Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: People who complain about how "unsatisfying" this movie is TRULY DON'T GET IT. It's not about the happy ending, per se. It's really about how complicated human emotions can get, and how they can be beautiful and painful at the same time.

This movie also explores the boundaries of love--it can go beyond sexual orientation and outside situations. These two characters truly love each other, but the real world intervenes.

Truly a touching and beautiful movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Repetitious servings of fairy floss & syrup.Sickly.
Review: I enjoyed "Sleepless" so I can be a romantic but the story of a tiresome female who knows so little about "gays" that she thinks she can swing him into "hetro mode" by using one pathetic ploy after another, must be a story for "Spice Girls" aged fans at the very best. Talk about wanting your money back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it! My favorite movie so far!
Review: Like one of the other reviews of this movie, it's like someone took a slice of my life and made a movie from it. I only wish that the ones of us in this real-life situation could be as strong and forward moving as 'Nina' was. It was a great movie and I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I don't get why everyone seems to like this movie.
Review: Am I the only one who thought this movie was awful? Although Aniston and Rudd are quite likable, even they could not save this contrived and insipid film. Not only that, but it was also BORING. I went to see this movie when my friends told me how great it was, but I was very disappointed. Please, won't someone out there agree with me that this movie sucked?...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Story of my Life!
Review: This is a GREAT movie. When I first saw it, I was blown away. Now...after seeing it about 5 times, and in the recent months finding out that the person I was in love with (and still am) is gay, this movie really speaks to my heart. Rudd and Aniston are excellent and SO believable in this funny, but soul-searching romantic comedy. I have already recommended this movie to my friends and I hope that YOU watch it too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly and pleasantly subversive!
Review: For those who want their gays flaming and loud, go back to "The Birdcage"--"Object of My Affection" is not for you. If you want complex character and plot development, this movie is for you. Perhaps the only flaw is that there are so many characters and conflicts (not just sexuality but gender, race, and class as well), the movie is painted in broad strokes. But the movie doesn't slam you over the head with caricatures and stereotypes or a pat ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A superb film! Don't miss it!
Review: This is a wonderful film! I went in thinking it would not live up to the book, but it was better than the book. I've never really liked Jennifer Aniston that much, but she was brilliant in the role. Aniston and Rudd have great chemistry. An emotional tour-de-force!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: realism
Review: It's about time that there's a movie that can reach a general audience with a gay theme. Unlike the movie 'In & Out', 'Object' attempts to show a gay character who portrays gay men in a more realistic light. Although there are definitley concessions made in the movie's editing that create a more mainstream appeal, the movie still works. Hopefully this movie is a sign of good things to come from a more open and tolerant hollywood.

The movie itself succeeds on the great performance of Jennifer Aniston. Although it's hard to shake the 'Friends' persona, Aniston wins the audience over. Paul Rudd and the rest of the cast do a good job, but it is Aniston that steals the show. Thank you for the great film!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you have high expectations of the movie, don't watch it!
Review: This movie was horrible! The story line was all wrong and expected. The woman put herself in a nasty situation and expects to change other's lives for her own benefit. She was too selfish and it got tiring to watch. This movie made you leave the theater feeling very disappointed. I highly recommend that nobody see this flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just brilliant......Aniston and Rudd are just perfect!
Review: As soon as I saw this movie I rewound it and saw it again. Why? Its a wonderful film, emotional and endearing. I found Nina's dumping of Vinnie a bit harsh after discovering that George really wanted to handle the responsibility of bringing up her baby with her....she just rid of him like she was taking out the garbage and that hit me as being a sore point.Anyway.... I also kept my eyes on Paul Rudd. What a BABE!!!! He'll go very far. He shone in CLUELESS, and he does an extremely good job in this film.
