***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Jami Gertz plays Toby Mastallone, a ditzy, unsophistocated young lady From New Jersey, who works at a daycare. She hangs out with her friends, who's names are juvenille and childish, in a funny way, Cookie, Dottie, Star, and Jasper. The funniest parts of the film seem to be at the beggining, where he meets Mr. Wright after wrecking his mercedes! Which cost about 6,000 bucks damage. Sal M. is Mr Wright. Who is the perfect man. He's a sophisticated tradesman. The main reason I watched this film was Joseph Mazzello,I thought it seemed like an interesting role, going against the grain to his trademark. He playes a kid at the nursery, in a yellow shirt and red overalls, but dissapointingly the only screen time he had was in two scences at the very beggining and end of the film, and his only real lines are only at the beggining, where he builds something out of Popsicle sticks, and a girl wrecks it, he gets mad and says something, tries to throw a dinosaur at her, but then he apologizes and becomes friends, when Toby comes to resolve the problem. I can't believe it it was lame that he was billed fourth in the movie. Throughout the first half of the film Sal seems to try to avoid Toby. Later romance gets real serious and there's kissing and nudity, and an emotional situation where her friends finally meet Sal, and they persuade her to quit seeing him, and she feels like an ugly duckling "Jersey Girl" and says the F-Word. There's a happy and hilarious climax result, and Sal seems to give up even his own job for her.
