this be a tough one . i be view this film in december of 2006. i know it be release at least 3 or 4 month ago although with film in this category the distributor be push to get it to video release as soon a they possibly can because the video release be where much more money can be make and in this case video release will surpass domestic profit . however and you be not read this to hear about how the distributor make money . i watch a ppv on home cable after read some review and take in the marketing several month ago and and only because i like jennifer anniston and i be bore with x mass shopping and be not very familiar w or vaughn . anniston film the good girl be how i become hooked on her . i watched friend seldom but when i do and it be because i like look at her . the good girl be j a at her best . prior she be not pull in audience a one would think she would after friend . her previous film do not make money for the production company to actually allow her to continue make film a a tar and i believe base solely on her performance on friend be she cast in other film and all the while the producer would dump cash into her film hop she would hit that one big star lead to allow them to justify another j a starrer . the good girl be so good but yet make no more than her previous attempt in film work ( i would imagine rental put her over the top because rental be rent mainly base on consumer word of mouth ) . i be generalize here and simply write a i watch her career slowly fade ( i. e. represent i have complete no research on j a and her film but write simply a a consumer watch what be go on with her career ) until the good girl show up on the radar screen of the possibility and the potential of a possibility for ja to find a niche for her considerable talent . i believe good girl be a big critical success which will always make studio head turn . the good girl be so good and on a real life level that if you have not see this film do so now . you will be blow away by her subtle but deeply felt ability to sweep you away from your trouble for 90 minute . thus and base upon the gg show blatantly her ability for film work once a decent script be place in front of her and her sheer talent we all know be there ( why do you think hwood keep remake and extend sequel . no freak writing be go on out there . ) she get to make more of this genre which be a shame because she be capable of much more than the horrid break up and i be afraid she will be stick in this type role . certainly on one level she do not mind a i imagine she be pay very well a the woman love her in this break up sort of waste of film . nevertheless and ja a a star right now and not an actress have to be frustrate not even mention her personal life . i have be want to get all the above thought down somewhere where someone may read them and although a you begin read and notice this be not about this film specifically but about j a and you may skip over this review . i will tell you what i thought of break up and though represent a true and real bore . however and watch ja be a treat . the script be poorly write and the direction be bad and the casting be ok and and frankly and the support actor be more entertaining than the entire film take a a whole . generally and in most anything and you be usually only as good a those surround you and although ja try and she could not carry the film herself and end up with an enjoyable product . my god when i think of that script and most of the dialog i want to cringe . vaughn who be fun to watch a a fast talk slob who try and grab me more this time . think about it and if someone meet over a hot dog at a baseball game and he essentially bully ja a to what he think best and then you deserve what you get . i have be there and i deserve what i get and and it be not fun . this film make production budget wise at 150 mil ( but when you see that figure multiply by 3 for what the film really cost in marketing and print the production company ( distributor ) have to get to the screen and all the other cost involve . ) look at the video rental of this film at what and 50 mil . it make a reported 350m worldwide but there be many more ancillary way of pick up revenue domestically and foreign and so at 450mil they may have make a few dollar allow ja to try again . rent the good girl . there be the real jennifer anniston . moreover and i hope she can break out of the mold she have be cast in . julia roberts do it so can j a .
