Ava S The intended message of The Object of My Affection is murky with its tonally inconsistent script, but is rescued from disaster by the charming Aniston and Rudd.

I question the actions and attitudes some of the characters illustrate and it gets overly complicated from time to time, but almost all is forgiven when you have a cadre of characters that you genuinely care about and for whom you are rooting. I'm not the biggest Aniston fan but this is one of her better performances. And Rudd, a ridiculously underrated actor, is nothing short of fantastic. They are surrounded by a rich group of supporting characters, and the script by genius playwright Wendy Wasserstein has a lot to recommend. This received lukewarm reviews and box office upon its initial release, but I consider it an underrated gem, with a bittersweet ending that could be considered borderline maudlin but I felt was painfully perfect. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Has a really solid cast, a cheeky premise and some clever flourishes here and there. It's a serviceable enough indie rom-com but it's fairly forgettable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Story seems a little created or forced, maybe overly convenient but the acting all around was solid. This movie was from 20 years ago and Paul Rudd and Aniston look almost identical today . They may well be the best aging people in all of Hollywood . 2.4. I thought it was funny when Paul Rudd went out of his way to overtly sit like a gay man would . Rudd and Aniston formed a life long friendship seemingly in a few hours which didn’t particularly feel natural Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/20 Full Review Audience Member The Object of My Affection (1998) Rom-Com starts off steady, then meanders, finally falling apart by the end...but I still had a fun time. Nevertheless, this film is a ONE view for me. Regardless, Paul Rudd is always enjoyable, so it was worth the watch for his early talents alone. Jennifer Maniston performs her usual customary, comfortable role. -April 2019 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
