Review of Management

Management (2008)
7/10
Pleasant surprise
9 February 2010
No, I'd never heard of it either, but decided to give it a chance. It starts a bit slowly. Once the two main characters meet, engage in some interesting, unpredictable non-sex, and some sex, they separate, and the question is: will she appreciate the few good qualities the lumpen night manager has, and get to know him? Or will she pursue her dry, empty career and/or marry her hideous boyfriend(Harrelson)? The performances are good and close to believable-with the possible exception of Woody Harrelson, whose character is not as well-written as Zahn's or Aniston's. He seems to serve as combination villain and comedy relief, like Long John Silver. Anyway, in spite of seeing J. Aniston's face everywhere, I think she can act, and she's convincing here.

Trivia: It's set in Kingman, Arizona, Aberdeen, Washington, and parts of Maryland, but filmed almost entirely in Oregon(Eastern=Arizona; western=everywhere else) except for some stock overhead footage of Baltimore.
