Test T

The story here is a too contrived to be convincing, but overall I found the movie pleasant and entertaining to watch. Jennifer Aniston is clearly the main attraction, and she deliveres a solid likeable performance along with the supporting cast. The film ends realistically for the characters which helps reconcile the misguided corporate nonsense with the audience. My main concern with the movie was that it lacks the charasmatic magic which can make a movie special.

The script didn't work at all for me.

Succeeds on the comedy front and significantly struggles on the romantic drama front. Aniston comically portrays an arguably unlikeable character but at no point will the viewer dislike the main character at all.

Jennifer Aniston plays an ad executive who gets in over her head when she gets called out on a little white lie about a man she claims to be engaged to, played by Jay Mohr, and convinces him to help her pull off a fake relationship to get out of it. Typical ridiculous rom-com premise made tolerable by the likeable cast. In addition to Aniston and Mohr, Kevin Bacon is featured. Enjoyable but predictable.

Time Out

[Aniston] has the rare gift of getting you to root for her in the most trying of circumstances, a quality that will stand her in good stead when she progresses to better material.

[Aniston] at her best can recall young Barbra Streisand in her What's Up, Doc? days.

...a by-the-numbers yet workable premise that's employed to consistently underwhelming effect by Caron...
