He wanted it all…but he got more than he bargained for.

Today we are talking about the 2004 film written and directed by Kevin Smith, Jersey Girl. This film put a bad taste in people’s mouth because the year previous the tabloids hit us over the head with the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (remember Bennifer?) So when audiences heard that the two actors were playing husband and wife early in the film – they were over it!!. In this film Ben plays, Ollie, a widower must look after his newborn daughter while he rebuilds his career after he blew it up.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- George Carlin’s acting in this film
- Raquel Castro looks like JLo’s actual daughter
- How Kevin puts his wife, daughter and other family members in his films
- The “What are your intentions” scene with both Gertie’s character and Ollie’s character
- How Kevin willed Ben to be Batman in more than one of his films.
