| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Jersey Girl Movie Rating:  Stale
| |
| Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) is a flippant music publicist who, in quick succession, becomes a father, a widower, and jobless. Moving home from Manhattan to New Jersey to live with his father (George Carlin) and raise his daughter (Raquel Castro), he discovers unexpected joy in parenthood and possible romance with video-store clerk Maya (Liv Tyler). | |
| And yes, Jay and Silent Bob fans, this is a movie from writer/director Kevin Smith, but don't expect the perpetually stoned duo to show up. In fact, don't expect to laugh as much either, as this stale, stifled bit of heartfelt warmth is an emphatic detour from Smith's foul-mouthed, anything-goes tradition. |
