Jealous? No. I just think his movies are shit. "Getting money" doesn't mean your work is good. Ask Ron Jeremy.

I was just playing around, I know you're not jealous because you're you and he's himself

When writer's start becoming jealous of other writers than we're no better than actors and musicians, might as well start dressing dirty and be called a slut for no reason other than hollywood needs that kind of crap in there lives I guess

No doubt. There are a lot of people who get paid to produce useless shit. I don't wanna be one of those people, but for those who can get away with it, more power to 'em.

yeah I wouldn't want to be one of them either, but if I start aging and still go nowhere I'll just keep writing as a hobby

*another way late review, but I just watched the DVD so why not?*

Kevin Smith trademarks:
1. Dick and fart jokes - none
2. Cursing to the umpteenth degree - nadda
3. Pop culture disection - no sir
4. Jay and Silent Bob - not here

So can Kevin Smith make a movie without these old traits to fall back on?  I say, you bet your motherf***ing c***smocking a** he can... snoogans.

This sixth film from Kevin Smith was a soft and sweet departure from his previous films, but it reallly worked for me.  The movie was brimming with heart, chuckles and charm.

Ben Affleck gives a tour de force performance as Ollie Trinke, a workaholic publicist, who if left to raise his daughter by himself after his wife (played by Jennifer Lopez) dies in childbirth.  Raquel Castro plays his daughter Gertrude, and is absolutely adorable in the role.  George Carlin plays Ollie's father and had this nasty tendancy to steal every scene he was in, but hell the man was Mr. Conductor.  And Liv Tyler plays Ollie's love interest, and while she doesn't exactly bring the thunder, she's adequate. ...oh yeah Jason Biggs in there too.

I was fond of the entire movie, because, although he may have lost Jay and Bob, Kevin Smith hasn't lost his sense of humor.  The movie is cute without being TOO cute.  It's sentimental without going way over the top.  It has a little trouble avoiding cliches, but Smith has a way to even make the cliched scenes have their own charms.

All around it was another solid effort from Smith, and it might not be on par with Clerks or Chasing Amy, he's proven he can make a film that you wouldn't be embarassed to show your parents and is great at the same time.

I loved this movie, really, I think it's Smith's best, but that's just my opinion.
All the drama, no lame jokes, no silent bob and shit, liv tyler, can you make this any better?
I especially liked the ending scene, where the dad almost made me cry, so good.

This isn't one of Kevin Smith's better films, it was well written and acted, although at times it got a little too sentimental and cliched for my liking.
