Why does Jennifer Aniston’s charactor think so little of herself. Just because she doesn’t have money?

Oddly enough, nothing in your description made the movie sound uninteresting. In fact, I find these sort of desperate relationships fascinating (and living in the power/money hungry world of DC, completely realistic). It’s nice to see reviews on this site, but really what this told me was more about the reviewer and his taste in people than in the movie itself.

I guess that’s the way you have to read reviews, see if what annoys the reviewer would also annoy you. But it would be nice to also have known something about more than the personality of the characters. How’s the editing, for instance. That might seem like an odd question in a character-based film, but it may (or maybe not, you’ haven’t told us) have affected the presentation of the characters. As it stands the film sounds interesting, the missing details would help make this review complete.

Obviously, its another case of Hollywood trying to put out what they consider a “Serious Women’s Film. They usually do this every couple of years, I believe the last offering in this category was “The Hours” starring Nicole Kidman and her big false nose. Dullest film I ever saw, but Kidman won Best Actress for it, as I recall.

These type of films are always received well by the Academy, always win many awards for the actresses who star in them because they have the “courage” to go makeup-less and look like a dog for their art. The storyline is usually immaterial, its those big exposed pores and chin hairs that slays the press every time.
