Review of Jersey Girl

Jersey Girl (2004)
3/10
this puts the cheese in cheesecake

This movie never deviates from its cliché filled path. Once you know the wife dies, you know exactly what the rest of the film will be about. And don't be fooled, this isn't a comedy but a serious drama: not really a romance movie but it's more about the relationship between a dad and his daughter. The kid was cute, but Ben Affleck is too much of a joke to pull off a serious acting role. Watching him try to cry on screen nearly made me laugh. The only way he will ever be taken seriously as an actor is to pull a John Travolta and go away for many years and then make a come back.

FINAL VERDICT: Nothing new and nothing that would make me recommend it.
