Jersey Girl (2004)
Catch Jennifer Lopez as Gertrude Steiney
Theatrical Release Date: March 26, 2004
Summary: An unexpected tragedy and a personal misfortune offsets a man's career. This single man must then take care of his daughter. Ben Affleck's character must then come to terms with the life he has instead of the life he thinks he wants.Review:
Well, we all love Kevin Smith, don't we? Kevin Smith wrote and directed a film, surprisingly touching for him. Jersey Girl makes one reexamine one's priorities. To be fair, this is not my favorite Kevin Smith movie, but then again, I am not much the sentimental type. J.Lo's role is a small one, as she dies having Affleck's baby toward the beginning of the moive. When parenting takes second prioity to your job, one should reexamine America values and work ethic and determine whether the sacrifice is really worth it. For the record, the pun on Gertrude Stein's name stands out and serves absolutely no purpose. J.Lo is no Gertrude Stein. See this movie, if only because it is Kevin Smith.
