In Kevin Smith Related News...
The centerpiece of this film is the dialogue and the relationships. I expected over two hours, but I expected to feel it. I think it was brilliant - I ate up every conversation, believed and loved Affleck with his Dad and with Liv Tyler (whose character I really liked - I hope we don't lose a second of her in the final cut). I think when Tyler shows up is when I start enjoying Affleck more. The little girl is fantastic. Smith does a brilliant job of giving us a sympathetic father-son relationship that's neither dominated by clichÈd abandonment/lack of affection issues or older-and-wiser omniscient father syndrome. It's like most actual relationships - you feel like you're seeing it in a context of the whole lives of these people; the film doesn't attempt to idealize and capture the entire meaning of that relationship in one climactic scene.
I partly really value this because most of the crap that's passed for movies about relationships is completely worthless in terms of identifying with the characters or situations - they mostly just try to get us to buy in to the fantasy. I'll take something from Kevin Smith even if I have to watch some not-my-top-10 actors say the lines.
Damn i cant wait to SEE JERSEY GIRL in November.
