Movie: Jersey Girl

[Pacion]

When my attempt to go to a tango venue went wrong ie. they were closed, inspite of my research on the internet to verify what days they were open :( we went to see Jersey Girl - Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez (for a brief moment), Liv Taylor as well as appearances by Matt Damon and Will Smith (as himself).

I think I read that the US critics gave it a 'dressing down'?

As a whole, I enjoyed it and there were some very comical moments. Except, the times when Ben Affleck was trying to cry (his wife, Jennifer Lopez had died at childbirth), I felt like laughing :roll: At other times, he came across more like Hugh Grant than Hugh Grant :roll: :roll: :lol:

Needless to say, the girl who played the role of their daughter was excellent! Very expressive eyes and she used them quite a lot too. :shock:

Apart from not being very impressed with Ben Affleck at times, it is a nice comedy.



Part of it was filmed in Manhattan and I recognised it :shock: :lol:

I saw it. I don't remember much, except that JLo was fairly unimpressive. I never go to that type of movie expecting anything more then entertainment. A great movie, it ain't. But it helped me wile away a useless Saturday afternoon. LOL.

No. It is not a great movie. Ben Affleck does not do it for me :? - when he was getting all lovey dovey with Liv Taylor, I didn't, not even for a micro second, wish it was me instead of her :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol:

But, it was a treat to see the girl who played the daughter and I shall be looking out for her in future films. She reminded me of the boy who was in Sixth Sense. I lurved him :shock: :D

Anyway, there was not much to choose from :(
