Sarah Jessica Parker And An Under Used Jennifer Aniston Are The Only Bright Spots In Dull Affair
11 December 2014
WOW that was two long hours, if it were not for the awful "The Switch" this would be the worst movie in Jennifer Aniston's post "Friends" filmography. Not that any of the movies problems are her fault. She is actually blameless, as she is very good in her five or six scenes. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker as a former child star, she is the best thing in the movie.

No the blame for this movie lands firmly on the door stop of a bland Jeanne Tripplehorn (who I loved in "Waterworld" and "Basic Instinct") a dull Dylan McDermott, whoever was in charge of casting those two and finally the director Scott Winant.

I normally write a plot in a paragraph for each review, here it does not need a full paragraph.

Two single strangers keep almost meeting over the years, will they ever meet and fall in love?

I've just realised the movie was only on for one hour and forty four minutes. It felt a hell of a lot longer!! In fact my interest only perked up when Jen Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker were on screen. Whoever though Jeanne Tripplehorn would make an interesting romantic lead were very wrong as I simply didn't care about her character and Dylan McDermott is dull and lifeless I did not care if they got together or not!! I was more interested in the problems in Aniston's characters seemingly perfect marriage.
