Thanks for the memories!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The Good GirlPitching it up for around 90 minutes; the track is short and the pace is on, resulting onto an entertaining experience but is it satisfying? Well that's a question one will take it to its grave for there is too much going on to digest and accept even if it is barred within logic and genuine reasoning. Miguel Arteta doesn't quite gets the depiction right which leads to the most confused experience ever for on the other hand Mike White's screenplay is fast and gripping. On performance level, there isn't much to complaint from Jennifer Aniston, John C. Reilly and Jake Gyllenhaal but there surely isn't anything inspiring or impressive too. The Good Girl lacks a character development and a better projection of it and due to this the reasoning; no matter how much circumstantial and concrete, the feature just doesn't fit for it doesn't help connecting the audience to them.

Wow!!!!! I'm shocked to see people calling "Cake" her only good and Oscar worthy performance.This movie was beautiful. Jake Gyllenhaal was very good as well. I read "The Catcher in the Rye" before watching this movie in order to be able to absolutely feel it, for I am an Aniston fan and also read some good reviews about this movie; and man that was a good decision. Any of us would feel separated from the world and everyone close to us from time to time; I guess Justine was one of us. An ordinary person with an ordinary boredom of life, so when she met Holden, well he was right for that short time, before she got pregnant and felt kinda alright again like many of us do, when slight changes happens in our lives. Holden, on the other hand, I don't think he would have ever been happy even if she had left with him and eventually all that anger and loneliness would have burst out one way or the other.Now Jennifer did a swell job here, and I know this movie came out when she was still doing Friends alongside loads and loads of romantic comedies, so it's even more underrated and especially when Renée Zellweger got so much attention for that not-so-bright comedy "Bridget Jones".Approach this with cautious, this is Not a typical Aniston comedy. Heck it's not even a comedy, just pitch black.

The Good Girl was a movie I just happened on. After watching it, I took Jennier Aniston completely seriously as an actress. This movie goes beyond what I had expected from it. There are a few reviews that claim she was evil and despicable by doing what she did - but I find her to be realistic. She wanted to escape her monotonous life, wanted to make something, and wanted to dream. Holden represented this unhinged dream. She hated everything in her life, and so did he. But the two, unfortunately for both, had different limits. His passion was boundless, with large ideas that he could likely never achieve. Her passion was a dream, and became far too real as she began to live it out. I found every single choice made by her in the film to be a realistic one. I believe I see myself in her character a lot, and that might be why I love the movie so much. She was willing to sacrifice a lot to hold onto her dream while she could, but when things became too real, she backed out, realizing she prefers the comfort of the monotony over the 'wilderness' that was Holden. Loved it!

I didn't really know anything about the concept for this independent film, I think it was the cast that was appealing to me. Basically young married Justine Last (Jennifer Aniston) has her her mundane life taking a turn when she begins a passionate and illicit affair with fellow discount store worker Holden Worther (Jake Gyllenhaal). She has said to herself she hates living with husband Phil (John C. Reilly) and his friend Bubba (Tim Blake Nelson) who constantly get high and drunk. Things get complicated when Justine has to deal with the death of co-worker and friend Gwen Jackson (American Pie: The Wedding's Deborah Rush), and Holden starts drinking and stealing because of the lack of seeing Justine. Also Bubba finds out about the affair and blackmails her into sex, and Justine gets pregnant, and with the reveal of a low sperm count, Phil has the truth told too. In the end, Holden commits suicide, and Justine accepts living her life with Phil and the new baby girl. Also starring Elf's Zooey Deschanel as Cheryl, Mike White as Corny and Volcano's John Carroll Lynch as Your Store Manager Jack Field. Aniston does surprisingly well in this quite serious role, and the supporting cast, especially Deschanel, all make the characters much more likable than possible the story, which is does seem more dramatic than comedic, but a good film nonetheless. Worth watching!
