Picture Perfect - 1 1/2 star

“Picture Perfect” is yet another hapless rom com that doesn’t do anything to distinguish it from the countless other movies just like it. With this kind of film, there never seems to be any desire to make it stand out from the crowd.

In “Picture Perfect”, Kate Mosley (Jennifer Aniston “Marley And Me”, “Just Go With It”) wants a promotion but she can’t get it because she has no ties to the company; she could easily walk away the next day. Her friend makes up a lie using a wedding photo to says she’s about to get married. Now, Kate has to find the guy and set up a believable break-up.

Aniston disappoints me as an actress because no matter what the film is, her character is simply a small variation on the same thing. Her character is so basic, most reasonable actresses could do it. As an actress, she should aspire to be more. I was looking forward to this film because Kevin Bacon (“Tremors”, “Flatliners”) is in it but he has so little to do in it. The other characters are dull but the film is so thankfully unmemorable that they will quickly fade away from your thoughts.

In one’s mind, “Picture Perfect” will soon blend into every other Jennifer Aniston film you’ve seen and not long after that, it’ll be every other romantic comedy film you’ve seen. Writers of this kind of film should be ashamed. There must be a template script for an average rom com film and that’s a real shame because I like to see unique movies and not the same uninteresting thing over and over again. It’s not the best nor the worst kind of film, it’s not funny or emotional and there is nothing else that could make it memorable for me. It’s stuck in movie limbo.
