this movie be pretty absurd . there be a few funny part . it go right in to the bin of movie in my memory where i think and hmm . that movie have a few funny part and but overall and pretty ridiculous plot ( or lack of ) . i think it seem like ben be try a little too hard to be a cooky funny guy . and i do not understand how he be a self make multi millionaire and still such an idiot . anyways and i like ben affleck . he make some crap and but hey and i can forgive him . i mean and i like jersey girl and i do not think gigli be all his fault and i like him overall . i guess he kinda like the kid you feel sorry for cuz he just can not seem to get it right . my advice would be to avoid this flick . it do not really develop in to a workable plot and catherine ohara and jimmy g. weren not use as well a they could have be . they deserve well . overall and this movie be not home alone and it not a christmas story and it not christmas vacation or any of the other classic . forever forgettable .
