so maybe that was part of it. But director / writer Kevin Smith is the voice of Gen Xers everywhere, and as one of those I can say that I loved Jersey Girl. Being a father of a girl myself now, the movie is even more enjoyable and relevant. Smith used his own experiences as a new father to inject real life situations into this movie, and it comes thru. None of the performances are particularly memorable, save George Carlin who answers the call as the grandfather in the movie. In all, it's an enjoyable movie that my wife also really liked.

This movie is totally underrated. If you're a View Askew hawk or plain ole hater, please see this again with new eyes. Kevin Smith said something sweet here without curse words and for an open heart, it rings true and packs a meaningful, selfless punch. This blu-ray is slightly better than most Echo Bridge releases, with pretty good but not great A/V quality. The extras from the DVD are ported over to the blu-ray and like most View Askew productions, comes chock to the brim full of goodies.

Not Mr. Smith's best (but even his best may be an aquired taste). Kevin's Smith's foray into extremelty mundane commercial film. Enough said. The blu-ray itself is a slight improvement over the DVD version; the colours are bright and stable; contrast is decent. I would not pay more than $5 for it

Jersey Girl is a double edged sword for Smith fans. It's nice to see him try something a little less ranchy but at the same time, it goes to show that he excels at harder material. Still, the core story here is a sweet one and for $5, the price is right for collector's of his work.

Solid, mature dramedy from Kevin Smith

Great film from Kevin Smith, and in my opinion, his best since 'Chasing Amy'. His writing style has matured since his 'Clerks' days and it shows here. Ben Affleck plays a selfish music exec who must now care for his daughter alone. Well, he has the aide of his father (George Carlin), and with the help of a video store clerk (Live Tyler) must learn to reconcile his past with his present.
Raquel Castro, who plays his daughter, delivers a fine performance for a child actor. The relationship between the two is heart-warming. There's also great chemistry between Tyler and Affleck, and they really hold the movie together.
Overall, a solid flick that was unfortunately looked over during its theatrical run.

Kevin Smith on Blu-ray

This is Kevin Smith's most derided movie, and breaks from his normally crass humor to a pg-13 romantic drama. Its still great and finally available on blu-ray so Smith fans can retire their old dvd. This was back during Ben Affleck's J-Lo period so she has some minor screen time before dying and setting up the premise of the story. I think the acting in the movie is very enjoyable. Carlin, Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck all do a fine job. Affleck, even at his worst, is still highly entertaining. Critcs were far too harsh on this movie. Not every Smith film is going to be Clerks, and thats a good thing.

This was a big departure for Kevin Smith--a film about a family and the loss of a parent. Great performance by George Carlin. Very nice Echo Bridge release with good picture quality and a few nice extras. Recommended.

I liked this movie and wasn't disappointed with Kevin Smith's first PG-13 movie. While there are no very dirty jokes or excessive profanity, it's still Kevin Smith. The DVD has some good special features. Highly recommended.

Bennifer made a good movie

This is a cute little movie about the love of family first. This emotionally charged movie is actually good even though Bennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez) are stars, but Raquel Castro is the real star. With costars George Carlin and Liv Tyler this movie will have you laughing and crying, but have a good time watching

An excellent movie. Affleck shines! Kevin Smith took a lot of bad press for making this movie, but I actually liked it.
