Take this movie for what it is, a light-hearted comedy. It's a feel good movie that never takes itself too seriously, but is very entertaining. The critics are panning it just because it has Ben Affleck in it; J-Lo is only... Full review

I find ironic that people who enjoyed Kevin Smith's other movies hated this one. That right there pretty much explains most of the haters (i.e. those recommending Mallrats and JSB over this). I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I was laughing... Full review

Jersey Girl" is so by-the-numbers, so depressingly average, that I'm tempted to believe Smith is PARODYING by-the-numbers, depressingly average films.
If anyone else had made it, I would dismiss it as a mildly diverting, occasionally humorous fluff film and forget I ever saw it.

Jersey Girl exemplifies Smiths dual talent of wit and clever storytelling.
With Jersey Girl, I can see the logical shift from a focus on frivolous and immature things to the areas that hit closer to home.

The jokes in this movie are so flat, so easy, so boring.
Affleck has some affecting moments and Tyler's offbeat warmth makes their scenes together work better than they have a right to.

She and Gert remind the clueless Ollie of WHAT'S IMPORTANT when he later considers ditching Jersey for the shallow pleasures of the Manhattan fast track.
In Jersey Girl, however, Smith's writing is pedestrian at best, except for a couple of scenes that have a loose, offhand charm.
