How many movies can John C. Reilly be in this year? He is ubiquitous these days, which is good, because he's always a pleasure to watch and this film is no exception. Jennifer Aniston's performance is, of course, the one most talked about because she is not Rachel Green in this film (as she is in most every other film she appears). Here, she is blase and subdued, but not necessarily interesting or compelling. It's hard to categorize this film, but I guess it belongs more in the black comedy family than in drama. I was unmoved by the dramatic aspects of this, but there is a fair amount of wry humor that makes the movie worth seeing. Jennifer is such a treat for the eyes that I could watch her doing gardening videos, but even if you're not a fan, the movie is quirky and dry enough to be entertaining. Worth seeing.
