Finally dragged Chantale out to see Jersey Girl this week. She said it was the lesser of 3 evils (I gave her 3 choices 🙂 ) but in the end, I saw tears in her eyes during the movie so I know she enjoyed it 🙂
As for myself, I absolutely loved the movie. As far as I’m concerned, Kevin Smith nailed it exactly like he expected to. It’s about deep love, relationships, committments, and sacrifice. Kevin commented in Newsweek about how: “Once I got married, I realized I never wanted to f— anyone else for the rest of my life. Even if my wife died. It’s not just physical, though that’s fantastic. Psychologically, I am tied to her. When you’re really committed to somebody, forget it, man. It’s impossible to think about f—ing somebody else.”
This man understands emotions. Silent Bob runs deep my friends. 🙂
Anyhow, I thought Ben was really good and I also felt that this was Liv Tyler’s best performance in anything (sure they were an item in Armaggedon, but these are different characters (and not really an item here 🙂 ) ). And George Carlin… really impressed me. Hit me right in the heart near the end in the bar after the big School play. I give it a 4 1/2 on 5! 🙂
