Tremendously stressed and emotionally shattered, Ollie blows a major press event and is forced to move to New Jersey to live with his father (Carlin). Taking a dead-end job, Ollie subdues his dreams and decides to devote himself to raising Gertie (Castro). But when he strikes up a friendship with Maya (Tyler), a pretty Jersey Girl who works at a video store, Ollie begins to come out of his shell. When a chance to get back into the music industry arises, Ollie is ready to leave his life in New Jersey behind him, but Gertie (Castro) insists that she doesn't want to move to New York. Warmer and fuzzier than what usually comes from Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), Jersey Girl is a nice inclusion to any DVD library. As always, read the end credits.SH
