Synopsis

JERSEY GIRL is a '90s-era dramatic comedy about a man named Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) and the effects a new wife and 6 year-old daughter, Gertie (Raquel Castro), have on his seemingly already full life. Gertie is precocious and entirely lovable. Like her mother, she is down to earth, clever, and a huge fan of the musical Sweeney Todd. While Gertie is able to manipulate Ollie with the finesse of an adult, she is ultimately Daddy's little girl.

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.
