Summary: 'Good' to the last scene
Review: 'When you're a kid, you view life like a candy store.'One could think of this movie as a candy store, with it's various asthetic delights. The scenary, the actors, the script. Let us not dwell on the magnificent display of talent Jennifer Aniston has in The Good Girl, with her slow way of speaking, her schlumpy body posture, her every being resonating the hopelessness her character, Justine, feels. It's Oscar worthy and the Academy made a huge mistake. But let us focus instead on the stellar cast that are just pitch-perfect to every line of Mike White's screenplay. They round out the story perfectly, paralleling Justine's transformation to quiet brooding housewife/cashier to adultress. The movie is also filmed beautifully, with vibrant scenes shifting throughout the various seasons, also mirroring the shift of Justine's character and integrity. It's like Phil( Justine's husband)'s line. "The wind. It's blowing different." Justine undergoes a radical change in character, making poor choices and being anything but good. But at the core, she is 'the good girl'..she does what is right. What is expected. 'The Good Girl' is at best, a dark comedy that deftly drives the idea home that the choices we make are everlasting, and they affect everyone around us.

Summary: Can she relate to that lifestyle?
Review: At first, I wondered how someone so loaded with cash and with everything going for her thought she could authentically recreate the daily experiences of the disenchanted commoner.
Well, Jennifer did a surprisingly good job. It represented fairly well the drab and bleak existence of those of us with useless jobs and not much to look forward to, which is crucial because it would be an insult to do otherwise.
I can personally relate to "Holden", and Jake pulled that character off fabulously. He was just so apathetic and misanthropic, it was great. Notice how his last name, Werther, is taken from the German tragedy "The Sorrows of Young Werther" (pronounced vair-tair) by Goethe, which this film could almost--but not quite--pass as an adaptation of. The end is directly lifted from that tale, at least the end as far as jake's character goes.
Of course, like any other red-blooded American male, I was primarily interested in Jennifer's first sex scene. Bravo to her for going for it, but of course the lack of any distinct nudity is cause for lament.
Ultimately the film was a great vehicle for Jennifer to show her stuff (talents, I mean) and she definitely steals the show. Very entertaining, but certainly not the "comedy" that it is mysteriously being sold as.

Summary: Loved the Character Cheryl
Review: I wish they would have made a movie about Cheryl (Zooey Deschanel). Her character MADE the movie. Watch the movie and you will see what I mean.

Summary: Surprisingly Good
Review: Everyone I talked to who had seen this movie didn't like it very much, but I like Jennifer Aniston, and it was on cable so I decided to watch it. It's about a 30 year old woman who hates her life, her job, and her husband; she has a fling with a 22 year old she works with who hates his life even more than she does.
This movie is mainly a drama, but it also has some funny parts. The characters are pretty believable, and one can relate to them, especially Justine (Aniston's character). I also like this movie because it is so different than what we are use to seeing Jennifer Aniston do. I enjoyed it.

Summary: very good
Review: I really enjoyed this film. I thought Jennifer Aniston did a great job, and it was a treat to see her playing something so different from the role on Friends that's made her famous. This film brilliantly captured the helplessness of being trapped in a life you don't want. The only complaint I have is that on the DVD, the commentary for the deleted scenes is almost non-existent and what little there is is hard to understand.

Summary: Wow, magnicently brilliant
Review: If you're deaf, dumb and blind. This was one movie that didn't seem to even have a plot. I watched over an hour of the movie and it still wasn't going anywhere. Great acting, have to give it that, but it didn't have much else. Here: Plot: 0.5/5 There wasn't one
Acting: 5/5 I loved the accents, great. No problem with the castings here. Characters: 2/5 Weren't developped at all, simple and boring. Cheapness: NA didn't see the whole thing, so I don't know how it ends, and personally, I don't care. Horrible movie, maybe rent it, but I'm still fussing over spending [money] for a movie like that.

Summary: A different review
Review: I bought this dvd after reading all the reviews on this site and on other sites saying that this is such a great movie. i watched this movie and thought it was one of the worst movies i had seen and could not believe that i had wasted so much money on it and so many people gave it such a good review. It was meant to be a comedy and i could not see anything that was close to commical in this movie. The most funny thing about this movie is how crap it was.

Summary: The Good Girl
Review: Jake Gyllenhaal, John C. Reilly and Tim Blake Nelson shine in this film, but Jennifer Aniston steals the show. She gives a raw and powerful performance. The film radiates with snappy dialouge and sometimes humorous situations. Jennifer Aniston shows that she deserves to be in this business. Stepping away from her dipsy blonde role on T.V.'s "Friends", Aniston plays a bored, working class wife, trapped in a seemingly endless job and in a small town. She also tire of her pot-head, physically abusing husband Phil (Reilly). Not until one day she meets a young man at her job by the name of Holden (Gyllenhaal). They find romance, and soon after are caught by Phil's best friend Bubba (Nelson), the concequences could be deadly.
