What to Know

Critics Consensus

A surprisingly conventional romantic comedy from Kevin Smith, Jersey Girl is warm but often overly sentimental.

Formulaic script and uneven tone. Disappointing. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 06/23/2008
The script stoops to cheap gags that undercut Affleck's efforts to sustain a believable character. Go to Full Review

The 'grown-up' Kevin Smith exhibits greater ambition, but he's not quite so much fun. Go to Full Review

I don’t know *what* was going on in the world in 2004, but Jersey Girl is just delightful. The big school review and George Carlin’s last scene with Affleck…*sniffles* I’m not crying, you’re crying. Go to Full Review

Andy C Oct 26 This movie was made for pdf's. See more Rami A Sep 4 This is a movie with a lot of heart, morals, great casting, and a beautiful story about a father learning to become a dad. Outside View Askewniverse, this is Kevin Smith's best work. The script and the chemistry between the cast are the richer aspects. If this movie were three hours, I wouldn't complain at all! See more Luis Otavio F Jun 23 Jersey Girl is comforting, it's warm, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler are wonderful together and that was already clear in Armageddon. See more Ricardo Gil P Jun 7 Beautiful movie. The script is very good, very strong. The characters are very well designed, and the movie catches your attention from the beginning to the end. I like it very much. See more Tonya K 11/02/2024 Just not Kevin Smith's best work. And even George Carlin being in the movie couldn't save it See more Enrique P @therealenriquep 10/10/2024 This movie is super cute and so sad. Honestly if a bunch of other directors had made it nobody would've judged it. But because Kevin Smith made it, it gets crap but I love it. The chemistry is beautiful. The difficulty and struggle but reward of being a father is done well. See more Read all reviews
