Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
HotToastyRag Picture Perfect is really cute. If you haven't seen it, rent it during your next haul of 90s romantic comedies, an already extinct but immortalized genre. Jennifer Aniston, during her FRIENDS reign, made a few movies on the side in hopes of having a career after television. In Picture Perfect, she's absolutely adorable, making what might have been an unlikable character on paper easy to root for. She plays a career woman, eager to advance to the next corporate ladder rung. Her boss tells her she has no motivation, such as a husband, family, home. A little lie and a picture of her and a stranger—boom! She gets a fictional fiancé and a promotion. But what happens when the fictional fiancé shows up, and she's already falling in love with someone else? Seriously, can anyone really compete with Kevin Bacon and his famous strut? This movie is full of laughs, and one of the most hilarious mother-daughter on screen pairings. Go rent it, either with your girlfriends or with your mother. You'll love it.
Mr Black I got this movie because I'm a big Jennifer Aniston fan. I don't think she's the greatest actress in the world - she's more like a movie personality. And I like her. This film is a nice little, sort of romantic tale. Good characters, interesting story and plot. Fairly predictable ending. However, the entire movie did a complete and total FAILURE with the ending. While watching the movie and the couple slips behind the pillar in the church and everyone is listening, I turned to my girlfriend and said, "If they do this horrible thing where everyone realizes they are going to be and they start to clap, I'm going to puke" Sure enough, the did the worst possible thing. How many movies - An Officer and a Gentleman, Shallow Hal, just to name a couple off the top of my head, have you seen this stupid scene in? I mean seriously, you're at a wedding, two total strangers interrupt it, and as a person in the audience you hear them talking, the clap! Cripes, if i was a movie producer and someone showed me a script with this tired old old ending, I'd throw it back at them and yell "come back with something original" Other than the totally horrible final, it was a nice film.
bjarias One of 'America's Sweethearts'.. here she's 28 years old, at her charming best. She has great acting skills, too many times not fully evidenced in the films in which she's appearing. These rom-com's are okay, but now, in her mid 40's, and how many has she done.. almost all copies one way or another of each other. Not to say she hasn't done some very challenging work, but here in this film, now 17 years old, she again shows nuances of great acting skills.. to my mind lost in what is just another mediocre script. Many would disagree, as is their right. She's not going anywhere.. she'll be around for quite a long time.. maybe it will change as she gets older. Personal opinion.. we've yet to repeatedly see the depth of just how good an actor she truly is.
namashi_1 Glenn Gordon Caron's 'Picture Perfect' is A Decent Rom-Com, that entertains. Also, Jennifer Aniston & The Ever-Amazing Kevin Bacon give spirited performances.'Picture Perfect' Synopsis: Kate is working on a career at Mercer Advertising but is passed up for promotion because she's not stable enough, still being single and having no ties to the company. A story is made up about her being engaged to Nick, a guy whom she just met at a friend's wedding, and all seems to work out well for Kate. She even gets the attention of a colleague she had always wanted, but events soon take a dramatic turn.'Picture Perfect' begins & ends on a light note. Being a Rom-Com, this 1997 flick offers good humor & breezy moments. Glenn Gordon Caron's Direction is good.As mentioned before, Jennifer Aniston & The Ever-Amazing Kevin Bacon give spirited performances. Aniston makes a lovable protagonist, while Bacon once again proves, that he can never disappoint. Another likable performance comes from Jay Mohr.On the whole, 'Picture Perfect' isn't perfect, but a decent & light film nonetheless.
