So... I Finally Watched Jersey Girl

I have been an avid Kevin Smith fan since the first time I listened to SModcast.  Since then, I have managed to collect just about every movie Kevin Smith was involved in, from Clerks to Fanboys for his small appearance.  There was still one movie missing from my Kevin Collection, Jersey Girl.  I had been reluctant to buy it or even watch it because of all the bad things I've heard about it. 

Then yesterday, as if it were a sign from god himself, I stumbled upon a used copy of Jersey Girl for $6.99 at the local Beat Goes On.  I pondered about the pros and cons of buying a potentially terrible movie:

Pros:
1. Would look good in my Kevin Smith Collection.
2. There is a small chance it might actually be good.

Cons:
1. If what I've heard is correct, it is a terrible movie.
2. I was really hungry at that particular moment, and was planning on going to Subway with the $10 I had.

I ended up purchasing the movie, and later that night popped it in the dvd player.

Long story short, I loved it! Not only did the movie look fantastic compared to Smith's earlier work, but I found myself tearing up during a couple parts of the film.  If it weren't for the teenage fans of Kevin's that just want dick and fart jokes, and the people who for some reason couldn't stand seeing Affleck and Lopez together, Smith would have seen the praise he deserves for his work on this film.

P.S.  I'm very happy with my decision to skip Subway.
