I'm only posting this review because I currently own 700 shares in the movie. They note that the film is kind of nice, because Smith finally moves away from the vulgarity. That is one of my biggest complaints about his movies. Besides finding them boring, I also find the vulgar dialogue completely distracting and strange. Who talks like those people? Anyway, I'm hoping this movie will give some boost to my stock in Affleck and jersey girl.

Posted by: scott cunningham at March 17, 2004 04:29 PMExcuse me, but Pennsylvania (my home state) is pretty large. And glomming PA onto NY and NJ is an insult to Keystone Staters everywhere. You might hear "Dogma"-level lingo in Philly or Pittsburgh, but there are all shades of variations in between, and I doubt you'd hear that level of vulgarity on the streets of, say, Altoona, Jim Thorpe, or Lancaster.
So please tell me where in PA you lived, so we can send out a detail immediately.

Posted by: Daniel Stoddart at March 17, 2004 04:51 PMYay Lancaster! I imagine there's some pretty crude folk in the city itself, but I live out with the Amish, for heaven's sakes. Not gonna hear anything like that around there.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey...ne'er the twain shall meet.
Posted by: Evan Donovan at March 17, 2004 05:41 PMI haven't seen the movie but from the trailers it looks like worth going and seeing. Probably will be on my to see list once it comes out at the afforable theater $2.50 here in Chattanooga.
Posted by: Tony Campbell at March 17, 2004 06:49 PMYeah, folks talk like that around here, but a lot of them aren't from the city. They're from South Jersey and the Philly burbs.
