I saw two Jennifer Aniston movies this weekend:
1. The Break-Up. I liked it except for the ending. It's obvious the ending was a reshoot, it just didn't seem natural. On the DVD they have an Alternate Ending which clearly was the original ending that the test screenings shot down. I can't say the new ending is much better. Both Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are naturals in this role in the sense that I suspect they are somewhat playing themselves.
If I wasn't watching the movie with my wife and sister I would have played back the Aniston bare ass scene. Ever since, I've been wondering if it's really her or a double. Actually I think I'll look that up right now... Okay, just looked it up. It's all her. Now I really wish I had given it a second look.
2. Friends With Money. This movie was the complete opposite. What a pile of crap. It's not that I don't like chick movies because there are several that I do like and it's not that the movie went over my head - no movie has ever gone over my head. It's just crap. Aniston was completely unconvincing. The comedy was weak. The various threads were often left open and unresolved and Joan Cusack was her usual annoying self. I can't stand the way her face moves when she talks. Maybe it's just me.
