OlderJennifer Aniston Buys Tracie Martyn
Tomorrow is shaping up as a pivotal day in Jennifer Aniston’s movie career. If you don’t already know, she’s opening in "The Break-Up" with unofficial real-life boyfriend Vince Vaughn. The reviews are scathing; the movie is said to be terrible. If Aniston’s built-in audience doesn’t show up tomorrow night, there’s going to be trouble.
According to the Internet Movie Database, Aniston has a couple more comedies and a thriller on the horizon. Unfortunately, the material doesn’t look terrific and except for George Hickenlooper, the directors attached to the projects aren’t very promising.
It’s hard to say what’s gone wrong here: in person Aniston is a friendly, generous soul who so far has not played the diva card. She’s accessible and amiable.
If "The Break-Up" is really as shrill and annoying as the advance notices indicate, Aniston may really have trouble attracting audiences in the future. She really should take a page from the playbooks of Goldie Hawn and other actresses who needed custom-made material to get out of ruts. And fast!
Aniston fans gotta band together this weekend! After the jump is Jennifer Aniston leaving the Tracie Martyn Salon earlier today, which is located at 59 5th Avenue (bet 12th and 13th St.) British import Tracie Martyn is known as the go-to girl for age-defying facials — "The Facialist to the Stars".

Her profile is just…..
Awww…cute pics!
more BOTOX.
It’s getting awful reviews on Rottentomatoeshttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10005561-break_up/They have no chemistry, more like Brother and Sister, and Iam tired of her Rachel Green roles. This movie might make #1 because her fans feel sorry for her.
She’s only modestly talented but thought she would have a superstar career because she was married to Brad Pitt. Infomercials await.
yes, prepare yourselves incase this movie does well in the box office. If it bombs, its because she is a bad actress, if it does well, its because people feel sorry for her. The Jen haters have a plan too.
HOW THE **** DOES BEING A "FRIENDLY, GENEROUS SOUL" (debatable) ENTITLE YOU TO A SUCCESSFUL MOVIE CAREER?!
I love Jen - and who cares what the reviews are! I mean, really. This is the first, and probably only, post I’ll ever write - cuz I do have a life. I love JJ’s pics and his writing isn’t filled with hate, like Perez Hilton’s and other sites. However, JJ’s readers are hateful - and that is sad.
# 9 trigger.. I agree with you. it use to be fun… now creepy
Who is going to take the blame if TBU bombs.?WE know now how JA laments the failure of everything associated with her bombed pics.HW is as cruel as it can be.You tanked ,.you’re gone.JA should know that, maybe more than15 yrs. in business. Well we start gearing up for more Oprah appearances, cover mags. NOw the captions will read ‘ That should have been my baby",or I’ll have my baby sooner than you think".or whatever. So boring , so sad.
You ill wishers act like you are untouchable. You better hope to whatever higher power you believe in that when you are in a position to be kicked when you’re down there are more compassionate folks around you than your type.
there are plenty of other movies that got not so hot reviews before their official release–that made big $ when rolled out.I’m interested enough to see it and form my own opinions.
EGGLESS AND TALENTLESS!!!!!!!!!!1
well, most of the media who has not been "paid off" by JA’s publicist do write their downright honest opinion in their column. Of course those who were heavily brided are painting her as a "talented" actress which everyone know for a fact she isn’t well ,at least NY POSt is very honest from NYPOST DEAR JEN, IT’S NOT US - IT’S YOU——————————————————————————–May 28, 2006 — JEN, we need to talk. We really don’t know how to say this. It’s so hard, you know. After "Friends" and stuff, it seemed so good between us. We really liked you in "Office Space" and "The Good Girl." And you were even halfway decent in "Along Came Polly." But then you went and tried out this whole Hollywood star thing. You booked all these big movies. And, we can barely say this, they were terrible. No wonder Brad left. I mean, really: "Derailed," "Rumor Has It," and now "The Break-Up," which we saw - and it was every bit as awful
Jennifer is an exceptionally talented individual. She has proved that with the amount of work she gets, the fact that she is the only Friend to win an Emmy award. The problem lies in the unpleasant behaviour towards from the weird Brangelina fans, who when they are not fawning over photographs of them and the kids, are insulting Jennifer for doing NOTHING wrong except be the wife of a man who ran off with another woman. Just Jared have a strange obsession with pin pointing Jennifer as some sort of failure, but she is the last person who is crying over her split with Brad, it is the media who have turned her into a hate figure among the Brangelina fans. The fact that she and Brad are thinking of working together on a new movie shows that the three of them have all moved on. Guess what, most of the **** you read in the papers is exactly that - ****. And people like you just believe it all. Jennifer had every rightto be angry with Brad, but she’s over it, she has Vince, a more talented man in her life who probably makes her laugh a lot following a year of heartache that saw Brad parade his new toys around various airports. I say to JJ and Bra. Fans. Grow up and get a life.
