The Worst Film Ever

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The plot for this movie is really awful that I decided to contribute my 2 cents. I think this movie is truly a fantasy movie for the women who grew up in trailers in this country. Which guy in his right mind would actually give up his career that he worked so hard all his life for just for some low-class,broke, uneducated woman that ran into his $70,000 car? Initially, the guy didn't want anything to do with her, but she insisted on calling the guy constantly and following him to the restaurant, which is considered stalking. On top of that, this movie portrayed this woman to be a "sweet, innocent" working class girl from Jersey who is not after his money? Who are they kidding here?

I can't think or a more trite plot than this film. Nothing but cliches and stereotypes in the oldest poor girl meets arogant boy story. Yet, this was something that was touching, sensitive and if I dare say, transcendent.Jami Gertz portrayal of Toby was perfection. The rest of the casting was also perfectly on target. Shucks, even the pre-schooler who told Toby that the "boys were being nuts" was terrific. I suppose direction had much to do with the effectiveness of this film. Each character only existed in the context of their relationships with other characters. They were individuals, but they were never more than who they were in the film.This was a rare and beautiful piece of work.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Jami Gertz plays Toby Mastallone, a ditzy, unsophistocated young lady From New Jersey, who works at a daycare. She hangs out with her friends, who's names are juvenille and childish, in a funny way, Cookie, Dottie, Star, and Jasper. The funniest parts of the film seem to be at the beggining, where he meets Mr. Wright after wrecking his mercedes! Which cost about 6,000 bucks damage. Sal M. is Mr Wright. Who is the perfect man. He's a sophisticated tradesman. The main reason I watched this film was Joseph Mazzello,I thought it seemed like an interesting role, going against the grain to his trademark. He playes a kid at the nursery, in a yellow shirt and red overalls, but dissapointingly the only screen time he had was in two scences at the very beggining and end of the film, and his only real lines are only at the beggining, where he builds something out of Popsicle sticks, and a girl wrecks it, he gets mad and says something, tries to throw a dinosaur at her, but then he apologizes and becomes friends, when Toby comes to resolve the problem. I can't believe it it was lame that he was billed fourth in the movie. Throughout the first half of the film Sal seems to try to avoid Toby. Later romance gets real serious and there's kissing and nudity, and an emotional situation where her friends finally meet Sal, and they persuade her to quit seeing him, and she feels like an ugly duckling "Jersey Girl" and says the F-Word. There's a happy and hilarious climax result, and Sal seems to give up even his own job for her.

Okay, so Jersey Girl is supposed to be one of those Working Girl/Pretty Woman kind of releases from the burger diners, hoop earings, and thick accents and into a world of high class. Tobey, Jamie Gertz's character is set on changing her lifestyle, preferably by finding herself a man to take her away from it all. Dylan McDermott plays that man. He's the slick corporate guy that Tobey's been looking for. She wrecks his car, gets all obsessive about her alleged destiny man, and boom, you have a love story that ends with a sloppy sewer water kiss. Too bad this love story sucks. I've seen Jamie Gertz in a lot better things, and I hardly think of Dylan McDermott as any kind of a lover, he was just another one of those immature guys who's too superficial to care about anything like Rob Lowe's character in About Last Night... If your looking for a girl who wants to be 'movin' on up' your best bet is Working Girl (moving on up from secretary to boss in the financial district) and Pretty Woman (moving on up from prostitute to the Madame of Rodeo Drive) and those kinds of things. Jersey Girl is just a waste of time. I might've like it if it had some good humor to it, at least, but it wasn't even funny.
