The Object of My Affection

Amazon.com

In this ultra-hip, multilayered comedy, triangles and emotional imbroglios take on a new meaning. Well, at least they try. Jennifer Aniston plays a straight woman who falls in love with a gay man (Paul Rudd). She invites him to move in with her just hours after they meet. As their friendship progresses, she learns she is pregnant, and wants Rudd to act as daddy to her newborn, much to the consternation of her overbearing boyfriend (John Pankow).

The film takes itself too seriously, although there is some genuine emotion buried in Wendy Wasserstein's clunky script. It is not that the relationships are unbelievable; it is that the story lurches forward from one stilted setup to another. And unfortunately, characters are motivated by unknown forces to take on major life changes without explanation. More fortunate are two very likable performances by Rudd, who wisely plays this without cute, homosexual tics, and a most perky and appealing Aniston. Supporting actor Nigel Hawthorne walks away with the film as a gay drama critic who imparts a few important life lessons as he learns one of his own. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Love this movie.......2007-06-03

I love the movie because it has Paul Rudd, who is the leading gay character. Jenifer Anniston is good too. If you like Jennifer movies you will love this one as well. Although she doean't get to be with George (the gay character), there is a really sweet scene where she comes on to him but they don't end up going through with it since his ex calls in the middle of it.

I like the way that Paul Rudd plays in it and I am getting the DVD of it because of him and not as much her.

WOW!!!!.......2006-10-10

THIS IS THE BEST FILM EVER!!!!!!
The Object Of My Affection is my favourite film, it sensitively conveys the emotions of two people in love, knowing nothing could ever happen between them, it's a heartwarming and beautiful film with an amazing cast and another important thing it's hillairious!

It's not just a chick-flick as some may presume just because it DOESN'T have a car chase in it, it's good stuff! Also the soundtrack is brilliant, it reflects the tone of the movie completely.

Overall another great peice of entertainment from my idol, Jennifer Aniston. Not to be missed, buy it now!

Unrequited love at its best........2006-06-02

The Object of My Affection starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd is sweet, affectionate, and honest. The chemistry between Aniston and Rudd is on fire! They are so cute and gentle with each other, too bad Rudd plays a young, attractive gay man. Nina (Aniston) falls head over heels in love with George (Rudd) and she is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby but she wants George to raise the unborn baby as his own. Although this movie does fall toward the cheesy side, this movie is still worth owning. If you love Jennifer Aniston then this movie is for you. Happy viewing!

Be warned.......2007-03-04

I bought this item hoping that the disc for "Picture Perfect," one of my favorite romantic comedies, had been updated, but it hasn't. Be warned that it is widescreen, but NOT enhanced for 16 by 9 TVs, so it is a small image with bars on the sides. The other two films ARE enhanced for 16 by 9. I wish this information had been in the product description.

Description

Jennifer Aniston stars in this sly romantic comedy as Nina, a young woman who falls in love with her new roommate, George, (Paul Rudd) even though he's gay and loves her purely as a friend. When Nina becomes pregnant, she realizes she'd rather raise her child with George than with her boyfriend - a decision that forces the threesome to explore the fine line between love, sex and friendship.
