| Rating |  | | Date | August 08, 2005 | | Summary | ALL THE WAY WITH LIV | Content
 | This was one of the movies that originated from the first Bennifer relationship. Its not as terrible as Gigli because of the lovely Liv Tyler turns in a wonderful performance as Maya. Thank God Lopez's character Gertrude dies in the begining of the movie so we don't have to we bored with her for long. George Carlin is wonderful as Bart, and Raquel Castro is such a sweetheart as little Gertie. The chemistry between Affleck & Tyler is wonderful. The only reason I don't think this deserves 5 stars is because Lopez can't act and the director could've cast somebody better. Its only because she was engaged to Ben at the the time that she got the part. |

| Honestly, before watching this movie, I've never heard of the name Kevin Smith or his other movies like, Clerks, Chasing Amy, etc. but I must admit, he is one hell of a writer. The scripts were fantastic, and they made me laugh and shed my tears. This is one of those feel good movie, that you can watch over and over again without getting sick of it. |

| Second only to Chasing Amy in Kevin Smith films, this flick is great if you're looking for a cuddly romantic comedy. Liv Tyler is adorable and Ben Affleck is in one of his best roles.
What you need to know (besides the fact that it bares no resemblance to Clerks or Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) is the DVD has, as usual, tons of great special features. Kevin Smith is always great for including hours of additional goodies and he doesn't fail here. |

| Now, being 15 years old, I am only supposed to like whats cool. Very typically, I do. I am very much a conformist. It goes along with being in High School, unless you are one of those "I don't care what anyone thinks" kind of people, or, as people usually classify them, Losers. But I do have guilty pleasures. This is one of them. I was told not to see this movie, and that it was horrible. So I didn't even bother wasting my 8 dollars at the theater. One day, about 3 monthes ago, My best friend and I were completely and utterly bored. We were flipping through the free starz on-demand to see what movies were on. We came to Jersey Girl, and it caught my friends eye. I told her that I heard it sucked, so we went over it. After finding nothing else on, we decided just to watch it. It was a pretty bad movie. We fell in love with it right away. Every day we find some way to fit in "and now, Memory, from CATS! *Golf clap*" to our daily conversations. Its something Katie and I won't admit to liking. Sort of like how we still love Dora The Explorer and listen to Christina Aguilera even though she is "Like, SO 2 years ago". I would recommend seeing it. Its cute and endearing. Plus, I mean...Come on. Ben Affleck! Not the best movie in the world, but still. One of my favorites. |

| I thought this movie would be a fun, feel-good chick flick, but I was sorely disappointed. There's mild, but foul language, and numerous, offhand comments about pornography when Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck first meet. I turned the movie off not even an hour through becuase of the inappropriate content. I thought this would be much better and much more wholesome than it turned out to be. |
