Jennifer Aniston

Oh Just Break-Up Already!

Title: The Break-Up
IMDb: link

What happened here? The ingredients are here for a good film, but nothing happens. Aniston’s second disappointment of the year is even worse than the first (Friends with Money – read that review here). Guys if your girl wants to see this find an excuse, any will do even if you have to cause yourself some physical pain (it will be less than viewing this flick trust me), to stay away.

Brooke (Jennifer Aniston) the sexy art dealer and Gary (Vince Vaughn) the tour bus director met cute at a Cubs/Sox game and have been together ever since. Brooke feels Vince isn’t putting enough into the relationship and decides to break-up with him not because she wants to break-up but because she thinks it will make him love her more and admit he is wrong. Such twisted-movie-female-logic is the stuff this film is made of.

With The Break-Up about to hit theaters we thought we’d take a tiny look at its two stars. Jennifer Aniston got her big break on NBC’s decade long Thursday night staple Friends. She’s also made more than a couple films during that time, some good, and some well…you know. So join us as we take a peek.

With Friends Like These…

Alan Rapp / April 21, 2006 / Movie Reviews

Title: Friends with Money
IMDb: link

I wish Jennifer Aniston would get a new agent. She stars in some really horrendous films and yet finds nice supporting roles in films like She’s the One and Office Space. Then last year she finally hit paydirt in starring in one of the better films of the year in Rumor Has It, but it seems things are back to normal with the regrettable The Break-Up and Friends with Money as well providing yet more disappointment for fans of the girl we fell for as Rachel Green.

The film centers around three married women (Frances McDormand, Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener) and their single friend Olivia (Jennifer Aniston). The women are all well off even if they live somewhat scattered lives. Jane (McDormand) is married to a loving husband (Simon McBurney) whom everyone believes is gay. Franny (Cusack) is married to a loving husband (Greg Germann) with more money than they know what to do with. Christine (Keener) is stuck in a marriage and professional partnership with an emotionally distant man (Jason Isaacs). And then there’s Olivia who quit her job teaching in order to become a maid.

The Rumors are True

Alan Rapp / December 25, 2005 / Movie Reviews

Title: Rumor Has It…
IMDb: link

What if you found out that a well known book and film were based off the real experiences of your family? That’s what happens to Jennifer Aniston’s character as she realizes that, for her family, The Graduate may just have some added meaning.

Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston) is going through a crisis. She’s unsure about her recent engagement to Jeff (Mark Ruffalo) and is traveling back home with him for her younger sister Anne’s (Mena Suvari) wedding. All this anxiety is nothing compared to what will happen next. A discussion with her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) and her mother’s best friend (Kathy Bates) lead her to believe that the book and movie The Graduate was written about her family. She travels to San Francisco to find the man who romanced both her mother and grandmother, Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner), looking for answers and wondering if this man could be her father and if not will she fall under the same spell as her mother and grandmother?
