Munkhchimeg T Jennifer Aniston ❤️❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Jeff M The romantic comedy genre is far from my favorite, but there's something about this one that really appeals to me. 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 Bull M This film was everything it was advertised to be. Fun, feel-good, non-Oscar-contending chick flick. Another reviewer mentioned dismay at the level of sexual tension. I missed that. There was some wishful thinking on the part of Anniston's character that her gay best friend's sexuality would somehow magically change or that his sexual needs would suddenly lay dormant, but that is all handled well. I like how the gay character is portrayed as a regular, guy next door instead of resorting to effeminate, depressed, dying, wealthy, and other stereotypes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 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
