VarietyDavid Rooney
The unfocused writing makes the film increasingly less convincing as it stumbles toward an awkwardly structured resolution -- closing on a conga line that makes "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" seem cutting-edge. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineFrank Lovece
The real trouble is Jack: He's narcissistic and tough to like (Pontevecchio's fine, but a younger actor might not have brought an impression of arrested development to the character), and his crude sense of humor borders on the disgusting. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
This badly written, badly directed and badly acted little movie about an ordinary guy from Jersey who discovers passion with a fashion plate in Manhattan looks great. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
The only pro involved in this amateurish labor of love is veteran character actor Arthur Nascarella, cast as Jack's florist father. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
Parlavecchio is kind of an asshole, and that–along with the stilted dialogue, clueless portrayals of women, and the fact that much of the plot has been lifted from Tom Perrotta's terrific novel "The Wishbones"–ranks among the film's main problems. Read full review

Village VoiceNita Rao
Like a spiral perm growing out, Jersey Guy droopily unravels as partial homage to the Balki Bartokamous school of bad acting before collapsing into a mess of fragmentary sermonizing on deceit, commitment, and the meaning of choice. Read full review
