Granted, I found it a little late, but it's still a good read.
It wasn't written by Ed, but it does have the trademark Ed smarts.
My favourite part: The movie doesn’t deserve such intense criticism, but it got it in spades. Why? Jersey Girl claims that money, power and glamour aren’t the only ways to happiness. It’s a hard sell to film reviewers hanging onto the coattails of the Hollywood lifestyle. To them, enjoying family life is ‘saccharine’. Choosing people over wealth is ‘syrupy’. Can you feel the emotional security systems slamming into operation?
