Jersey Girl Reviews

---

I already saw "Jersey Girl" in 1992 - try again!
It didn't used to be so bad with Kevin and Jay, back in the old days of Clerks. They'd get drunk and have some fun and that would be it.

But now they've clearly gone off the deep end, thanks to drugs. Kevin, who has turned his back on future money-guaranteed Jay & Bob contracts, does his pot and Jay does his heroin and neither has chosen making movies over dope.

It's sad to see, really. Now, after such a promising start, they just turn out garbage. And panic strategies like bashing J-Lo won't help them, either.

That's because it's BEN'S career that went down the tubes, not the career of Jennifer "the butt" Lopez. Let's see - her recent flashdance parody video - top of the charts. And her Selena, Anaconda, and Wedding Planner projects all made more than a few nickels, of course.

But look at Ben - not even close to a hit (after 6 films) since his ensemble participation in things like Armegedon and Pearl Harbor several years ago.

Naturally, Kevin and company are bashing J-Lo because Ben is THEIR friend, and J-Lo's just their friend's ex-girlfriend.

The movie will not be a hit, mainly because of mediocre actor Ben, but also because they flat out stole the title from the 1992 Jami Gertz movie Jersey Girl, which was far superior. Ironically, the original title for Kevin's flick was much better and they should have stuck with it - The Fatherhood Project.

All I can hope is that Kevin and Jay cut their loses, get back into the studio and lay off the substance abuse. We just lost Bobby Pastorelli this month, due to dope, and I do NOT want to see the bloated carcasses of other dope ODs like Jason "Jay" Mewes and Kevin "Silent Bob" Smith on my evening news NEXT month!

C'mon - get back in the game, Lunchbox.

Even Better than Gigli!
Despite some brief moments of brilliance (e.g., you show me yours I'll show you mine, and a brief encounter between Ben and another well-known star) this movie is mundane and tedious, and Ben's acting has never been worse. Very disappointing film from Kevin Smith. Should have been a made-for-TV movie.
