Summary: This film gives you a great big affectionate hug!
Review: I enjoyed this movie so much and made it a part of my video collection. I was especially moved by the tender relationship of George Hanson and Nina Borowski. I really wanted George and Nina to end up together. I found their friendship much more appealing. I think that the George/Paul relationship could have been further developed...it was so flat and lacked any kind of emotional depth.

Paul Rudd is wonderful as George Hanson. Why is Rudd not cast in more leading roles? He's a fine actor with a brilliant soul that shines through...and the camera, as well as the audience, loves it. The film industry should do itself and Paul Rudd a favor and utilize this beautiful man's talent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 90's Love Story
Review: This movie is really great, the acting is superb, especially Jennifer Aniston---she showed us that she can be more than just Rachel on Friends. It is a real contemporary love story about Nina, who asks a young gay teacher to move in with her after just meeting him at a dinner party. What we find, is that over a year of being roommates, Nina falls for George and when she gets pregnant by her controlling boyfriend, she decides she wants to raise the baby with George. It is a great storyline with a very touching ending. I read the book based on this movie, the book was based on George's point of view and so it was great to see Nina's side of the story. If you want a touching and unique love story, rent or even better, purchase The Object of My Affection, and while you're at it, read the book, is a great book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unrequited Love
Review: I liked this movie. Any person who has ever suffered from unrequited love has to relate to the character of Nina. I thought the acting was superb too, especially Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. The more I see of Aniston, the more I realize that she is a very, very good actress. She has a great expressive face, making the viewer feel every emotion with her. She and Rudd have great chemistry, and I'd like to see them work together again. Their brief love scene was...well, WOW! Nigel Hawthorne (The Madness of King George) was also terrific. The man should be arrested for scene stealing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the Best !!!
Review: This is simply the best film I have ever seen. I was drawn to it as I am a huge fan of FRIENDS and am always interested in the cast member's films but my love for it goes much further than that. Aniston and Rudd are superb and managed to give a tear-jerking performance throughout and the other cast members are also excellant. The thing that struck me most is that it is not a typical love story, girl does NOT get boy in the end, yet there is wonderful,feel good happy ending! This film is funny, thought provoking, tear jerking ,complex , beautifully written and extremely well acted - I love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not funny
Review: I don't see how people can see this as a comedy. Its really quite an excellent drama and a complex one at that. A grade above your average "Titanic" love story. And a special award should be given to Nigel Hawthorn who creates a heart breaking three dimensional character despite the small screen time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a touching adaption
Review: This is a generally good adaption from the novel of the same name, which came out in the 1980s. The film is a genuine, underrated outing that becomes better after consecutive viewings. Jennifer Aniston really extends beyond her "Friends" role into something fluid and believable. Paul Rudd is downright lucid and amazing. However, Nicholas Hawthorne delivers the most amazing, understated performance in a film that tries to be everything for everyone.

Wasserstein'script works up to a point, and I would have liked to have seen what would've happened if she had not tried to make everything so correct and balanced in the screenplay.

Otherwise, this is a fine adaption. Likable and sweet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most realistic depiction of gay-straight relationships....
Review: that I have ever seen. I feel qualified to comment, as the straight woman roommate/best friend of a gay man myself. Everyone's story is unique, but this movie hits on real life feelings, situations and quirks. References to Fire Island, and such make it all the more realistic :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So lovely...
Review: This is just the most beautiful movie in the world! Jennifer and Paul were great! The end of the weddingscene was the best I've ever seen, Jennifer made it so real. It toke me almost a year to get it on a video here in Sweden, but it was worth the wait, now I've seen it at least a hundred times, and would recommend it to everyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST
Review: The best film. I can't say no more. the most romantic, funny and beautifull. I don't know why I can't buy it in my country. I would like to see it every day.
