Movie Review
Love happens. With Jennifer Aniston.
Don’t we all love Jennifer someway or rather? It’s been a few years since she became the TV hit actress from Friends, and Jennifer has moved from TV to film quite smoothly.
However, Jennifer doesn’t seem to grow much out that role of Rachel- and it shows once again in her movie. Sure, she can still charm the audience despite her age – with her wits and cute quizzical looks, but it would be cool to see much more than that. Maybe a role that is more dramatic.
But then again, one probable reason Jennifer is in this movie is how well she can act in such roles, with ease (or so it seems). The love story of a city girl going through some love obstacles… yes, you get the story altogether.
Overall, the movie is a good feel love story. And something that has some good teaching. All seems alrite with this movie though at some points it can be rather draggy (girls may not agree on this). The biggest setback: the ending is a little bit un-real, even for a Hollywood movie.
And though the fact that we’ve seen similar movies before may still not ruin this movie… but then not too long ago, we’ve had a better hit – Love Actually.
Conclusion & Ratings
6.5 stars, since it’s the Christmas mood season.
It’s a good thing the movie is being screened this time of the year, when hearts are opened to all things warm. the movies is something cosy enough for couples.
