The Object of My Affection
1998
**½
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Alan Alda, Nigel Hawthorne, Tim Daly
Jennifer Aniston plays a young woman with a difficult lovelife, which is further complicated when she falls for her gay friend. This passable romantic comedy tries to tackle a number of hot topics (gay and cross-racial relationships, child out of wedlock, etc.) but it's all very superficial. Adapted from Stephen McCauley's novel.
