character portraits

Jersey Girl looks so lame I haven't even bothered reading the reviews. Except for Stephen Holden's, which gives good visual summaries of the film's two leads. Affleck struggles "in vain to twist what has become a natural sneer into a semblance of a smile." And Tyler's "monotone matches a face that's the equivalent of pasteurized milk." Now, no more on that.

At the very least, Salon gave Carlin's performance some kind words.

And Lady Aberlin of Mister Rogers Neighborhood is in it too.

It's sad, this is the type of movie Kevin Smith used to make fun of - before he became part of the crap mill.
