Jersey Girl is a 2004 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It stars Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Raquel Castro, George Carlin, Jason Biggs, Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith. At $35 million it was Kevin Smith's biggest-budget project to date, but was a financial disappointment at the box office and received poor reviews. It is also the first film by Smith not to be set in the View Askewniverse or to feature appearances by Jay and Silent Bob. Oliver "Ollie" Trinké is a powerful media publicist in New York City who loses his wife, Gertrude , in childbirth. To avoid his... grief, he buries himself in his work and ignores his new daughter, Gertie, while his father, Bart , takes a month off from work to care for her, but returns so that his son is forced to live up to his responsibility as a parent. Under the stress of a botched diaper change and a baby who will not stop crying, Ollie trashes his client in front of assembled reporters. The outburst costs him his job, so he moves in with his father in New Jersey.