I think the movie will have a good opening
JA and Vince haven’t been a couple for over 2 months. This is all bullshit….and I guarantee you if the movie bombs, JA will blame everyone else especially AJ the "black widow". When will this girl grow up.
Gerri, when did Jennifer EVER blame AJ for anything? She has NEVER mentioned her once. Grow up!
Miss Realistic , you failed to credit Jennifer for a few things that she is famous for 1. she love to tan , tan tan2. she love her hair, hair stylish , hair extension, hair hair hair3. she love coke, smoking, smoke smoke smoke4. she love to manipulate others to do her dirty talking ..ie she dare not be honest about her opinion and alwasy lies5. she love to make snide remarks at those people who she fail to buy off with her money . ie those who fail to say .. oh my beautiful jen, you are so talented, you are so smart, you are so … NOT!!6. she do not like children and are rarely seen with any. she lacks compassion for others7. she love her body , her weight training, her treadmill, her body her body her body8. she love botox, she love mystic tan, she love spa, she love herself9. she failed to take any responsibility for her failure in her marriage. she love to blame everyone except herself. well… i forgot.. she thought she is the SAINT and can do no wrong.. only other people does the wrong and that’s BULLSH*T. When her movie failed , she blame the writer, she blame the director ,she blame the cast .. why can’t she just behave like a grown woman and learn to reflect on her mistake. ?? Oh wait.. she is SAINT and can do no wrongTo JA’s fans …Look at the things that she focus in her life and honestly say that she is a role model to today’s young ?????the fact is that she got lucky when she married Brad . That’s what you fans are hopely and wishing for .. to get lucky like her .. but honestly, don’t brag about her like she is saint.
at least i see moives not because i feel bad for some actor but because of my joy. if i were jen, i would feel miserable for myself……If Aniston’s built-in audience doesn’t show up tomorrow night, there’s going to be trouble…..dont feel pity for me!most reviews said jen`s performance was lack.if i were a fan of her and want her to win oscar, i wouldnt see this film. but i am not a fan. and i think though film is flopped, we havent to blame her or costar and director.if her fan feel bad for her, this film would be very well.
All the Jen hate is as old as Brad looks.
This is what she needs to do regarding her movie career:Play out of CHARACTER.Get FAT.Do a BIOPIC.Make out with the same SEX.Do a period piece.Get Dirty.No more COMEDIES!!!!AngelinaCharlieze.Reese.JuliaCZJ.Halle.Gwyneth.Helen.Jodie.Hilary.All of these actresses ACTED. She has to make some better choices, and FAST.FIRST BOMB OF THE SUMMER: POSEIDON.SECOND BOMB OF THE SUMMER: THE BREAK UP.
Miss Realistic needs to face reality. A man’s children are not toys.
miss realistic…she has a pack of dogs …whoops, I mean lackeys…whoops, I mean girlfriends… who do her dirty work for her. JA is a Martha Stewart…all fake exterior hiding a very angry, bitter and nasty person. Plus she and Vince are liars. They aren’t a couple. They had a six month fling that ended a few months back and he is so fed up with this charade, his arm is half chewed off.
