Jersey Girl stars Ben Affleck as a workaholic music executive who loses his wife (Jennifer Lopez) in childbirth and has to raise his newborn daughter with the help of his crotchety New Jersey dad (George Carlin). The movie unspools as if writer-director Kevin Smith, normally a highly self-aware filmmaker (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma), set out to put a fresh spin on every cliché he could imagine (parent forced to choose between child and career; parent rushing to attend school performance; etc.)--then forgot to put in the spin. The scenes that aren't lifeless are implausible (Liv Tyler plays the fantasy girl of every awkward boy's dreams). The only real feeling comes from the strong soundtrack. However, Raquel Castro, as the daughter, is an uncanny double for Lopez; when the light plays across Castro's cheekbones just so, you'd swear the casting director simply shrunk Lopez for convenience. --Bret Fetzer

 Jersey Girl January 1, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In New York, the young executive Oliver "Ollie" Trinke is a successful PR of the music industry. He meets and falls in love for Gertrude Steiney, who soon gets pregnant. However, she dies in the childbirth and Ollie decides to return to his father's home in New Jersey. Pressed by the situation of lonely father, the workaholic Ollie blows-up in an important press conference and makes a fatal statement, losing his job and becoming blacklisted in his publicist career. He promises to be the "best father in the world" to the young Gertie, and stays single, grieving his beloved wife, without dating any woman for seven years and trying to retrieve a position of public relation. One day, he meets the rental clerk Maya, they become friends and she helps him to supersede his past life.
A light-hearted comedy. It's a feel good movie that never takes itself too seriously, but is very entertaining. A very good and touching movie. The all-star cast does a great job, and you can really feel the chemistry. If you aren't looking for a serious drama, then Jersey Girl is what you want.

Thought it was a good family movie. Would recommend
it to others. Really a warm friendly show.
 Not half bad tearjerker April 5, 2009
Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
True, this features Bennifer at the start, at what must have been the end of their relationship. It's also got one of the last appearances by the late George Carlin, and, of course, Liv Tyler is always smashing. She even lisps her way through some "Elv-ish" in one of the extras. The plot is man-rediscovers-what-is-really-important-in-life. Naturally, that means a cute kid, a grumpy dad and an understanding girlfriend. This could have been made in the 50s. But it's really ok. I'd watch it if I were you.

Actually I liked Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler together. And I thought the movie was nice actually - I just couldn't stand the little girl that played the daughter. Just too precocious and a bit over acting done here (the scene where her Dad shows up for the play - the camera shot on her face, please!). And speaking of plays - come one! Sweeney Todd (yeah, right) at a school play, complete with elaborate stage set??!! and costumes?
Sorry, just found the daughter too irritating (much like her mother:)
great comedy hybrid December 14, 2008

I felt like this movie captured a wide range of emotions very well and still maintained very smooth scene transitions. The story was unique, the directing was in-tuned, and the acting was some of the best we've seen from Affleck, Tyler, and Carlin, but the real talent in this movie is most clearly Raquel Castro as little Gertie Trinke. She gives a flawless performance and shows she is in the elite league of actresses at her young age. The entire cast really melded together beautifully with each still maintaining their individually complex roles this is undoubtly due to Kevin Smith who writes and directs Jersey Girl to its full emotional potential.
