Review of The Object of My Affection

I find this film difficult to rate, it has many good things, but follows with many flaws. The acting was spot on for Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, they brought life and pure heart to the characters they portrayed, they also had great chemistry together. It was fascinating to watch this intertwined love story of how certain people bring you down and other complete you. The writer did a great job with showing the complexity of where the line is drawn at friendship and where it has gone to far. They also showed the gay aspect in a tasteful and understanding way. The biggest flaw of the movie, is that its exhausting to watch. The film is long and your slightly tortured as the characters are being tortured themselves with trying to find who they belong with. But the film does have a satisfying ending. If your a big fan of romance movies, I'd defiantly add this one to the list. It's a forgotten gem in the rough.
