Kevin Smith has said that it's the best movie he's ever done, and he's already enough of a big-name director and critical favorite as it is; I myself don't even know what it's going to be like, not having seen anything from the movie yet-no scenes or nothing; it's still much too early to tell anyway, so I can't really comment yet.
But hopefully, if "Jersey Girl" turns out to be as good as Smith says it is (and I also have a feeling that-since "Gigli", the other Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez movie, has been pushed to August anyway-its release date will be moved later in the year for consideration), then it might turn up among the Academy Award nominees in February of '04-in fact, it might even get a nod for Best Picture. We'll see.
