3/06: Jersey Girl is derivative and clichéd that aims for the fake ooh-ahh's.

Kevin Smith, who's a pathetic excuse for a director, resorts to pornography and profanity to get the comedy going. It's a well-known fact that Liv Tyler is typecast as slutty characters which undermines her credibility to be an all-around nice woman. George Carlin is awful and unfunny.

Ben Affleck, once again, doesn't have what it takes to be a leading actor. He's better in supporting roles. Because of the "Bennifer" fiasco, Jennifer Lopez cut the role short by having her character prematurely dead, so she can move forward without him.

Meanwhile, I don't agree with the choices Oliver Trinke was forced to make based on what the insignificant others say. It makes more sense to reside in the city, get a high-paying job, and live the good life. Because knowing the kind of character Oliver is, I don't see him being satisfied with a janitorial job after he had the taste of a six-figure salary.

All in all, Kevin Smith is garbage.
