Affleck’s Character Falls in Love On Screen; Stars Falls in Love Off

"If you're ever shooting a movie about two people falling in love,” says the Jersey Girl director. “I can't urge you strongly enough to cast a pair of people who are actually falling in love.

Take after take, we watched Ben and Jen flirt through a rapid-fire-dialogue dance of movie meet-cute. But this wasn't just art imitating life; somehow in the midst of all that smolder, they managed to provide us with a pair of performances which were nothing short of spellbinding."
