Jennifer Aniston is amazing!


Jennifer Aniston is absolutely amazing in the movie! She really shows her acting range and it blows my mind! She is such an amazing actress and im sure will continue to wow us all with her ability in future projects.

She needs to break out of her traditional romantic comedy roles, and do more films like this. She has done very little drama, but from Derailed and The Good Girl, it's clear she is absolutely capable of doing so. I wish she'd do more movies like this that actually have longevity, unlike most romantic comedies that can quickly be forgotten about.

You want a cookie little girl!

Though I thought she was better in Derailed than other movies, I've really never got what ppl see in her.

She's genuine, real and talented. THAT is what people seen in her.

Genuine and real are basically saying the same thing. And how the hell does anyone really know?

TBH she seems like a real bïtch once the cameras are off, if anything.


But again, can't really say for sure and probably shouldn't judge.



I think she's pretty decent in a particular type of role, but outside of that, she's lousy. I think she would really suit thrillers, since she can portray deceitful quite well, posing as a "normal" chick.

Hell, yeah! Her acting is astounding in this movie!

I don't have any feeling for her one way or the other (although I, like every male, loved her in the early years of Friends) but this was one of her worse roles. Credit for trying a different role, but she really didn't pull it off. Maybe not a terrible performance, but a sub par one.

I wouldn't call her performance Oscar worthy but she was much better in this than anything else. She seems to want to play it safe and stick with romantic comedies but she should keep stepping out to dramas like this. She may not want to lose her "Americas's sweetheart" status by getting into too many real roles.

reply

Hmmm... she wasn't great.

Not the worse performance I've seen from her but not the best either.





Ashmi any question

reply

Agreed, I loved her in this role.

reply

As soon as she was required to act that wasn't a rom com or a waitress the entire film just TANKED. Of ALL the actresses working in film then they chose her?! What ? Are they high? She convinced on absolutely no level.

reply

Yeah shes really good.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!
