Writer, director, producer and occasional actor Kevin Smith is used to making MA and R-rated comedies that are a bit crude and obscene while being somewhat intelligent and original, but a romantic PG-style comedy was a new concept to him and his first effort at one was not as good as could be expected. It is fairly watchable though. Ben Affleck's character is successful and his relationship with his wife is satisfying if not too eventful, however their relationship takes a turn for the worse when Jennifer Lopez's character dies during childbirth. This is where the movie starts to become cringeworthy, although Affleck & Lopez's on-screen chemistry is lacklustre anyway. The scene with Affleck's constant mourning and crying over his recently deceased wie seems to drag on a bit too long, and his father has to force him to finally accept his daughter as more than just the reason for his wife's death. He gradually learns to love his daughter and they get along fine, then he meets a girl played by Liv Tyler who he unsuspectingly becomes involved with. Unfortunately some of the dialogue here seems a bit unusual and even unlikely and you have to wonder whether this is more of how the writer wishes things could be rather than how they actually happen. Overall this movie is watchable if not including things we've all seen before, but Kevin Smith's effort to loosely tell the story of how he raised his own child is not as entertaining as was hoped, and he should stick to the style of comedy he knows best with movies such as Mallrats, Dogma, Chasing Amy and Clerks I and II.