Its not anything personal against Jennifer Anistion–bu she honestly is a VERY mediocre actress. All her roles is Rachel Greene over and over. She has absolutely no acting range. I can’t judge her character because I don’t know her, but the public can judge her work.And so far she has done sub par work. I wonder if other more talented actresses are a little P.O.’d when Jen gets all the attention and movie roles when they are the ones that have respect for the craft.

Uh… Lisa Kudrow also won an Emmy for Friends. I like Jen, but this movie looks awful. X-men which will drop 50% from its massive opening will still kill it.
Mr Realistic, go back to school and study up on your grammar. that was almost painfu to try and read
spewing the same repetitive BS you do on other sites here at JJ I see….I disagree with everything you say. I continue to be an Aniston fan, a VV fan, and I will see this movie. I think the early reviews of many movies are often way off the mark.
# 31 | MR. IS tamp… Then what are you doing here? Go and support J.A. and bring all the people you could possibly get. Hurry up! It might be her last chance to prove something. LOL
that is why i hate pity party. some people dont pay attention to the film. Only a save their idol.
You are so right, she’s cute. For example, M/M Smith early reviews: "Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like they had a terrific time making Mr. and Mrs. Smith — but I certainly didn’t have a good time watching it. Neither, I suspect, will many of you."– Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Their much-hyped kiss-kiss, bang-bang movie is an expensive time-waster, full of slow-motion explosions and big-scene payoffs that turn out to be duds." — Stephen Whitty, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER "Pitt and Jolie make sexy sparring partners, but they can’t lift this leaden material."– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE "Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an action comedy for suburban women that’s as toothless as a newborn, and nearly as stupid."– Kyle Smith, NEW YORK POST "Have we lost our minds and souls so completely to celebrity worship that drivel like Mr. and Mrs. Smith can thrive and prosper?"– Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER "The studio must have reasoned that Jolie and Brad Pitt are movie stars, so anything they do would be seen as fun and attractive — and what could be more fun and attractive than their trying to kill each other and just about everybody else in the movie?"– Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READERetc.etc.etc.Mr and Mrs Smith: Embarrasing display… 4/22 MR. AND MRS. SMITH underestimates…
Check out JJ’s next post about BRAD….Thanks JJ. Finally a little more honest balance here. I’ll come back more often

For MMS , At least the reviews were 60% good and 40% bad from RT .

Here’s More: Seems clear that Mr. and Mrs. Smith made it for one reason only, the obvious one: Leave aside the preposterous idea that professional killers, each of whom maintains an arsenal of weapons on their suburban property, could live together for six years without realizing they’re in the same line of work."– Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER "Failing to make a commitment to character development or genre, Mr. & Mrs. Smith feels like a bad relationship that goes on way too long."– Susan Tavernetti, PALO ALTO WEEKLY "Like a relationship you may want to think carefully about committing to, it puts you through an awful lot to get to the good stuff."– Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS– Staci Layne Wilson, FANTASTICA DAILY "With no glint of interpersonal chemistry, Mr. and Mrs. Smith is sent off to hobble on crutches of weak one-liners and weaker shoot’em up scenes."– Mike Ward, RICHMOND.COM "So maybe the tabloid-crashing Pitt-Jolie friendship emerged out of the shared torture of having endured Simon Kinberg’s script"- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR the joke is funny."– Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY " "Just about worth seeing for the chemistry between its two stars … but the overall glossiness is designed to blind you to the fact that there’s very little substance here."– Matthew Turner, VIEWLONDON "Misses by a country mile…This charmless, bombastically overproduced picture generates plenty of carnage but remarkably little excitement, romance or fun."– Frank Swietek, ONE G ETC ETC ETC

You can report the number AFTER the movie is released, but it’s meaningless until then. More reviews to come for TBU. Besides I never listen to movie critics much. I like to think for myself, how about you?

