Will the real Jennifer Aniston please stand up?
The Good Girl is the kind of movie that doesn't get made often enough, yet given the crap that fills the shelves of the video rental stores, it's amazing that these films get made at all. The actress we know as Jennifer Aniston, who must be an entirely separate yet physically identical person to the Jennifer Aniston on Friends, reappears in a story about boredom and loneliness, and the things people do when they become desperate. It would be unfair to compare it to the films of the Coen Brothers, but some of the same feelings are stirred here as in The Man Who Wasn't There and in the more thoughtful moments of Raising Arizona. I swear, though, if I see John C. Reilly play another cuckolded husband I'm turning off the tube. (Tim Blake Nelson was fabulous as best bud Bubba, though.)
