- We’re just back from tonight’s Jersey Girl screening to a packed house in Sherman Oaks, California. We’ll have a full review of the film at the site for you soon, but wanted to just give a couple initial impressions. We both enjoyed the film a great deal, and it’s SUCH a departure from Kevin’s previous work that you’ll get lost in the film (until a familiar Askewniverse face shows up now and then). It’s shot beautifully, acted wonderfully (Affleck has some truly touching as well as painful moments), and this is by far the most universally-translatable View Askew film. This one should bring in audiences both young and old, here and abroad, and has laughs for all ages.
The crowd was very responsive overall, with some jokes/sequences getting HUGE laughs that sustained for quite some time. Any film that can do that has a lot going for it, and from the conversations we overhead before the film started, this was a tough crowd to win over. When you see Jersey Girl this Fall, you’ll be seeing a step in a very new direction for Kevin and View Askew Productions. We hope you’ll be as proud of them as we are right now. Watch for a full review (non spoiler, of course) and our complete trip wrap-up after we get back into town later this week.
