Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) is a smooth and successful Manhattan music
publicist who seems to have it all. When his perfect life is suddenly
tragically upended - leaving him as a single father unqualified for the
role - he snaps.
Before long Ollie's big city life is a memory. Out of a job and out
of luck, he reluctantly moves in with his father (George Carlin) back
home to the New Jersey suburb where he was raised. It is the lowest
point in his life. Just ask him.
The years pass and with them Ollie's plans for his future.
Stuck in an unexciting, dead-end job, he sees no way out and no way
back to the life he used to love. But he adores his young daughter
Gertie (Raquel Castro), and she loves their life in the 'burbs. To her,
Jersey is paradise.
While renting Gertie's favorite movie for the zillionth time one day,
Ollie meets Maya (Liv Tyler), who challenges his priorities and
perspective. He begins to realize that sometimes you have to forget
about who you thought you were, accept who you are and acknowledge what
makes you happy.
A dramatic comedy from writer/director, Kevin Smith, JERSEY
GIRL reveals the honest, heartfelt and often amusing story about the
man who wanted it all but got all that he needed.
JERSEY GIRL also stars Jason Biggs, Jennifer Lopez, Stephen Root, and Mike Starr.
