Jersey Girl

They pretty much coined the term "forgettable" to describe movies like this. Ben Affleck struggles valiantly to save his career and Liv Tyler is as sweet as sugar-coated heroin, but neither can remove the schmaltz from this tired recipe: Single dad and painfully wise daughter face life and love and hardship and joy and toilet flushing issues. Jersey Girl is not a bad movie, it’s just in no way a good or original one. Perhaps this indicates that filmmaker Kevin Smith has finally grown up and made the mature decision to sell out completely. I wish him luck.