An oddly plump Vince Vaughn teams with an aging Jennifer Aniston for a likable ro-com romp that shows you just enough promising material to break your heart with the realization that it won’t deliver more…..At least Vaughn makes you laugh, while Aniston’s character has almost no personality. If the tabloids are correct that the stars are a genuine item offscreen, Vaughn owes Aniston foot rubs for at least a month for the way he shamelessly upstages her at every turn. –The ARIZONA DAILY STARWow. Here’s the rub. To the person who listed all those fabu actresses (Angie, Halle, Charlize, Reese, etc) — Aniston is NOT them, and will never be them. At some point you have to recognize that it just can’t be done by certain people. Film stardom isn’t in the cards for every TV actor — if it was, Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton would be making 20 mil a film and raking in the Oscars. Not everyone can be Bruce Willis and George Clooney (by the way - two people who were on TV but did dramatic work, NOT sit-coms..and who by the way, were TALENTED)
# 40 | TO the number people like gossip. though i am a fan of angie, i think MMS benefited from the gossip. and i feel sad. i am a movie fan before actor fan. i also dont believe review. you believe for yourself but dont deny this movie also benefits from the gossip. i Only dont like this situation
These Brangelina fanatics do so HATE. They believe that if they tear Jen up that will make the fact that Brad and Herpes Holie cheated go away somehow. They have to make Jen out as the BAD guy in her marriage when clearly it was the Cheat Brad. Actions speak louder than words…….they had barely seperated when he was openly sleeping with Jolie in some African motel with her kid in tow. What he DID with her , he will do TO her. Karma’s coming. I wouldn’t be surprised if this baby wasn’t the ugliest kid on the planet ….would serve them right!
1. she love to tan , tan tan2. she love her hair, hair stylish , hair extension, hair hair hair3. she love coke, smoking, smoke smoke smoke4. she love to manipulate SO DOES BRAD PITT-Bull….AJ is younger now…..wait and see how much crap she does to keep her youth…not that there’s anyyhing wrong with that but she’s just as interested in her looks as any vain hollywood actress…..she does get her top lip injected to match the natural bottom, does sh!t to her skin, never mind the war paint tatoos to ""decorate" her body., AND she’s had implantsbs, nothing wrong with any of that so shut up about JA and give it a rest. So you see, AJ is ‘ just as vain as the rest of "hollywood". Wait and see what she does now that her tats are bagging and she’s had a child. Again, nothing wrong with it but I bet she tries to hide the fact that she does. Let me also point out that as rich as JA is, if she was that obsessed with tanning, she’d get her own tanning bed in her own mansion and no one would see her go to the tanning salon and shut you people up about how much she tans. She’s Greek you idiots, she’s naturally dark not pasty white like others we know. Like my skin is olive and once in the sun for me makes me darker than my friends who layout day after day.
Man, her hair is so dark in those pics - way darker than Angies. It almsot looks black on her neck - how much peroxide does that woman go through?? Sheesh!
and i watched MMS on DVD.
#18 GerriBroken up, I think NOT. There were many photos of then cuddling last weekend in Chicago at the ball game.

TO ALL HATERS!1) Angie is NATURALLY beautiful. DEAL w/ it FUG-ISTONS.2) That baby will be as well - I guarantee it right now. Angie and Brad being gorgeous themselves and very modest - would not have commented on their kids looks if she was just an ordinary scrunched up looking baby — the fact that they did…tells me EVEN *THEY* are IMPRESSED.3) BRAD WILL NEVER CHEAT ON ANGIE - FACE FACTS DUMMIES…if he NEVER CHEATED w/ MANISTON aka TOOTSIE, even when obsessed with and DREAMING OF ANGELINA 24/7…why & HOW on God’s green earth is he going to step out on Angelina, a woman who has unselfishly given him all that he’s ever wanted, is his dream woman, a talented OSCAR WINNING ACTRESS, and happens to be one of the most beautiful women in the world??The HATER LOGIC is soooo hilarious, and pathetic.
