An average Aniston Rom-Com. Not her best or her worst. It's ok but I have watched a few of her more recent films lately that I thought were better or funnier at least.
Jennifer Aniston,
Jay Mohr,
Kevin Bacon,
Olympia Dukakis,

Aniston's acting in this was was average at best. I didn't really like her character that much and it bothered me that she said she was "the nice girl" even though she's actually not. There were some pretty funny moments but many scenes were just annoying. The only reason I saw ... read more

Saddeningly this is the only Quality Jennifer Aniston film. It was alot better than I expected with Touching Romance and Heartbreaking comedy!

It was cute, but not great. I love Aniston, Bacon, and Dukakis, but the movie itself was kinda just blah.

A fairly innocent romantic comedy. Jennifer Aniston shows that she can carry a leading role.
Critic Reviews
Aniston doesn't need dialogue to catch Kate's quicksilver moods. It's the sitcom lines, at the service of a contrived plot, that choke her.
Insubstantial and oversweet, it still refreshes as a midsummer brain cooler.
Aniston comes across like an imitation of a movie star instead of the real thing. She gets less attractive as the film goes on. Full Review
It's a shame the plot is so contrived, because parts of this movie are really pretty good. Full Review
What Picture Perfect sells as romance is a junior high school health class morality lecture we all got years ago. And it was a crock then, too. Full Review
There are times when a bad ending doesn't seriously damage a motion picture. This is not one of those. Full Review
[Aniston] has the rare gift of getting you to root for her in the most trying of circumstances, a quality that will stand her in good stead when she progresses to better material. Full Review
enjoyable fluff
Sure, the movie follows a basic romantic comedy formula, but it has a freshness about it, mainly because Aniston and Mohr make a sweet match. Full Review
