Jersey Girl

Pros: Rachel Castro is adorable. JLo is quite good.
Cons: The chemistry between father and daughter was lacking. Liv and Ben? Eh.

Saw Jersey Girl yesterday. Left the theater thinking, It's really sad...just plain sad. And I'm not talking about JLO dying after twelve minutes either. For those of you who aren't familiar with the story, it goes like this. It's ...

Pros: The cameo. Sweeney Todd. And dangit, it was sweet okay?
Cons: Affleck & Tyler's relationship couldn't be stranger.

Seeing someone from the comedic side of cinema turn serious is not exactly a new thing -- Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, and more recently, even Ashton Kutcher. (Gag on) So what's so different about a director doing the same thing? Not a whole ...

Pros: ---------
Cons: ---------

So here it is then, the third review for my own "Dru nken Review” write-off. Same old, same old I suppose. More inebriated mutterings, typo’s by the dozen and some extremely dubious critique. Yup, you get all ...

Pros: Funny, heartwarming, charming, Affleck, Carlin, Castro perform well
Cons: Not very original, predictable at times

I went to see an advanced screening of Jersey Girl even though I knew it had Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. I expected the worst, a Gigli 2 type movie with cheesy dialogue and a boring storyline, not to mention I have yet to ...

Pros: Some clever dialogue. Rather a sweet soul. A first grade 'Sweeney Todd'.
Cons: Uninspired performances.

Hello all my fans out there in the dark. I'm sure you've been anxiously awaiting my comeback from several months of silence. It's not that I don't love you all, it's just been a busy time with me and some of it spent without internet access. I'm just ...

Pros: Raquel Castro, George Carlin, Stephen Root & Mike Starr
Cons: A trifle cliche, Liv Tyler not developed enough

I've been a Kevin Smith fan for a while, and I saw all five of his other movies while in college. I liked Clerks and could get past the acting. I loved Mallrats, mostly because of Jason Lee. Chasing Amy was a bit more ...

Pros: excellent performances from the entire cast, funny, warm, endearing
Cons: yes, it's a bit cheesy

Before I begin my review of Jersey Girl, the new movie written and directed by cult director God Kevin Smith, I should start by saying that I am exactly the type of person Kevin Smith feared when he began making this movie. In 1995, I first ...

Pros: Acting, writing, and stuff.
Cons: I don't know.

My name is Tom Speaker, and I'm here to write another quality jokingly-drunken review for YOU, the reader. I had planned to write reviews on all of Kevin Smith's movies IN ORDER, just like I'm doing with Kubrick, but if I go long enough without ...

Pros: quick cameo (should have been longer) by funny personality
Cons: hackneyed story, stale acting, manipulative plot, completely opposite of Kevin Smith

Pour your sugar on me Oh, I can't get enough I'm hot, sticky sweet From my head to my feet yeah -- Def Leppard: Pour Some Sugar On Me. Diabetics be warned, "Jersey Girl" is out and Kevin Smith's got his buckets of thick gooey ...

Pros: great matt damon and jason lee cameos, liv tyler, always nice to see stephen root
Cons: inconsistent directing, weak plot, lack of chemistry between the major characters

BACKGROUND... So... I'm a Kevin Smith "fan" which means that I loved "Clerks" and "Mallrats" tolerated "Chasing Amy" and laughed weakly through "Jay and Silent Bob" and "Dogma" When I heard that Kevin Smith was coming out with another Ben Affleck ...

Pros: Ben Affleck; Raquel Castro; very cool cameos; funny and quite sweet
Cons: Cliched self absorbed father finds the meaning of selfless fatherhood through precocious daughter story

"The world can be divided into two categories," a character muses in the new Kevin Smith comedy, JERSEY GIRL, "New Jersey and New York." It should come as little stretch to assume that for the writer/director of "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy," the fabled, ...

Pros: Story, acting, camera work, script.
Cons: Jennifer Lopez

Starring- Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez- for only 15 minutes, thank you! Raquel Castro George Carlin Liv Tyler Jason Biggs Matt Damon Jason Lee Will Smith This movie was written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Chasing ...

Pros: Ben Affleck, Raquel Castro, dialogue, message
Cons: cinematography being off at times, predictability, musical score

Can the man who is responsible for the creation of some of the most crude, vulgar, and offensive films in recent memory prove he indeed has a heart and yet still retain that connection with his cult following his raunchy features have relied on? That is ...

Pros: True to life story for all parents, more mature storytelling and dialogue from Mr. Smith
Cons: Predictable, and a little hokey

Kevin Smith, it seems, has matured. Granted, I have not seen Clerks II yet, so this is my most recent exposure to one of his movies. When I became a HUGE fan of his in high school and college, I loved the frank, raw dialogue of his movies, as well as ...

Pros: Great story
Cons: Lopez and Affleck could have done a little better acting

I did not realize until I watched this that it was written and directed by Kevin Smith and I was even more excited to watch the movie. My husband saw this movie on an airplane and insisted that I watch it. I love dramas and this had just the right ...
