An average movie

Even though it has nothing to do with this movie, in 2016, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally split up. My wife was actually cheering as, from the very start, she was convinced that this couple would never last and she always believed that Jennifer Anniston was a much better choice. Well, I don’t agree with my wife and even though I have to admit that Anniston is really cute, in fact, she must be one of the most boring actress out there. The main problem I have with here is that,  even though she has been rather successful, 90% of the time, she just plays the same character who happens to be ‘the girlfriend of <insert famous actor>’. This movie was a fine example and, this time around, she was just playing ‘the girlfriend of Ben Stiller’. The worst thing was that, for this movie, she was actually playing the title character who was supposed to be some kind of ‘free-spirited’ woman but the squeaky clean Anniston was just not convincing whatsoever in this really boring comedy. It didn’t help that I never believed that these 2 characters really belonged with each other. In fact, the only thing I enjoyed was the late Philip Seymour Hoffman who was, as usual, pretty awesome in a rather small part. To conclude, even though this movie was quite successful at the box-office when it was released, it is in fact one of the weakest movies starring Anniston and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
