Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Python Hyena The Object of My Affection (1998): Dir: Nicholas Hytner / Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Alan Alda, Allison Janney, Tim Daly: Dreary romantic comedy offering insight on relationships between people who cannot love each other in the manner they expect. It really regards the inner person we truly love about individuals whom we know well. Jennifer Aniston is pregnant and asks her live in friend to help her raise the baby. He puts together plays for children, to take his mind off a recently bad relationship. Directed with insight by Nicholas Hytner who previously made The Madness of King George. Here he demonstrates the gap between two people who could be romantically compatible had it not been for the fact that their sexual preferences prevent it. That in itself sounds fine except that it is thrown into a pathetic formula driven screenplay that reduces it all to a by-the-numbers fiasco. Paul Rudd is believable as Aniston's homosexual friend who offers support. Aniston struggles with affection that cannot be returned. This cannot end in union as hinted throughout the screenplay. In flat supporting roles are Alan Alda and Allison Janney who can certainly do better with broader material. Interesting setup with relationships reduced to predictable formula. Theme of acceptance and love is given an interesting viewpoint but the film is more dull than funny. Score: 5 / 10

Noa Lindberg Unfortunately, spending writing a 1,000 critic about this film is as time wasting as this movie was. This is Sunday morning time I will never get back. The storyline is not credible. The characters are not credible. The relationship between the characters are not credible. And the screenwriter uses the same level of language and expressions for all the characters. This is not deep research and development of characters and storyline. The acting was OK but not outstanding. The end was expectable. The movie all in all was extremely boring. Do yourself a favor and take this one off your list and never look back. You will thank me later.

David Fowler Oh, Joy, joy......another film about a gay man who only needs the right woman to convert him. The scene in which Aniston's character SUCCEEDS in seducing Rudd's character is purposely geared to have the audience saying "See, I KNEW he didn't REALLY want to be gay. Now he'll be cured and they can live happily ever after!". The only thing that stops them actually having sex is A PHONE CALL! He doesn't stop it...it has to be a freaking phone call! What an epic cop-out! I'm sorry to burst your hetero female fantasy bubble, Ms. Wasserstein, but men who are actually gay DON'T.....even deep down....want to have sex with women....even if they're Jennifer Anniston. All the gay relationships in the film are depicted as horrible, shallow messes which further serves to egg the audience on in hoping that Rudd's character will be "converted" by Anniston's because he'd be so much happier with her if he could only see. That makes me so angry I could vomit! It makes no difference that he ends up with a guy at the end. The point of the script is that he COULD have been converted. This is homophobia, pure and simple and no less sickening than that to be found in a Klan meeting or a Baptist church. I....HATE....THIS....MOVIE!

Cristian That is the question that Nina have when she falls in love of a gay kindergarten teacher, George. If this is not a kind of romantic that you usually used to hear in an almost XXI century, now is so much different. In the same year comes "Will & Grace" and then "The Next Best Thing". Now, the relationship between gay man and straight woman is yet a typical formula of romantic Hollywood comedies (I guess that not always this characters live together, but always the lead female character has a gay friend, and a gay has to best friend to a single woman). If "The Object of my Affection" don't start it all, is (In movies, because "Will & Grace" is a great and very funny T.V show) the best of all films of this kind of plot - or better the best that i have seen-.In our lives, always we find special people that full us. That makes us feel so different, in a good -very good- way. But, in spite, this person is not always the suitable one. And, in spite that we know that, we suffer of this person. "The Object of my Affection" is the portrait of this kind of uncontrollable suffer by the heart of human beens, show it to us by the story of Nina, who met George, who broke up with his boyfriend. Nina, who see how sad is George for some of the problems that this broke up begins, decides to offer him to stay with her until he be stabilized. Nina lives with other man. She is pregnant of him. After a while, Nina begins a strong relationship with George. The Nina begins to fall in loved of him... Wow, what problem going to begin! "The Object of my Affection" is a drama that, when you watch at the beginning like another romantic comedy which is all the opposite. "The Object of my Affection" is a tender drama that analyzed a hard topic, but that is inevitable in our lives: Love. The movie counts with great performances too: Jennifer Aniston (Shines like ever as Nina), Paul Rudd as George, Timothy Daly, Amo Gulinello, Alan Alda and Allison Janney.Of course that are a lot of movies about unrequited love (Look for one the best movies of this topic "My Own Private Idaho") but the bitter way, dressed of colorful, of "The Object of my Affection" is unique. The story is not a "chick flick" although that much thinks that. This movie is a contemporaneous drama which is fill of an optimistic voice, since the begin to the end. "The Object of my Affection" is great movie that keeps in mind of much - or only me, if is the case-, and marks the thing that "Will & Grace" makes with so greatness and that "The Next Best Thing" ruins.*Sorry for the mistakes... well, if there any.
