Picture Perfect

I read a little bit of the review for this film, and it did sound like something I might like, and I had my predictions of how the plot would go, so I gave it a shot. Basically at Mercer Advertising, single Kate Mosley (Jennifer Aniston) is trying to build up to a better career at the company, and even when suggesting a great and chosen idea for a campaign, isn't promoted. Then she finds a way to get the promotion she wants, when people see her in a photo with some guy at a wedding party, she never corrects anyone about being engaged to him. Kate's new and better career seems to be going great, and she is spending her money on lots of luxury and convenience, she even manages to bed her crush, Sam Mayfair (Kevin Bacon). But then her boss Mr. Mercer (Kevin Dunn) wants to meet the guy, Nick (Jay Mohr),and he manages to track him down, and pays him to go along with her plan to have dinner and meet everyone, and quickly break up. He is willing to go along with the plan at first, but it is obvious the few days before it happens, he develops real affection for her, and she is forced into making the break-up happen. Obviously they get back together again before he has to go away, but as is predictable, in the end she goes to a wedding he is filming, expresses her (real) feelings for him, and they have their happy ending hug and kiss. Also starring Steel Magnolias' Olympia Dukakis as Rita Mosley, Cape Fear's Illeana Douglas as Darcy O'Neil, Anne Twomey as Sela and Faith Prince as Mrs. Mercer. The story may be predictable mostly, and even on the preposterous side, but Aniston (in her days of Friends' success) is likable, and it is a good-natured romantic comedy. Worth watching!

Picture this

Glenn Gordon Caron has good form with romantic comedy caper type films as creator of the television series, Moonlighting. In Picture Perfect Jennifer Aniston is Kate working in an ad agency with a thing for work colleague Kevin Bacon, who only goes out for women with commitments such as being married in order to avoid commitments himself.

One day Kate's friend tells everyone at the office that Kate is engaged to Jay Mohr in order to get promotion at work. Jay is a photographer she met earlier at a wedding and now she needs to convince him to pretend to be her fiancé.

Over time Jay falls for her although once she is seen to be attached Kevin Bacon finally makes a mover for her.

There is a horrible odour of deceit in the plotting of this film. Both Bacon and Aniston play nasty, self centred people with only Jay Mohr playing a decent character and he is the only one who uplifts the film thanks to the actors subtle and sincere performance.

bland rom-com

Kate Mosley (Jennifer Aniston) is 28 year old working single girl. Darcy (Illeanna Douglas) is her best gal pal and boss. Sam (Kevin Bacon) is a sleazy co-worker who thinks she's too nice to date. She comes up with a pitch for the new big account but she gets left off the team. Her mom Rita (Olympia Dukakis) is itching for grandkids. She meets videographer Nick (Jay Mohr) working at her friend's wedding. The firm's boss Mercer (Kevin Dunn) thinks she's not settled enough so Darcy makes up a lie about Kate and Nick. Mercer gives her a promotion. Sam starts looking at her differently. Kate has to make up all kinds of lies about Nick. Nick becomes a big hero and Kate needs him for to help cover for her lies.

None of the jokes work well if one can call any of them actual jokes. Aniston is charismatic enough for the single gal rom-com. The story is rather bland. There is no snap in the dialog. There is nothing terribly wrong with this movie other than that there is nothing terribly interesting here. Director Glenn Gordon Caron has given very little and seems to be relying on Aniston's charms. She's not good enough to carry this whole movie without any help. The other problem is that she and Jay don't spend a lot of quality time together until 42 minutes. The chemistry doesn't get developed enough. The good news is that they seem like a perfectly likable couple but that's not enough.
