Top marks for Jennifer Aniston

I love Jennifer Aniston from Friends where of course we all know her as Rachel. But I think I loved this film even more, Jennifer Aniston is amazing in this serious role, and all the other actors are great too. Jake Gyllenhaal does his dark, confussed teenager thing to far greater effect than in Donny Darko, since this film has a real plot. The story is dark, tragic and touching. It deals with stuff that you can really relate to, i.e. do we take the boring, safe, 'good girl' route or the exciting, new yet dangerous one?

This film keeps you watching until the end and is very moving and satisfying. Top marks to Jennifer Aniston for breaking the Rachel mold, top marks to the film makers for giving her such a wonderful lead role. Better than Bruce Almighty which of course is just a Jim Carey flick. I'll be interested to see her next film Along came Polly.