I liked Jen’s acting in The Good Girl. Her delivery in Friends was enjoyable for years. I was howling with laughter over Vince in Wedding Crashers and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I think I’ll go check this movie out and see if it does anything for me. I can hardly trust reviews though it would be nice if anything these days could get a decent chance with a reviewer. I enjoyed Derailed though it upset some. I also thought the chemistry in Mr. & Mrs. worked though the sex and violence theme is overplayed the acting was believable, the directing was pretty much ok though I suppose indie and foreign films (Akira Kurosawa my favorite) have jaded me a bit to the main stream directors.Vince and Jen are both really funny people on film and tele, talk shows even they are pretty decent with a comedy…I guess I never took a side in the divorce of Brad and Jen but she and Vince have pretty big comedy talents. They are just really great personalities. That isn’t to say that there isn’t chemistry in both matches. They are all "well out of it" with regards to the tabloid break up though I have to imagine.
let me add they also hope against hope that JA will just go away so people will FORGET that Brangelina cheated their way into each other and all the nasty feelings people have for them will vanish. If she is a terrible actress than Brad SHOULD have left her. If she isn’t as pretty as Jolie than Brad SHOULD have left her. If she hasn’t won an OSCAR, Brad SHOULD have left her. They think like children, or perhaps immature women who also got involved with a married men who sat around waiting for them to come around and screw them again while making up things in their little brains about how EVIL the wife must be. When the evil resided in them and the cheating husband. Which, I’m sure they found out too the hard way when he never left his wife. boo hoo. But, somehow Brad the cheat will stay faithful to Herpes Holie. Nah….once a cheat always a cheat.
wtf… basically Aniston has an excuse for everything where everyone else takes the blame… whatever… wasn’t she straddling VV on an open balcony baiting paparazzi who does that. now she’s shielding her face in those pictures… she’s like fourty… bottomline she should act more mature than she is… but she’s trying to be a big Hollywood Star… well… that’s why it’s Hollywood… people like her usually don’t make it big.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I thought the Birth of Shiloh would put an end to this. JA haters, SHUT THE FU@& UP! Your accusations and repetitive comments are old, just like Brad. I loved Jennifer Before Brad, during Brad, and now after Brad. Her movies tank, yes I agree, but besides the acting, her image and the bad press were a huge affect on the films. And AJ haters, SHUT THE FU@& UP! Why do you have to use an AJ insult as your defense? I never liked AJ’s movies, honestly, they sucked. I actually liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith, not because of the hype but because I liked the romance and action combination. But still, I never liked AJ until her humanitarian efforts were plastered all over the media. Brad is ok, he really was hotter before AJ BUT he does look happier/normal with AJ. In the end, I will still watch this movies because it really does look funny and VV has always been a favorite of mine and will continue to be with or without JA. BAMZS obsessors and AJ haters piss me off. You guys are ruining the boards on JJ. You guys make Perezhilton.com look wholesome.
#24 Scooter: "A man’s children are not toys."You are oh so right,and Brad is NOT using his as toys…… sadly though he IS using them as accesories to go with his black outfit. Fortunately, everything goes with black. Not a put down to the kids cause I feel sorry for them, just the way the poser appears. He looks bored, unfocused and sorry but I ain’t feelin’ the love between these two. I’m sure he genuinely cares about her adoptive kids and now really loves his biological baby, but like most hollywood, put-the-cart-before-the-horse, couploes, fizzle city is not far behind. He is not cut out for the ho-hum life he’s been living in Africa for the last weeks and weeks and I guarantee he’s got some itchy britches.
Monica, it is all a show until the PR for the movie ends. Then it the break up stories will start, although they haven’t been together for awhile.
To C…….Natural Beauty! roflmao!Angie has dried up prune looking lips , terrible huge pores, and bad acne scarred skin, MAN HANDS, have you ever seen her HANDS. They look like a MANS! Big buggie eyes that look Weird to say the least. Like they’re gonna POP out! She’s weirdly shaped, big waist and skinny legs and arms. Plus,she’s tattoed all over. YUCK! Just wait as time goes by ole Brad will star in a movie with someone 10 years younger than her and cheat on her too. It will happen. Oh and EVERY parent thinks their baby is beautiful, each and every one.
