Romantici equivoci

Picture Perfect is my favourite Jennifer Aniston movie. Of course, we all know her as "Rachel from Friends" and that's probably the way it will always be. The same with the rest of the Friends cast. (There's absolutely nothing wrong with that though. Friends is the BEST.) I guess, that's why she's been type-casted for the last few years and why most of her films are of a romantic-comedy nature. Still, even though not many of them do very well on release, (That will change soon though.) she still does a good job in all of them, including this one.

Picture Perfect is about Kate, (Jennifer Aniston.) a woman who really can't find love. She does fancy her work colleague Sam, (Kevin Bacon.) but he doesn't really seem interested in her, as she is with him. One day Kate is at a friends wedding and she meets Nick (Jay Mohr.) who is there to film the wedding. They have a chat, have there picture taken together and that's about it. Until, one day at work, Kate's friend Darcy, (Illeana Douglas.) tells everyone that Kate is engaged to Nick, so Kate can get promoted at her work. Everyone obviously believes it, so now it's up to Kate to ask Nick, if he can pretend to be her fiance, for a while and then later on in the 'relationship' they will have a break up in front of everyone . Nick agrees to do this. The only thing is Nick ends up falling for Kate and whilst Kate is 'seeing him,' she ends up sleeping with the guy she fancied in the first place, Sam. He seems to want her now, she's with someone.

The story in the movie is a little unbelievable, but so what, it's a just a movie and it's a very enjoyable one too. It has one of those stories, where you can guess what's going to happen at the end straight away. Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr are all great here too. So, if you fancy seeing a romantic comedy (If you've already seen, classic movies like, Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail, etc.) then Picture Picture is the one for you. I rate Picture Perfect an 8/10.

Picture perfect is the kind of movie that can be watched no matter what mood or frame of mind you happen to be in. Many movies hold the problem that the viewer has to be in a certain mood to enjoy the film and get the most out of it - in this case, this does not apply. You simply have to put aside the serious side of your life for an hour and half and join the characters in a charming story of love, life and success!

Jennifer Aniston puts in a convincing performance as the independent and determined Kate Mosley, and Jay Mohr plays the sweet and lovable Nick. Both of these stars fit perfectly into this movie and truly bring it to life.

I received this movie as a gift from a friend and after the first time I saw it I was hooked... I have now seen it many, many times and it still captures my imagination and my heart.

Contrary to popular belief - you don't have to be a slushy romantic at heart or even a Jennifer Aniston fan to enjoy this movie. With that in mind I strongly recommend Picture Perfect to anyone and everyone!

So this film made me cry - but when you consider that I cried when the villain died in 'Beauty & The Beast', this is no great feat.

For a 'romantic comedy', this film is almost dramatically unfunny. I barely even sniggered. But I still liked it - this is possibly due to the fact I'm a sucker for romance (and awwwww Jay Mohr's character is soooo sweet!) and I like Jennifer Aniston (but what is going on with her clothes and make-up in this film?!). The acting is pretty solid, with all the cast quite likable, but hmmmm... plot-wise - well, where was it really?! And as for the ending!

After all that build-up, it is such an anti-climax!

Still, it's one of those films that's hard to dislike with any real vigour because there's so little to it. Instantly forgettable, yet sweet all the same.

Jennifer Aniston appears to have quite successfully lost the friends tag with this film, and pulls off a successful performance opposite Kevin Bacon's cool support. Amusing and contrived, but before you know it you'll be enjoying it.

This is yet another romantic comedy that wants to get by on charm rather than anything genuinely funny or romantic, but surprisingly, for the most part, it does. Part of that is due to the fact that everyone in the cast is likable, particularly Jennifer Anniston, who I'm not a big fan of, and Jay Mohr, who I like but aside from JERRY MAGUIRE haven't seen much of. Also, director Glenn Gordon Caron may be working with an outrageous concept, as most romantic comedies these days do, but he tries to keep it grounded, which is nice. I'd recommend it more except I hated the ending; not for who she ends up with, but how.
