Davis P The Object of my affection is truly a very moving and emotional movie that is a great time to watch. It really showcases Jennifer Aniston's great range, going from Rachel in friends to Nina in this film, she really handles the dramatic scenes very well, and so does Paul Rudd. Paul and Jennifer have really awesome chemistry on screen together too, they work so well. And Allison Janney and Alan Alda were both good and they acted well. The Characters and the script all mesh and work together so well in this movie, it's really very impressive! I absolutely loved the friendship and relationship between Nina and George here, it was so sweet and unique, and ya know they really treated gay people very well in this film, they didn't stereotype or anything, they represented them with healthy living relationships, like they are in reality, so that was great too. All around this is a very well made and smart movie! 8/10.

SnoopyStyle Nina Borowski (Jennifer Aniston) counsels at risk girls. George Hanson (Paul Rudd) teaches little kids. His boyfriend Dr. Robert Joley (Tim Daly) dumps him and he moves in with Nina. They would make for the perfect couple if he isn't gay. Nina has an overbearing boyfriend Vince McBride (John Pankow). Everybody continually keeps trying to fix them up with people despite their resistance. When Nina gets pregnant, Vince gets on her nerves, and they break up.There is some edgy possibilities here. The problem is that it's handled like a sitcom. Paul Rudd is gay but he's barely allowed to kiss a guy for most of the movie. He does some naked spooning late in the movie but it's not anything more than PG-13. Apparently, the movie gets R for just talking about it so why be so tame? It's trying to be a subversive rom-com. The only thing subversed is this movie. This might as well be a straight up rom-com with the meek silently-pining best friend. That would be better. At least, it doesn't promise to be more than a bland conventional rom-com. Quite frankly, the movie plays it that way most of the time. Aniston and Rudd have good possible straight chemistry. Maybe he should have said bi because he doesn't really sell gay.

mary-179-677383 Nina played by Jennifer Aniston invites a gay man (George) into her house to be her room mate, first sign her relationship with her bf (Vince) is going south is she doesn't invite him to move in.Nina soon falls pregnant and then decides to move in with Vince. However Nina gets frustrated when Vince makes some comments about trophys given in schools. I found the reaction or the script was just unbelievable. The character Nina is so shallow that she can not have a difference of opinion or respect other peoples opinions that she needs to react in a way as if Vince was abusing her.Nina then falls in love with George. The concept of a straight women falling in love with a gay man, the absurdity that she believes a relationship should work. Sure, some woman might be able to relate, but others with brain cells know and understand the stupidity of the concept.The film is a complete fantasy with little to none humour. I don't recall actually laughing once.Don't waste your time.

grimpidgeon Just another Rachel character for me and I never did like her. I found there was no depth or sense of reality in the whole set up between Nina and George. The man's gay ~ get over it. Nina's character really irritated me, because this was all about her notions of an ideal relationship. (yep, so you pick a gay man, really!). The whole thing was unrealistic from start to beginning. She finds herself pregnant, and decides the ideal situation would be to raise it with a gay man. I felt she passively aggressively railroad George into 'setting up home' with her. Who was she trying to kid, certainly not me. Do you really have to complete ten lines, to get your views across ~ am I the only one who finds it difficult to say anymore about this film than what I've said already.OK rant over.
