I would absolutely compare them. On an emotional level it's hard to seriously compare Sterling Hayden to the douche from Jersey Girl. Trust me, as much as I've turned around on Affleck since Gone Baby Gone I definitely still get that.

But if we're trying to be objective - and you say we are - I don't see how we declare one a serious film for adults and the other a mere shoot em up.
