DO you know that J-lo plays a Lesbian, that then falls in love with Ben and switches the sides?

Ebert can be quite educational sometimes.

Plus, Cristopher Walken plays a cop in it.

Taken from Ebert's review:

"Consider the matching monologues. They've gotten into an argument over the necessity of the penis, which she, as a lesbian, feels is an inferior device for delivering sexual pleasure. He delivers an extended lecture on the use, necessity and perfect design of the appendage. It is a rather amazing speech, the sort of thing some moviegoers are probably going to want to memorize. Then she responds. She is backlit, dressed in skintight workout clothes, doing yoga, and she continues to stretch and extend and bend and pose as she responds with her speech in praise of the vagina. When she is finished, Reader, the vagina has won, hands down. It is so rare to find dialogue of such originality and wit, so well written, that even though we know the exchange basically involves actors showing off, they do it so well, we let them. "

Oh great. I also find out that both Afleck and Lopez characters are working for the mob, and responsible of kidnapping of the retarded brother of DA.

Plot gets better and better.

I heard this was the worst movie ever created.

Well, Just read the damn review, its hillarious:

" Meanwhile, Brian behaves like a well-rehearsed Movie Retarded Person, does or doesn't do whatever the script requires, and conveniently disappears into his room when he is not needed"

And its not all: Al Pacino shows up in a cameo as New York ganster !!!!

WTF is with this movie

It's the front runner for worst movie of the year. Everyone who' seen it says it's awful in every conceivable way.

I heard they're delaying the release of Jersey Girl because of this abomination.

Yeah, I heard whoever edited should be shot. And random things take place that have no relevance to the plot... not surprising if a movie has had its story rewritten several times over the course of the filming.
