This movie was truly amazing. Jennifer Aniston was phenomenal. During the film, her performance actually erased all memory of the annoyingly peppy Rachel Green, replacing her with a lethargically desperate, unhappily married woman in a small town.
I can also say, without exa...( read more)
I know that this one received critical acclaim, and the performances from Gyllenhaal and John Reilly were quite good, but this just didn't work for me.
"It's her last best chance... is she going to take it?"
Jennifer Aniston stars as Justine, a woman who is feeling constrained by her life. Her husband, Phil (John C. Reilly), is a house painter who spends the majority of his time smoking marijuana with his friend Bubba (T...( read more)
I normally hate jake gyllenhaal and jennifer aniston, but their hopeless and depressing characters were tolerable. Zooey Deschanel and John C. Reilly were the true charms of this movie, and I was wishing they were in it more the whole time. Still, not a bad film. Felt like ano...( read more)
I was expecting a cheesy chick flick and I could not have been more wrong.
This is a very interesting film that shows the complexity of life. Difficult to explain but I really enjoyed it, it's quite dark in certain ways but definitely worth a watch.

Surprisingly good Aniston in a serious role.. i was fascinated...
I love this movie SO much, I watch it over and over. Jennifer is a wonderful actress. She draws you into her character of Jutsine. I love it.
Jennifer Aniston is very good in this movie - a sweet tale of a shop assistant wanting a more exciting or different life. Gyllenhaal is excellent as her romantic love interest, but again a typical American ending.
A smart, arch and rather cold-blooded comedy. full review
Aniston has at last decisively broken with her Friends image in an independent film of satiric fire and emotional turmoil. full review
A small, smart indie pic with a twisted sensibility. full review
The characters may be lost, but viewers will be grateful to have stumbled on this darkly comic and well-told story. full review
A creepy, funny, steamy, oddly touching movie. full review
I Love Jen & I like Jake .
But his charactor was too dark for me, and I found the film to be boring and just couldnt keep me interested I didnt make it to the end.
No idea what all the hype was about?
I was very disapointed in this film.
