Product Description: Justine Last longs for a more fulfilling life than the one she leads with her boring husband and a dead end job, and when she meets a young co-worker who believes he is Holden Caulfield, she begins an affair with him.

Amazon.com: Jennifer Aniston gives a career-changing performance in The Good Girl, a movie that questions whether goodness is a virtue or a trap. Justine (Aniston), weary of her dead-end retail job and her childless marriage to Phil (John C. Reilly), diverts herself with a new coworker named Holden (Jake Gyllenhaal), who feels as ill-treated by his life as Justine does with hers. The empathy between them leads, all too quickly, to an affair--which just as quickly turns into an obsession that threatens to destroy Justine's marriage. But this is only the beginning; Phil's buddy Bubba (Tim Blake Nelson), the store security guard (Mike White), and a handful of other characters all have a part to play in the unraveling of Justine's life. The script and performances of The Good Girl are subtle but vivid, and the movie's emotional impact will linger long after the movie is over. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - an unneeded comedy
Nothing much to write about: A wonderful Jennifer Aniston ... a terrible screenplay!
I really don't like to provide one star only for any film because it clearly shows my mistake in picking it up and/or watching it. However, fully unexpected the storyboard as such Aniston was urged to play is that horrible that it justifies this my one star evaluation.
... the basic idea of the story isn't that bad at all but unfortunately the cinematic achievement is really miserable and only Aniston's ... Read More
Rating: - Don't bother
The other one-star reviewers have pretty well covered this movie, but I will say there were a few amusing scenes (not nearly enough in that hour and a half of wasted time). When a character commits adultery, deserts a friend during an emergency, tries to get rid of a mentally unstable lover by feeding him (she thinks) contaminated grapes, lies to her husband that he's the father of her baby, lies about whom she had an affair with, causing that man to be beaten up, and goes on about her life with the ...

The Good Girl (Miguel Arteta, 2002)
You know those movies where you laugh, but every time you do you feel guilty for doing so? Yeah, that's The Good Girl. Arteta (Chuck and Buck) starts this off as if it's going to be a light, breezy (if mean-spirited) comedy, but things just keep getting more and more tragic. The brilliance of the film is that the more tragic they get, the funnier the script becomes. There are quite a few ways in which this film puts me in mind of Very Bad Things, and I ... Read More
Rating: - Self Pity Is A Waste Of Time
What a waste of talent...Why is Hollywood so in love with losers?...The acting is top rate which makes this a very well constructed Outhouse!
Outside of the talent, this story has one redeeming virtue, it shows the destructive effect Catcher In The Rye has had on our culture...Holden Caulfied is living in a free society, equipped with a healthy body and access to more education and advantages than can be dreamed of in 80% of the world..but the little spoiled brat is unhappy because the world is ...
