Amazing Master piece
3 June 2006
I will not leave a summary because the others are great, it is more then great it is emotional, touching, funny and deals with all the many issues that human beings go through, one of the major being money, but also accepting yourself and dealing with what the world is about. I believe that independent films will take over the 'blockbusters' because they hit home to the audience, and make you realize, that life is not all beautiful with Hollywood standing in the back, with models, and a perfect ending. Live life not knowing what will happen, have the unknown, this is what 'Friends With Money' is all about. All I have to say is this is an amazing, real film, that captures the lives of women and men is a way that makes you unsure. So unsure that it is endearing, to know that your own life, and your own self aren't perfect. It brings realism home. Rent it on DVD, and see for yourself. A great independent film with an extraordinary cast; they all shine.

The Break-Up (2006)
10/10
Amazing and Real Top-Notch Romantic Comedy
3 June 2006
This movie is perfect for anyone, I went in expecting to a touching, hilarious movie, and I got exactly that. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn bring a realistic sense to a relationship that O think will appeal to many people. This movie does not follow the clichés of Hollywood, and it is original. Jennifer and Vince have such a chemistry you are crying with them, laughing with them, and rooting for both even though you are torn between who to 'pick' or go with. I believe in life men and women think differently, and they brought this out amazingly in the film. This movie made me laugh so hard, and touched my heart because it is so true. Do not listen to the critics, or the bad reviews, go see this movie because it is worth the money.

Loved it. I plan to see it again.

The Good Girl (2002)
10/10
Moving, Poignant; yet Comical. It's a hit
20 January 2006
Jennifer Aniston is the star of this Texas film, she plays a Texas store clerk Justine Last who is un sure of her life, and needs to find passion again because things just aren't happening with her pothead husband Phil. They have hit a dead end in their marriage. Phil deosn't realize that that smoking a joint hurts him, and the family they want to have.

When Aniston meets Holden is falls for his youth, and falls in love with him, throwing herself into an soon to be unwanted affair, with an added on pregnancy. I won't tell you anymore of a summary because there are already many out there.

This is an outstanding performance from Aniston, and shows what is can do; more then Rachel. It is a poignant performance, and is fresh and never seen before, Jennifer at her best**

Hilarious (Romantic) Comedy
20 January 2006
Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller star in this comedy along side a great supporting cast. This movie will make you pee your pants, and think "I am so glad I am not Rubean Feffer"

Aniston plays a free spirited Polly, or lives on the edge, or as Dinae Sawyer said in 2004 "lives life by slipping on a Banana peel" She is also not into commitment and Rubean is into long term marriage and the works.

Polly (Aniston) loves to dance The Salsa, where as Ben Stiller's Rubean is a very safe man, who takes everything into consideration before taking another step, when these two personalities collide, and unimaginable happens!! So funny all I can say is you have to see it.

Derailed (I) (2005)
10/10
The best thriller of the year.
20 January 2006
I was a little worried to see this film, because the interviews done on it had not been much, because they couldn't tell you much, or they would give a lot of the exciting story. But this is a sit straight up in your seat thriller, with surprising twists,and a good foreshadowing storyline. The author is very talented, as is the director.

The critics were harsh, because they felt/thought it was miscast, but DON"T LISTEN TO THEM. Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen both give wonderful performances, with a chemistry, and a flirtatious heat between them. Jennifer gives another great anti-Rachel performance and kicks of her shoes in a good find, this was a good move in her career, much like "The Good Girl "Rockstar" and "The Object of my Afeection" Jennifer is famous for comedy on "Friends" and can hit the drama.

I have always been a fan of Clive Owen, and with every episode of "Friends" I see and every Aniston film I see I becoming a fan of those too.

Definitely rent this one on DVD

Camp Cucamonga (1990 TV Movie)
8/10
A summer full of memories and fun!!
20 January 2006
I heard about this film known as "One of Jennifer Aniston's" firsts, and read some reviews that it was a good Camp movie for kids, and it was fun, cute, and like "Space balls" in the 80's. So after much consideration I decided, why not? and ordered it in on DVD at the store. It was worth $21

I watched it down in my room, and was amazed because this was one of the first films done in this fashion of summer fun, and tricks and romance. It had a very famous cast, and the now famous Jennifer Aniston from "Friends". She looked different( but hasn't aged much) and I liked how she played a safe young women, who wanted to do everything rigth in order to help her Dad.

Another known face in this flick was Cameron Candice from the 90's sitcom/show "Fullhouse". This movie is worth a view, very fun for a family movie night.

Sweet, funny, and I loved it!!
20 January 2006
This is one of Jennifer Aniston's first good films, that actually does her justice. She is not Rachel Greene from "Friends", she has some characteristics of that spoiled girl from long isle off the sitcom, but also has some added bitchiness, and overall sweetness too her.

The cast fits the film so well, and makes the movie what it is, I also loved how new and winding the storyline was. I laughed so hard in some parts, and was sitting up straight on my couch thinking "what else is this women (Aniston's character) going to get into?" in others. I won't leave a summary of the movie, because there are already good one's out there, or you could just look at the back on the movie/DVD case. This is a movie about a women basically using two men to get what she's wants, too make her life what she thinks will be "perfect" but she realizes that reality is much better.

In 2005 a new film much like this one came out called "The Wedding Date" and I was disappointed in it, because they stole "Picture Perfect's" storyline. I was pleased with this one, and you will be too.

I loved it!!
20 January 2006
I was talking to my friend, and she mentioned this movie, and said she loved it, and thought I would too. I was flipping through the TV guide when I saw it was on at 7:00pm I was so excited.

I watched it with my Dad of all people, and then my Mom thought it looked good so she joined in, she quipped "I have seen this before in theaters back in 1997, it was fabulous and sweet"

I think the exact same thing, I will not leave a summary of the film because so many others have, but I have to say this one was different for me. I have no problem with Gay homosexual men, and this movie pulled on my heart strings a couple times and made me cry. I was nervous at first to see Jennifer Aniston in this role, because what if she didn't pull it off, and I was disappointed?? Well I wasn't I was blown away by her dramatic, yet uplifting, and funny performance.

If you haven't yet seen this movie, it is a "must see". it is also worth owning on DVD

Funny and fabulous; yet emotional and heartbreaking
20 January 2006
Don't listen to the critics. What is wrong with movies being fun and entertaining?? people are getting too serious about the films they see. I myself love both drama and comedy; so this one was perfect, because it was both combined.

Jennifer Aniston was not miscast, because this is exactly the kind of movie Jennifer is famous for. I am always a little reluctant at first to see her films, because I think I am always going to see Rachel Greeene from "Friends 1994-2004 on the screen. But I loved this one, it was new and fresh; a different kind of romantic comedy told differently.

Jennifer also has been in many other "Non Rachel" movies such as "The Good Girl "Rockstar" "Derailed", and "The Object of my affection. In "Rumor Has It she is wonderful, and has some very very funny moments, Shirley is fabulous. I liked Kevin Cosnter personally, he was great and perfect for the role.

I laughed so hard during this film, and saw it 3 times in threatres. Rent it, or see it in threatres before its to late! I am definitely buying this one of DVD.
