Saw a screening of Jersey Girl over the weekend... trust me, you do NOT want to see this movie. But if you feel the need to, here are some pointers...
1) When the movie starts, you may think that you've stumbled into the middle of the 300,000th TNT showing of Kindergarten Cop. The similarity is so great, you may be certain. But trust me, it is not Kindergarten Cop... although in a few minutes, you may wish it was.
2) Ben Affleck is a terrible, TERRIBLE actor... note the scene when he arrives at the hospital.
3) For some reason, the video store Ben and his daughter frequent is the only video store in the world that stocks multiple copies of Children of the Corn 666. In fact, approximately 44% of all the movies there are 666, Scream, or Copland. Bizarre.
4) Ben and his daughter must be immune to a disease that has wiped out the entire population of Manhattan, because they are the only 2 people walking through Central Park on a gorgeous afternoon and the only 2 people (except for the driver) when they take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city on a beautiful night.
There's more, but I'd rather not waste space here. How Kevin Smith could possibly think this is his best movie boggles the mind...
