Summary: THIS IS THE BEST FILM EVER!
Review: Comedy, romance and a touch of real life is what makes this movie so touching and inspiaring to watch over and over again. With well known stars such as Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, just to name a few, this movie will touch you in some unbelivable ways. And the truth is the more you watch it the better it gets. Based on the novel written by Stephen McCauley this inspirational film about Love, Life and sexuallity will want you coming back to watch it over and over again. In other words, it is the best movie I have seen in a long, long time.

Summary: loved it
Review: I just finished watching this movie and I felt so happy. I loved it. It made me laugh, A LOT, and I cried when it was over. All of the relationships, and there are quite a few, were believable and interesting and I wish the movie were two hours longer. I was so taken with Jennifer Aniston, I had no idea she was such a good actress, she is incredibly appealing in this movie, and Paul Rudd is my new favorite actor, I've never even heard of him before, he has the most expressive beautiful eyes. The acting was so good I was just drawn in, anyway I'm no good at this movie review stuff, but I know when I've seen a really good movie. I'm so glad I saw this one, it made me feel good.

Summary: Affection But Not Adulation For This Film
Review: Unlike her previous outing "Picture Perfect" whose sole purpose was to vehicle Aniston's profile, this is a worthwhile film which gives her a proper chance to display her talents as an actress. It is just a shame that it is let down by a chunky script, far too much sentimentality and an attitude which takes itself far too seriously. This is very much an ensemble piece rather than something just for Aniston and both she and the other actors do well together producing a sensitive and meaningful film about those complicated things known as human relationships. Aniston's character lets her room out to recently dumped homosexual Paul Rudd partly to prevent her over-bearing boyfriend from seizing the opportunity to move in with her. The two quickly become the best of friends so when she falls pregnant and decides not to stay with the father she asks him to help her raise the child. Realising he'll probably never have such an opportunity again, Rudd accepts her proposal and starts looking forward to it. But then things start to get complicated when Aniston falls in love with him and he falls in love with another man. Sweet, well-meant stuff but not as good as it should be.

Summary: A Movie For Your Affection
Review: Combine great acting, humor and a storyline that has substance, and you have the Object of My Affection. Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd put it all together with such smooth, realistic performances, that the story of a young woman falling in love with her gay roomate is presented in a truly touching manner. There are complications, of course, giving a continuous interest from beginning to end. Jennifer Aniston performs as many great actresses have: she has such an effortless, natural aura that it hardly seems like she is acting. But there is so much behind those most expressive and hypnotic eyes. Looks like that are hard to find in Hollywood. Rudd reacts perfectly and adds much realism. You know why she falls in love with him. You feel that this situation and the complications could really happen and the script and actors make you believe it.

Summary: Unusual
Review: Unfortunately this film wasn't what I was expecting. Although Aniston and Rudd work well together and their friendship is touching, if you like a perfect happy ending to your film then don't watch this. Although the character portrayals were great the actual story left me feeling a little flat.

Summary: Sweet, Touching and Funny
Review: This is a "see it again and again" kind of movie. I loved Aniston and Rudd together. Their chemistry was contagious! Nina Barowsky (played by Aniston) is the gentle yet independent social worker living in a modest Brooklyn walk up who struggles with the deeper questions of love, despite her doting boyfriend who will now be the father of her baby. George (Rudd) is the homosexual nursery school teacher who moves in with Nina after his boyfriend rudely dumps him. The friendship that ensues between Nina and George is touching and engrossing. You will love watching them ballroom dance, share ice cream while talking about first loves, and eventually come to terms with the reality that maybe they feel a bit more for each other than platonic friendship. Ah, the possibilities of "WHAT IF's"..... And Ms. Aniston is blessed with a gift of having the most expressive eyes in Hollywood today. Her saucers will speak volumes even when she's just looking out a window. Alan Alda was great (and hilarious as always) as Nina's brother in law. He has such a natural humor about him that any line delivered will have a comedic twist to it. Watch especially in the kitchen scene when he's "hotter than a goat in China" and calling for a "real BIG doctor" during a medical emergency. Priceless comedy!

Review: I think this was the cutest romantic comedy I had ever seen. Jennifer and Paul work great together, even though they aren't the couple of the movie, I would still say it is totally adorable.

Summary: VERY VERY GOOD
Review: This bittersweet love story strikes many many truthful chords; the wonderful book by Stephen McCauley is somewhat diffused of its grit and twists with a strangely PC script by Wendy Wasserstein. Yet Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston generate a winning chemistry, and the entire supporting cast is uniformly superb. What I found most compelling in this movie, which is sprinkled with genuine humor, is the real-life dilemma young people find themselves in when they make choices without considering the forest through the trees. There are real emotionally charged situations explored here, and the fact that Rudd's character is gay is important, but his homosexuality is not the primary concern. I was definitely moved by this film, though I found the ending superfluous and silly; it seemed like a politically correct way to tie up loose strings.

Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: I thought this movie was supposed to be a romantic comedy. Wrong. I didn't laugh once and the only romance I saw was between Rudd and his boyfriend....not what I was expecting! Not that there's anything wrong with that (as Jerry Seinfeld would say), but it's just not the type of movie I would choose.
