Movie Reviews of Jersey Girl
Movie Review: Terrible movie - I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, being 15 years old, I am only supposed to like whats cool. Very typically, I do. I am very much a conformist. It goes along with being in High School, unless you are one of those "I don't care what anyone thinks" kind of people, or, as people usually classify them, Losers. But I do have guilty pleasures. This is one of them. I was told not to see this movie, and that it was horrible. So I didn't even bother wasting my 8 dollars at the theater. One day, about 3 monthes ago, My best friend and I were completely and utterly bored. We were flipping through the free starz on-demand to see what movies were on. We came to Jersey Girl, and it caught my friends eye. I told her that I heard it sucked, so we went over it. After finding nothing else on, we decided just to watch it. It was a pretty bad movie. We fell in love with it right away. Every day we find some way to fit in "and now, Memory, from CATS! *Golf clap*" to our daily conversations. Its something Katie and I won't admit to liking. Sort of like how we still love Dora The Explorer and listen to Christina Aguilera even though she is "Like, SO 2 years ago". I would recommend seeing it. Its cute and endearing. Plus, I mean...Come on. Ben Affleck! Not the best movie in the world, but still. One of my favorites.Movie Review: A Great Film From The Underrated Genius That Is Kevin Smith
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great film written and directed by Mr. Kevin Smith. Ben Affleck actually does a really good job in this movie about a man who has to raise his daughter alone since his wife dies giving birth. The only help he has raising his daughter is his dad, played by George Carlin. It's a touching movie that is funny at parts, and even sad at others. The film also features J-Lo for a few minutes at the beginning of the film; obviously this was during the time of the two dating. Most of the regular view askew actors are in this film; George Carlin, Ben Affleck and Jason Lee to name a few. There is an absence of Jay and Silent Bob, but I guess Kevin thought having the two on the film would have taken away the seriousness of the film. Ben's relationship with his daughter in the film is what caries the film all the way to the end. You can tell that he is a very caring and loving dad and you get the feeling that Kevin Smith wrote the movie after having experience being a dad to his own daughter. This isn't like the other View Askew films, pure drama done the Kevin Smith way and it really works. Just don't expect the usual comedy of Kevin Smith in this film like you would find in a Jay and Silent Bob movie, it's not here because it's not that kind of film.Movie Review: just a little laugh..a little tear...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ollie Trinke is a slick Manhattan rock promoter who falls in love, gets married, and has a baby. Things are cool so far. During labor, his beautiful wife delivers a lovely baby girl. But sadly, Mom doesn't make it. Ollie really loved his wife. And the problem is now: Who will take care of the child while Ollie presents Fresh Prince? A talented cast, a witty script, and the devilish Kevin Smith have given birth to the sleeper of the year. Aren't we all chasing that better job? Should I buy a new cell phone? Is my car out of date? Does it matter? "Jersey Girl" attacks the GEN-X madness of modern big-city rat-race. What is happiness all about? The big bucks or the little family? No new ground here, but very flawless execution. "Jersey Girl" stars Ben Affleck, cool and sober, and perfect as big-shot Ollie Trinke. The cast includes Liv Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Matt Damon, Will Smith, and a very remarkable George Carlin. The real ringer is little Raquel Castro,as 7-year-old Gertie. This tiny ball of dynamite from Long Island steals your heart and leaves you laughing out-loud. Doubt me? Don't just buy a ticket for "Jersey Girl", get down to the theater right now! My mother was from Teaneck. Trust me on this one. There's nothing like a "Jersey Girl".Movie Review: An emotional film from one of the king's of comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is awesome. You know why it didn't do so well in the theaters: Smith fans wanted the old humor of Clerks, Strike Back, etc., and Smith bashers were expecting another one of his vulgar comedies. In this movie you kind of get it all, although the comedy isn't quite as vulgar. Sure the scenarios are somewhat cliched, but hey isn't that the way life is, for every situation you go through there's many more people out there who have gone through the same thing. What makes it different is how the characters react to their situations. I'm sure many more people have given a plot analysis for this movie so I'm not going to bother boring you with that. Ben Affleck gives one of his best performances in this movie, I know people who can't stand him, but they like him in this movie. The little girl, Raquel Castro is amazing as a singer and actress in this movie. Don't worry about the whole Bennifer thing, there's very little of it in this movie, and when there is you can tell there is a certain chemistry. The whole cast is amazing, right down to a cameo by Will Smith as himself (in which he kind of bashes his movie I, Robot which is thought was hilarious). Definitely add this to your movie list. This is a good one for the whole family.Movie Review: un beau petit film attendrissant
Summary: 5 Stars
Ben Affleck ce fait beaucoup critiqué pour ses choix de films . Il est vrai qu'il a fait des erreurs. Mais lorsqu'il fait le bon choix , ca vaut la peine. Pensons a Chasing Amy, Shakespeare in Love ,Dogma, Good Will Hunting ,Jay and Silent Bob strike back ( la scène ou il rend hommage a Good Will Hunting est hilarante!) et Jersey Girl. C'est un film touchant et moin cucul qu'on ne l'aurait cru . La relation entre le père et sa fille ma fait verser quelques larmes. La pub autour du film semble surtout le montrer comme un film d'amour entre le personnage de Ben et de Liv Tyler alors que c'est surtout l'histoire d'un famille . Une chose est sure Liv Tyler et Ben Affleck font une belle équipe tout comme Ben et Kevin Smith . ( Ou même dan Dogma et Good Will Hunting entre Ben et Matt Damon) Maintenant on peu rajouter a cette liste de belle colaboration celle qu'il a avec Raquel Castro ( la demoiselle qui joue de facon si adorable sa fille).
Je vous conseille donc de ne pas juger ce film avant de l'avoir vu question de ne pas perdre la chance de voir un film attendrissant parce qu'il met en vedette un acteur critiqué comme Ben Affleck.
