Jami Gertz at her best!
Added 7/8/2008
I admit that my purchase of this movie is because of Jami Gertz. Becoming an admirer of her because of her television series Still Standing, I am determined to see her other work, some of which I've never seen before. I'm not disappointed at all with this purchase. Jami is a real delight in this film. She gives a great performance with much subtlety and emotional variety. But most important for me is how likable she is--something I find in almost all of her performances. When I watch Jami, I think to myself, "This is someone I'd marry". Her characters are usually that likable for me. (Note, Jami Gertz is happily married. It's her performances that elicit this response in me.) By the way, Jami can also play more intense characters, such as Kat in Lip Service.
Additionally, Dylan McDermott does a great job as well. I feel they have great chemistry on screen. Perhaps this film is a bit formulaic for some, but for me it's a time-tested formula that stands up. If you're in the mood for an enjoyable romantic film, look no further.

I love the 80's movies!
Added 3/23/2008
Ok, its a little cheesy at times, and a little predictable, but i still love it! I love all the 80's movies, but this ones great because its not just another teen movie. The idea that a girl from "the other side of town", can end up with a hot shot from the city is cool. I love the ending, mcdermott look veeeryyyy nice all wet, lol!!!

I really liked this movie. I always like movies about people ending up with people that are supposed to be out of their league. It's the character of a person; not their lifestyle. Great movie.

Jersey Girl - Mini Review
Added 11/21/2007
It takes a special kind of girl to know exactly what she wants... and not give up anything to get it.

An American Bridget Jones...
Added 9/14/2007
Jami Gertz is perfect, just luminous as a flashy, loud single girl from blue-collar Jersey looking for a rich Mr. Right. She meets the man of her dreams when she causes a car accident with his fancy car. I love her clothes, her hair and nails, her mannerisms. Her girlfriends are just fab with their own big hair and brassy personalities. I know these people and I like them; every town has it's own Jersey girls. The story is one that's been told many times but this one is more fun to watch and has great heart. I just wonder where the Bon Jovi music was because that's the music these girls would have listened to.
