Review of Jersey Girl

Jersey Girl (2004)
Kevin Smith's masterpiece!
16 April 2004
I really LIKED this film. Kevin Smith's past efforts have all been favorites of mine, though they have been fairly crude in language, and of shallow content. This film is a total 180. It has depth, charm, and a touching story. Ben Affleck, who I have always considered a lightweight really steps up to the plate and delivers. Liv Tyler, and George Carlin (in his first, I think semi-dramatic role) shine as well. I have to make mention of unheralded Steve Root (a funny guy from his "NewsRadio" days) who contributes in a nice supporting role as well. The script is great and Kevin's directing (as usual) is top notch. The cameos by Wil Smith, and Matt Damon were fun as well. I don't wear hats, but if I did, my hat would be off to Kevin and co. Great job!!!
