Jersey Girl
Drama seems closer to reality we live through that exciting story, where everything seems dramatic. This story begins when Ollie was marginalized from his career without any known reason. Ollie began to live a real tragedy, where he must now look beyond his job and care for his daughter who has become mature.

Mature and heartfelt, though not overly saccharine.

This kind of weepy material works in the hands of melodrama masters like Douglas Sirk or Pedro Almodovar. But here, it's over-the-top and it's just horrible.

The script stoops to cheap gags that undercut Affleck's efforts to sustain a believable character.

Formulaic script and uneven tone. Disappointing.

The grating sense of commercial calculation in Jersey Girl consistently undercuts Smith's fine writing.

A cloying attempt at mainstream fodder...

Smith is looking more and more like a developing major talent, so it could be years until we get a handle on this movie's legacy.

Jersey Girl obeys the classic conventions of romantic comedy but there are ingredients in this mix that raise it a notch above average.
March 26, 2004
The filmmaker drowns his trademark edgy stew of smutty humor, stiff acting and dime-store insight into human nature with a gravy of glutinous bathos, making for a singularly unpalatable dish.

Jersey Girl marks a low point for the tubby New Jersey auteur.

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit... Unfortunately, Smith cannot resist his old stand-bys.
March 27, 2004
Inspired by Smith's own awe and amazement at being a father, the movie is modest and entertaining, with a minimum of sentimental goo, and it demands little of us except a good-natured willingness to go with it.
