Kevin Smith is a talented filmmaker, so before you get on my case about disliking the guy, let me just inform you all that I'm a huge fan of his work. Clerks is great, Mallrats is amazing, Chasing Amy is okay, Dogma was decent, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was hilarious, and so on. With that being said, I was shocked by how bad this movie turned out.You have an all-star cast, an amazing director, and so much potential all wasted for nothing! Ben Affleck is a likable guy but not here and the girl who plays the bratty daughter is not only annoying as hell but she is TERRIBLE. Absolutely atrocious! This Raquel Castro girl makes Veruca Salt look tolerable. It's clear that Liv Tyler and Will Smith couldn't refuse the paycheck by signing on to this complete mess of a movie. Jason Biggs, what were you thinking?! American Pie was the highlight of your career and now it seems that your agent picks your scripts to act in at random, regardless of the quality.The plot goes nowhere, the characters are uninteresting, and I found the whole experience to be just boring. We're talking about a once great writer-director and THIS is what we get? You've got to be kidding me. It tries to be sappy and then it attempts to be raunchy and then Kevin Smith doesn't know whether his target audience for this are kids or adults. There was never a time in the process where his producer, Scott Mosier, read the script and told him, "C'mon! You can totally do better than this"? Seriously, this is a movie with the words BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD written all over it. Watch Clerks or Mallrats instead of Jersey Hurl!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! It made me cry more then once. I didn't expected to move me the way it did. Ben Affleck's acting was awesome. I could feel his pain. The little girl was my favorite, she was so endearing. I wish more fathers were like Ben Affleck's character. The story line was so sad but at the same time so LIFE like. Things happen in this world that we cannot get over and it caries on no matter how long it has been. I cant say enough good things about this movie. It's funny and fun. charming and full of family warmth. Awesome movie. You must watch it! I cant believe I went all this years without watching it.
