New York Times: Jen Garner is Captivating

New York Times: Jen Garner is Captivating

Jennifer Garner (in Oscar de la Renta) joins director David Leveaux for the opening night after-party of Cyrano De Bergerac at NYC’s Spotlight on Thursday.

“I’m ready for a glass of wine!” she said after making her Broadway debut Thursday night.”I’m just happy that I stayed on my feet and said everything that I was suppose to say.”

Added Jen’s supportive hubby Ben Affleck: “She did fine! It was terrific, and I had a lot of fun. I’m really impressed by her courage and her talent.”

Even the New York Times can’t stop drooling over the captivating actress: “The latest in a series of boldface film and television actresses to test their stage legs (including Julia Roberts and Claire Danes), Ms. Garner seems by far the most comfortable. The action-ready, long-limbed presence that made her a natural for the spy series Alias lends a lively touch of the tomboy to Roxane. Like Cyrano, she doesn’t quite fit into the regimented world around her, and you can see why these two were meant to be together. Ms. Garner, I am pleased to report, makes Roxane a girl worth pining over.”

Good for her.

She looks great. So classy!

Please Jared, write more stories about women like Jennifer Garner instead of Britney, Paris , Victoria and so on. It’s so much more interesting.

# 5

MAN STEALER!

# 6

Can the moron above me explain how she’s a man stealer and worse than Britney & Paris? Seriously.

I am not a Jennifer G fan, but I am very happy for her. And yes, she looks great in the dress.

Go Jen Go

The New York Times “gushing???” How cool. I accidentally met Jennifer Garner in Toronto at the film festival. She was taller then I expected, wore jeans and had NO make up on. And she looked beautiful, on a sidewalk in the Yorkville district. I am glad she did well in her stage debut on Broadway. It takes a ton of courage to go out there live in person and play a role every night. And I believe Ben is very proud. I am happy for them both. His directing debut was really fine.

While J.Lo is flopping hard with her carreer garner is starting to grown! I can’t wait for juno

i saw this during previews and while im no hardcore JG fan, she was VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! im glad the times - known for killing people - was able to see the same thing i saw!

I saw the preview and LOVED it! she was very good :)
she deserves the great reviews!!!

killing as in everyone sucks in their reviews.

I think this year has been fantastic for Affleck¨s family.
For more about this cute family, come to my forum, in english and spanish.

Beautiful dress. She’s so cute. Good for her!

Congrats to her on her Broadway debut.

jennier is an angel love herrrrrrrr she looks pretty with this dress

I saw the trailer for Juno too. I’m looking forward to it, especially because of Ellen Page and Michael Cera.

I’m neither a fan or hater of BenniferII or whatever the nickname, but I would recommend Ben’s flick ‘Gone, Baby, Gone’. For his first directorial effort, it was pretty good.

And again, good for her. She is clearly carving out her career without relying on her or Ben’s or their combined starpower.

she got skinny!Whoa!She should gain some weight!

she looks so ugly

she looks so ugly

Congrats to Jen. What a thrill it must be to hear all the applause and get those curtain calls.

The Post gave her pretty bad reviews.

Jennifer is always dressed appropriately for (all) occasions….a very lovely wife, mother, and actress!
