THE GOOD GIRL (2002)

MIGUEL ARTETA

Plot

Justine Last works on the cosmetics counter at a store in small town America, married and in her thirties she's becoming painfully aware that life is not going to invite her to the party, but when Justine begins an unlikely affair with her cute but unstable co-worker she sees for the first time an opportunity to escape her dead end existence. The Good Girl is a kooky comedy drama that pulls out of Aniston her best performance to date, enjoyable and considering the basic genre of romantic comedy it's actually quite brave. While it still slides into indie movie stereotypes on occasion, it is nonetheless a cut above the normal fare.
