Perfectly adorable

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

"Kate" (Jennifer Aniston) is a young, single and promising employee of an advertising company who is held back because the boss, "Mr. Mercer" (Kevin Dunn) doesn't believe that her current life situation is stable enough to keep her fully committed to working at the firm. So to counter that perception her best friend, "Darcy" (Illeana Douglas) convinces Mr. Mercer that she is engaged to a man by the name of "Nick" (Jay Mohr) even though Kate barely knows him. This immediately prompts Mr. Mercer to invite Kate and Nick to dinner in order to get to know him. To make matters even more complicated, the person she has a crush on named "Sam" (Kevin Bacon) is not interested in her at all—until he hears that she is engaged to Nick. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather tepid rom-com which suffered from predictability and a sparse amount of humor. That being said, I have rated this film accordingly. Average.

I got this movie because I'm a big Jennifer Aniston fan. I don't think she's the greatest actress in the world - she's more like a movie personality. And I like her. This film is a nice little, sort of romantic tale. Good characters, interesting story and plot. Fairly predictable ending. However, the entire movie did a complete and total FAILURE with the ending. While watching the movie and the couple slips behind the pillar in the church and everyone is listening, I turned to my girlfriend and said, "If they do this horrible thing where everyone realizes they are going to be and they start to clap, I'm going to puke" Sure enough, the did the worst possible thing. How many movies - An Officer and a Gentleman, Shallow Hal, just to name a couple off the top of my head, have you seen this stupid scene in? I mean seriously, you're at a wedding, two total strangers interrupt it, and as a person in the audience you hear them talking, the clap! Cripes, if i was a movie producer and someone showed me a script with this tired old old ending, I'd throw it back at them and yell "come back with something original" Other than the totally horrible final, it was a nice film.

While 1997's "Picture Perfect" wasn't Jennifer Aniston's first movie, it was her first starring role. She plays Kate, a talented ad executive in New York City who's passed up for promotion because her boss (Kevin Dunn) thinks she's not dependent enough on the company to be reliable in the long-term. In other words, she's single and doesn't own a home, etc. Her best friend (Illeana Douglas) encourages her to fake an engagement to a guy she barely knows from Boston, Nick (Jay Mohr), and then stage a break-up after she gets promoted. Meanwhile, Kevin Bacon lurks in the background as the office lothario.Jennifer proves that she has what it takes to carry a major film, no sweat; it's just that the movie in question is mediocre. Actually, I thought the first hour was quite amusing for a romcom, but after the big staged break-up it got dull as a certain character does some serious soul-searching. However, the cast is fine and I think "Picture Perfect" would be appreciated more by fans of 'chick flicks' and Aniston. Bacon is excellent as the bad boy, but Kate's just too good for him, literally. There is a good lesson at the end and I liked the boss' honest response to a certain person's confession.The film runs 105 minutes and was shot in New York City and nearby West Orange, New Jersey.GRADE: C

When they make movies what is their purpose? If movies were like hamburgers I could just send this movie back to the kitchen, say, " Hey, cook it this time and don't drop it on the floor. " Customer Service, it's important. I don't want to buy a f*cked up hamburger. Let's take a step back, get some perspective- impossible billions of years unfolded without our knowing to have the end result of us here and now on planet Earth, and we are still without knowledge, and also we made this movie. Each of us had a hand in it, we kissed Jennifer Aniston's ass and we told her she should be in a movie and she agreed, and now, all the people who have been born after this movie was made, part of them was made by this movie, part of the reason why they were born is because of this movie, I mean if you want to look at the whole totality of existence thing what with all possible matter and energy in the universe being interconnected and whatnot.
