Got to see a sneak preview last week (don't worry, I'll still be paying to see it opening weekend...and a few times after that). I must say that I absolutely loved it. Easily your best work. This is the movie that I've always hoped and known you could make. My one weird complaint (and it does seem strange since I'm such a big fan of all your movies) is the language. I don't think I've ever heard the word "shit" so much in a PG-13. While I'm definitely not offended by bad language (as evidenced by my love of your other movies), it just seemed out of place. A few times it worked for emphasis, but most of the time there seemed to be no reason and the diaglog wouldn't have been hurt without it. But other than that, I think the movie was pretty much perfect. Easily Affleck's best performance, and everyone else was great too! I was looking forward to this movie for quite some time and was not disappointed at all. I think Jersey Girl may beat out Chasing Amy for my favorite movie of yours...and that's saying something! Kudos
