The Good Girl (2002)
7/10
Gone bad
4 August 2022
I had heard about this movie - Jennifer Aniston was still making the tv show friends when this was made. And it is clear she wanted to break out of the Friends mould (no pun intended) - she wanted to show she can do more than her Rachel character might suggest. Of course horror fans knew she was more than that (no pun intended and I am not sure how many actually watched her early work with that green monster thing).

What a great cast this also has. And boy does Jake Gyllenhaal look young here ... like a big baby of sorts. Or babyface at least. Great performances in a movie and story that is quite bleak to say the least. Drama baby - as some may say, but life is that way. You get bored of something and find something more exciting - and again no pun intended and not meant to demean people by calling them a "thing". It's more a general thing to say.

An interesting ending that may not be liked by many, but it is what it is ... and again is more or less the trivial and nature of life ... and what it does to us and others.
