First off, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck is not bad actors! Ever seen J.LO in Out of Sight? She can play other characters than sweet and romantic ones, and I enjoy her on movies! Ben Affleck is AWESOME, I love that guy. I haven't seen Gigly, only heard bad things about it! If they play bad, it's probably the director we have to blame... he tells the actors how to act! And who knows, maybe it's not that easy and relaxing to act with your girl/boyfriend? From the first time I heard about Jersey Girl, I was abosulely thrilled... I just couldn't wait! Offcourse I got a little disappointed that Kevin Smith wouldn't make more movies with Jay and Silent Bob(Strikes Back were the best comedies ever). But with Kevins intelligens, the way he uses the words, his humor... I haven't had one doubt, for one single second, that this movie wont be one of his best! Offcourse he's going for the more serious humor(like Chasing Amy, but also a great movie), instead of the Clerks/Mallrats style of humor! But come on, he's gotta grow up sometime... But, I do understand your consern about him changing his concept on movies, when you're used to the weed, dick and fart jokes, and knows he'll go for something like this(I was too for a second, but hey, it's Kevin Smith we're talking about. But again, don't worry... the movie will be great! He's also is associated with Scary Movie 3, if anyone should be interested! He have assisted with the script, so we aren't completly done with Kevins usual dick jokes!
