Jennifer Aniston again tries to escape her Friends persona in this uneven romantic comedy directed, rather surprisingly, by The Madness of King George's Nicholas Hytner. When Aniston finds out she's pregnant by her oafish ex-boyfriend she asks her gay friend Paul Rudd to help her bring up the child. As expected, she falls in love with him, but the resulting mess it makes of both their lives is sad rather than romantically humorous, while the ending is contrived and unbelievable. It's well meaning, with some nice performances by co-stars Alan Alda and Nigel Hawthorne, but ultimately unsatisfying.

Another contemporary American take on relationships, which seems predicated on a dislike of sexual activities, insisting that a homosexual man is a woman's best friend.

Like A Hollow Cake...
...this movie was sweet, but with little substance.
In a truly shocking move, Jennifer Aniston once again stretches those acting wings to play a harmless, oh-so-sweet social worker who talks candidly to 13 year olds about sex.
When she moves in with a post-break up gay man (Paul Rudd), the two fast become best friends, and the constant question of 'could there be more?' is blown out of your mind by the presence of occasional boyfriend, Ira from 'Mad About You'.
When Aniston falls pregnant (not by Rudd) things start to go wrong for the two. Rudd falls in love, and Aniston falls in love with Rudd. Or something like that. Either way, they have to address some questions. Will the two end up together? Or will they walk their seperate paths?
Its not a bad movie, indeed, its very sweet. Its just there ain't a whole lot there. -

Easyview film for a girl/gay guy with a glass of wine.
No major storylines, No outstanding acting, but all in all a great easy to watch chick flick. I watched it whilst chilling out on a monday night with a glass of wine. If you expect a huge blockbuster you'll be disapointed, if you expect what I've described it will give the awwhh!
