Kirk Honeycutt has a mixed review of Jersey Girl in yesterday's Hollywood Reporter. He expects a big box office, which is great to hear. Some (non-spoiler) highlights:

Good:

"it's pleasing to witness Smith operating without the geeky brashness and potty-mouth dialogue. The presence of Vilmos Zsigmond, one of the world's great cinematographers, certainly makes this the best-looking film of Smith's career"

"The much-delayed film should rack up above-average numbers for Miramax as it reaches out beyond Smith's core audience to bring in older audiences."

Not so good:

"Smith stumbles setting up dramatic confrontations and strains credibility a time or two with implausible moments."

"There is no question that Smith's heart is in the right place, but his dramatic instincts fail him miserably."
