I enjoyed the movie quite a bit... Unfortunately, Smith cannot resist his old stand-bys.
March 27, 2004
The grating sense of commercial calculation in Jersey Girl consistently undercuts Smith's fine writing.
March 26, 2004
The filmmaker drowns his trademark edgy stew of smutty humor, stiff acting and dime-store insight into human nature with a gravy of glutinous bathos, making for a singularly unpalatable dish.
June 23, 2008
The script stoops to cheap gags that undercut Affleck's efforts to sustain a believable character.
March 26, 2004
This kind of weepy material works in the hands of melodrama masters like Douglas Sirk or Pedro Almodovar. But here, it's over-the-top and it's just horrible.

Jersey Girl obeys the classic conventions of romantic comedy but there are ingredients in this mix that raise it a notch above average.
June 23, 2008
Jersey Girl marks a low point for the tubby New Jersey auteur.
April 29, 2009
A cloying attempt at mainstream fodder...
December 24, 2010
Formulaic script and uneven tone. Disappointing.
September 24, 2007
Mature and heartfelt, though not overly saccharine.
March 27, 2004
Inspired by Smith's own awe and amazement at being a father, the movie is modest and entertaining, with a minimum of sentimental goo, and it demands little of us except a good-natured willingness to go with it.
March 26, 2004
Smith is looking more and more like a developing major talent, so it could be years until we get a handle on this movie's legacy.
