Director Kevin Smith is not known for making family films. What he is known for are tough, R-rated films about people who refuse to grow up, one of which almost received an NC-17 rating for its coarse language. He doesn’t like Christianity, either. "Dogma" features an abortion clinic worker who is an actual descendant of Christ, a wisecracking 13th apostle and a stripper who dispenses sage advice as the "prophet" of the film.
"Jersey Girl" seems to be an effort at attracting a new audience, perhaps because of Smith’s young daughter. But if this is the best that this Jersey boy can do, he can fuhgeddaboutit.
Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) has it all – a powerful job as a music publicist, an expensive car, a great apartment overlooking Central Park and a beautiful, pregnant wife (Jennifer Lopez). But when she dies in childbirth, from a fluke aneurism, Ollie is left holding the baby. After weeks of ignoring her, he is forced to take her to an important press conference for an up-and-coming young star named Will Smith. Unfortunately, Smith is late, the baby poops and Ollie mouths off to the assembled journalists, insulting his client at the same time.