#49, I wouldn’t count on that. Some of the most beautiful people have the ugliest children. Sometimes it skips a generation. The genes are there just dormant.
Jared, why do you always dish Jen? What has she ever done to you? You disappoint. Damn.
#56 - NEWS BULLETIN, you’re getting Angelina mixed up with Maniston, the Dustin Hoffman lookalike, with a huge crease in her forehead crowsfeet and pores she can store change in. HD TV (High Definition TV) voted Aniston the actress with THE WORST SKIN EVER, and guess who had THE BEST SKIN EVER?? YES. THAT’S RIGHT, ANGELINA. Sorry you sad silly Maniston loving twit. Bottomline, she is consistently voted ‘THE MOST BEAUTIFUL * MOST SEXY because she is. End of story. Your jealous sad pathetic rants won’t change that fact. This is a woman who has been in the top 5 hottest lists, while 9 months pregnant, wearing maternity clothes and shades..lol - while Maniston, can’t even break the top 100. Muahahaha! Angie is the mother of Brad’s babies, and the love of his life — face reality. You sound sick and delusional. Brad’s 12 years older than Angie now…he’s already got his ‘younger woman’ babe. I repeat — if he was loyal to a backstabbing ambitious selfish immature 40 yr old tootsie looking woman like Aniston — there’s no question he’ll be devoted through eternity to Angelina. Sorry to burst your jealous hater bubble.
I think Vince Vaughn will be the only saving grace of this film. If this movie has a reasonable box-office return it will be because people want to see him, not JA. I have a feeling the people going to see the supposed "chemistry" between Vince and Jen will be highly, highly disappointed. I’m sorry but those two do NOT look good together, onscreen or off. He’s like the laid back sweats and baseball cap guy while she’s wearing a ******* cocktail dress in every scene, perfectly tanned and leathery, hair perfectly coiffed and framing her face just so. And is it me or does she seem very stoic in her scenes? Jenjen is upstaged in every movie she’s been in, her acting just doesn’t hold up. And I think Rachel Greene was the most boring Friend.
#58Jared did not dish Jen . What was posted was from Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,197792,00.html
Ahhh C, you see he wasn’t faithful to Jennifer, one of the kindest, sweetest actresses in Hollywood. He cheated with Holie, why the hell would he stay faithful to the wacked out herion taking, sucidial, skin-cutting, blood wearing, psychiactric hospital patient, wack job Herpes Holie? And another thing Vangina Herpes Holie was voted the WORST SKIN in hollywood at one time, that was before she had her face lift. Oh along with none other that Brady Poo…. read it and weap baby: http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/01/25/brad_pitt_aamp_angelina_jolie_given_wors
#62 - is just like baby Jen Jen - not an original thought in the head!
Dear #62,The link below takes you to the High Def honies list - and as you can see, Maniston is not there, ANGELINA is. This is no biased opinion by some gossiping scribe who is a loser in love like Maniston - or a rabid hater beyatch like YOU - these are objective tech audio visual dudes, giving you there objective opinion:http://www.tvpredictions.com/thelist.html Once again, I repeat - Maniston is nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, on this years bad-skin list - both Pitt and the X were 1 & 2…here it is — in all it’s glory…highlighted in bold, *YOU* READ IT AND WEEP..pay special attnetion to the end paragraph below..it’s a hoot:Pitt, Aniston Head Swanni’s ‘Bad Skin’ ListIn crystal-clear HDTV, the ex-lovebirds could use something to clear up their faces.By Phillip SwannWashington, D.C. (January 29, 2006) — Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are no longer together, but they still have something in common:Bad skin.Phillip Swann, aka ‘Swanni,’ and the president of TVPredictions.com, has just named the 10 celebrities who have the worst skin as seen in crystal-clear High-Definition TV.Number one and two on the list?Former lovebirds Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Here’s what Swanni has to say about they look in high-def:"Pitt, America’s favorite male heartthrob, would give some females a heart attack if they saw him in real-life. The Oceans 11 star has deep pockmarks in his cheeks, the result of a long-time acne problem. His name may be Pitt but his face is a crater," Swann