Jersey Girl is coming out in March. I've been looking forward to this film for a while, even before I had a full understanding of the premise. Kevin Smith is doing his first movie that's outside of his "Jersey Saga", but only in the sense that you won't be seeing any of the characters from those movies popping up. His main characters still take up residence in NJ, and the story reflects upon Smith's own experience as a new father.
I don't know if it's gonna hurt it or not, but, as of right now, Jersey Girl has only been mentioned in the press because it has Ben Affleck as the lead and Jennifer Lopez is his wife, and they have a child together. While this is true, Jennifer Lopez dies shortly after the childbirth I believe. The story is mostly about this big corporate executive type of guy who gets fired and has to raise hisbaby girl up middle class in Jersey.
The trailer has some funny parts, like when he catches his daughter playing doctor with a local boy. George Carlin is Ben's father. Liv Tyler is his love interest.
It looks aight. I like Ben. He's a fun guy in Smith's movies. He's funny on the commentaries. I liked how in Chasing Amy, they were saving money on wardrobe, so he brought in and wore his "JV outfits" and slept on Kevin's couch while Kevin and Joey Lauren Adams had sex. I just don't like it when these Access Hollywood shows spend half of every episode talking about Ben and J LO.
