I have Jersey Girl on DVD and have watched it a half dozen times. It is without a doubt one of my favorite chick flicks. It comes just short of Where the Heart Is.
Final Destination 3:
It's a typical dead teenager movie, and probably the purest form of the genre ever devised. The formula is strictly followed: A young person has a vision of a disaster, averts the disaster, saving a group of people who are then killed off one by one unless someone intervenes to save them.
The pure part of it comes in the villain. Death is the villain. There's nobody stalking them, they just die in these strange Rube Goldbergesque elaborate deathtraps.
The first, and most intricate, is easily the best as four different innocuous actions add up to a very elaborate death trap. I could feel myself grinning as I followed the series of steps that lead to a couple of very gruesome deaths for a couple of innocent girls, both played by soft porn stars so that they could have elaborate, lingering closeups of the their silicone breasts on several occasions.
It's definitely a strictly "disengage brain" movie, but a lot of fun if you like this sort of thing. Which I do. The mechanics of the better deathtraps appeals to my meticulous nature.
