I know there's a thread down below on this topic, but I wanted to try and get some responses, and I didn't want anyone to miss it.
In all of the talk about Jersey Girl, I think one major point has been missed.
Alot of people have been saying it's a bad sign that the studio has pushed it backuntil February. I on the other hand think it's fantastic.
This is a romantic comedy. Kevin's first forray into non r rated material. Which means more teens and twenties people will go see it on dates. It is a date movie for goddsakes.
And what's goin on in Febrauary that forces guys to take chicks on dates? Oh yeah Valentines day.
I think the studio did a wonderful thing here. After all, Summer is for the blockbuster action flick, October is for the Horror flick, December is for the family flick, January is for the flick that you know is gonna lose money as no one has any to spend, And February is for the romantic comedy.
I think the studio putting this movie out head to head with action flicks and horrow flicks and flicks we all know are gonna carry the day would have been stupid.
I'm of the opinion the studio thinks this movie is gonna be great, after all they want to make the bank, and they are putting it out against everyone esle's romantic comedy. They feel this one is gonna be the best in their mind.
What do you think of this arguement? Agree? Disagree? Think there wasn't enough boobie references in it? Wanna buy some pot?
