Our ratings in Canada are different from those in the US and I understood that the US was stricter but after seeing the movie I am surprised it was only PG-13 in US. The story line was cute but the sexual content was far too extreme and much too explicit. I am always disappointed when I see children acting in a movie that has such sexual content. I wish I had walked out but I kept hoping it would get better. I wouldn't recommend this movie to any of my friends simply because of the standards.

Amazing. I'm wondering if Jeff Vice and I saw the same movie! It started out poor and only got worse. So bad in fact, that in St. George, half of the theater (a conservative estimate) got up and left 30 minutes into the movie. In another theater in Salt Lake City, according to a co-worker, all but 4 people left, again in the first 30 min. of the movie. Ben Affleck was cheesy and completely unbelievable. In fact the only person that deserved any sort of compliment was the little girl that played Gertie. Jeff, you continue to amaze me...

Has to be the worst film I've ever seen. The ads make it look cute, but it's profane and disjointed. A huge dissapointment. I got ripped off on this one. Don't say I didn't warn you.

It is astonishing to me that Jeff Vice gave a 3 and a half star rating to this movie. I went to see it partly on the strength of his rating. I was sadly disappointed. Jersey Girl is the worst picture I have seen in years. People were leaving right and left and I almost joined them. I held out thinking that it had to get better. And it did, although that isn't saying much. The scene with Will Smith near the end was one of the best parts of the film, but it wasn't worth enduring the rest of it. I found this movie trite and highly predictable in terms of the final outcome. I was distressed by the language put in the mouth of Raquel Castro and by the sexually frank dialogue given to Liv Tyler. Anyone interested in sexual propriety ought to take a pass on this picture. I thought many of the transitions were ragged and several of the situations torturously contrived, expecially the scene where Raquel "interviews" the guilty Ben and Liv. Any why didn't Jeff Vice speak of the "obligatory poop jokes" that he seems to take delight in mentioning for every other picture that includes them? He did say "audiences should be warned that it does contain some questionable and tasteless humor." I should have paid more attention to that single bit of lucidity in his review.
