Absolutely Terrible, 27 March 2004
1/10

It was either go see the movie or come home and scrub the toilets. I'll curse the that decision for the rest of my days.

The wife thought it was disgusting, gross, stupid, and entirely without a single funny moment. And she liked it much better than I did. I've never walked out of a movie before, but I came darn close to heading out of Jersey Girl after about half an hour. It wasn't funny. It wasn't touching. It was terrible. Easily, the worst movie I've ever seen at the theater.

It was my idea to go see it. Now I have to think of a way to make it up to my wife. Maybe I'll by her one of those Lexuses with the big bow on top. Nah, still not enough.

Trust me: Don't see this movie.
