Review

kevin smith tries out new territory here and has mixed results. he’s still able to create comic moments and write good dialogue, but his attempts at drama feel strained and mostly fall flat. the stars of the show are raquel castro (in the title role) and liv tyler, while ben affleck has an average performance. vilmos zsigmond (psycho a go-go, deer hunter, close encounters, blow out, etc.) does the cinematography and lights jennifer lopez pretty well, but doesn’t offer much visual inspiration to what is pretty much a by the numbers romantic comedy/drama.
