This is fantastic
movie and I like it because it gather drama , comedy, and romance in one plot …
Liv Tyler presented through this film a wonderful show and proved that she is a professional actress.
Now let me tell you
some information about this movie and advice to watch it (if you don’t know it).
Plot of the
movie:
Ollie and Gertie
are two lovers: he is a native of New Jersey, and works as a head of the press
office of the music division of the agency, while she, in New York, is editor
in a publishing house. Both have high degrees of success, they live together in
the Big Apple and their perfect story, made with love and complicity, so that
they decide to marry.
Gertie becomes
pregnant and the pregnancy continues happily between them , but when the child
comes to light Gertie has just enough time to look at her and then she died due
to a complication, Ollie is so alone and with a daughter to whom he decides to
give the same name of the mother: Gertie. He took refuge at first by his
father, seeking help as totally incapable of caring for a child and decided to
dive back into his work, but a series of events causes Ollie finds him jobless
and desperate. He decides to move permanently to New Jersey and to devote his
life entirely to his daughter, in memory of his wife who has never forgotten.
Meanwhile, Gertie
has grown, leads a peaceful life, go to school and begins to deal with the
other children, Ollie worked with his father with whom he was able to establish
a better relationship with the passage of time, but one night, he meets a girl,
Maya, and the life of him, father and daughter change in some way.
Ollie, meanwhile,
had never stopped trying to return to his field of work and to return to New
York, but after a long time the opportunity presents itself, reassesses its
priorities and decided to continue to live peacefully with the Maya and her
family in New Jersey.
Production:
The director
Kevin Smith, as you can see from the credits, has dedicated this film to his
father, Donald E. Smith, who died a year before. The nickname "Jersey
Girl" is not related to Maya, but at the same daughter Gertie. The film
boasts cameos by Will Smith, Matt Damon and Jason Lee. In the film are more
than once mentioned the musical Cats and Sweeney Todd.
It is one of the
few films of Kevin Smith which do not contain Jay & Silent Bob. The song in
the credits is precisely Jersey Girl by Tom Waits, here in the live version of
Bruce Springsteen. In one scene of the film Gertie says to his father:
"Come on gas, Chewbacca," a clear reference to the Star Wars saga.
Criticism:
The film received
during the edition of 2004, three nominations for Razzie Awards for Worst Actor
Ben Affleck, Worst Supporting Actress and Worst couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben
Affleck choice between Jennifer Lopez and Liv Tyler.
