If you can get past Jennifer Aniston's form-fitting wardrobe in a movie about a woman struggling to advance in her profession, this romantic comedy is a fair match with My Best Friend's Wedding. Both films feature conniving, self-centered heroines who undergo a transformation--Aniston presents a bogus fiancé (Jerry Maguire's Jay Mohr) to impress her advertising agency boss and gradually discovers a mutual attraction with the imposter. Both movies go off in delightfully unpredictable directions. Picture Perfect falls prey to occasional sitcom fluff, but it's a fine showcase for Aniston's comedic and dramatic attributes. Critics were mixed-to-harsh in reviews for this movie, perhaps because it's a bit derivative and poses slight challenge to Aniston, who proved her skill with light comedy as a principal cast member of TV's Friends sitcom. It's clear that Aniston is a fine comedian, and she shows that talent to advantage in Picture Perfect. If you enjoy this movie, you should also check out Aniston's follow-up romantic comedy, The Object of My Affection. --Jeff Shannon

This is a very sweet romantic comedy that stars Jennifer Aniston. She portrays an ad agency copywriter that is involved with fellow costar Kevin Bacon. He is the company bad boy, and she is just too good for him. When she gets involved with Jay Mohr, she finds herself falling for him. I was surprised to find I liked Jay Mohr's character. I have never liked him in anything I have seen him in, but this is definitely the exception. This movie is enjoyable, but very predictable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Picture Perfect, May 23, 2005

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

PICTURE PERFECT is a fun romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston. She's having an office romance with Sam (Kevin Bacon) who likes to have no string affairs. She wants to advance in her advertising job, and to do so her friend lies and says she is engaged to this guy who she met at a wedding and got photographed with. His name is Nick (Jay Mohr). When her boss wants to meet him she has to find him and get him to play with the ruse. She becomes very manipulative and there's a few twists and turns along the way. Aniston was really good in this movie. A nice romantic comedy.

This review is from: Picture Perfect [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this movie. After renting a string of movies while recovering from surgery I liked this one so much I went out and bought it. Jennifer Anniston is very good in the comedic role, the same sort of roll as on Friends, but she is much less of an airhead character in this movie. But, my favorite in the movie is Jay Mohr. He spends much of the movie with "Puppy Dog Eyes" for Jennifer but holds his ground. Excellent change from his role in Jerry McGuire.

Basic story is Girl (Kate) wants Boy (Sam) and job recognition, girl isn't getting either. Girl's friend leads people to believe that she is engaged to another boy (Jay playing Nick) who she has only met once at a wedding. Nick gets famous and Kate's life gets complicated. She tries to get Nick to come play the part (for money, which he refuses) and he agrees to "come to dinner". Meanwhile Nick is falling hard for Kate but she doesn't want it. Or does she? As with many real life situations she doesn't realize what she is missing until it is to late (or is it?). Also thrown in is some really interesting information about teh dog-eat-dog world of promotions general and specifically the advertising business.

If you want a light hearted "chick flick" (as my husband would call it) get some popcorn and definately rent this one!

One side interesting fact. One of my other favorite "feel good movies" is the Cutting Edge where Moira Kelly plays Kate Mosley the skater. Picture Perfect has Jennifer Anniston playing Kate Mosley the Creative Director for an Ad Agency.
