I hope it works. Listen, I'm confident that Kevin can write new material for J&SB until the cows come home, and it'll be funny most of the time, especially because Kevin's target audience is the dick-and-fart-joke demographic. It's just a matter of whether he wants to escape that. Jersey Girl was his first attempt. So it didn't work. That's okay. But I just can't help but feel that Kevin's running back home with his tail between his legs.

Am I the only one who thought that Chasing Amy was a walk in the other direction of dick & fart jokes? I mean c'mon that movie was maybe 20% humor and the rest all had to do with messages and substance. I wouldn't say Jersey Girl was his first attempt at making a serious movie because aside from the few funny moments early on in the film and a little bit later, Chasing Amy was a serious film...I don't know if I would really call it much of a comedy. To the topic at hand....I dunno he did enough "where are they now?" back stories in most of his movies already. Especially J&S-B Strike Back so a sequel to one of them isn't really all that foreign. But I can see where it may look like he's running back to a sure shot but he's a smart guy and he knows people would have been skeptical about seeing a sequel about the movie thus making it not really a "sure" shot ya know? I'll check it out when it comes and if it's good, great I'll buy it..if not..I probably won't care all that much I haven't really been completely dissappointed with him yet (ain't seen Jersey Girl though) so I probably won't completely ignore any further attempts by him to make other films.
Asta!!