said."I saw that a skin specialist recently said that his new squeeze Angelina Jolie has a skin problem. This guy obviously doesn’t have high-def," Swann continued. "Jolie’s skin is beautiful except for that large mole over her right eyebrow. In high-def, it looks like Mt. Everest." (hey she’s human after all, not a goddess - even though she looks like one…lol)Swann added: "If there were ever two people in Hollywood made for each other, it’s Jen and Brad. Like her ex-husband, Ms. Aniston’s cheeks are filled with pockmarks. They say married people start to look like each other after several years. Perhaps if he stays with Angelina, Brad will eventually lose the pockmarks and gain a mole over his right eyebrow."__________________________As you can see, you twisted jealous loser hater - your link is discounted. :-P
I’ve nothing against JA, but the truth is she is just an okay actress. She doesn’t have what it takes to carry a film and there is nothing wrong with that in itself. She is, however, being paid to carry these films and due to a lack of talent and poor script choices on her part, she is unable to do so. There is a reason Kidman, Berry, Jolie, Theron etc., have won Oscars–they have shown they can transcend who they are to BE a character that they are playing. Aniston is always herself. Kinda like Tom Cruise. When was the last time you went to a Cruise movie and came away forgetting you saw Cruise and instead saw the character he was playing. Good and great actors/actresses are able to make you forget who you are watching. Jen has been unable to do that. There is nothing wrong with being a TV actor, maybe it won’t win you an Oscar, but who cares (obviously Jen). There is nothing wrong with taking a supporting role as Jolie did in Girl Interrupted (got her the Oscar). If Jen is going to transfer her minor talents to the big screen she needs to more carefully choose her vehicles. Kidman takes risks–sometimes she gets slammed over them as with Stepford Wives and Bewitched, but other times she wins as with Moulin Rouge and the Hours. Jolie, Theron, Blanchett, Watts–they all take risks which develops their skill and brings them other parts that showcase their talents. Jen poorly chooses her scripts. She needs someone to do a makeover on her. Marilyn Monroe was not that talented, but she knew how to work her limited abilites. Jen does not. She has stated that she doesn’t want to go back to TV, doesn’t want to do a sequel to friends, charity work isn’t her thing, she is almost 40 so kids may not be in the picture, so what is she left with? A diminishing film career. Consistent bad reviews. Soon, she won’t have a lot of options left if she wants to stay in the major motion picture industry. Folks are only going to want to pay her 7 figure salaries if she is producing. Watch her pictures next to a really great actresses–like Hepburn or Streep. The difference in the acting skill level is incredible. She has fans, but she does not have that extra special something that reaches out and says "WATCH ME" - PAY TO WATCH ME!
ok, NOW I GOTTA SAY SOMETHING!i saw the SCREENING of this film and can’t imagine why the critics would PAN it. ??!! two of the WORLD’S most notable and comedically gifted actors play side by side — they look incredible on screen and they have incredible chemistry together. it’s a “date movie” that taps into the emotions of any of us who live in the "dating" world… as a casting director, i would give the film a B, since some of the supporting roles could have been amplified to complement Vaughn and Aniston’s screen presence, but if you enjoyed "Wedding Crashers" and “Friends,” you’ll get to see Vaughn and Aniston, who are not afraid to look like the average person, make you laugh and perhaps see some human relationship behavior from the outside. i would totally recommend the film! the audience i was amongst was laughing throughout!
Mr Realistic, go back to school and study up on your grammar. that was almost painfu to try and read # 29 | what? |=====================Not Nearly As Painful As Trying To Sit Through One Of Jennifer Anistons Movies,,,, LOLOLOLOL
#64 CMHO - CLAPPING MY HANDS OFF
Aniston looks like week-old Beef Jerky.
TO her. Karma’s coming. I wouldn’t be surprised if this baby wasn’t the ugliest kid on the planet ….would serve them right! # 43 | Truer words =====================Speaking of karma, If you ever get pregnant, pray ever night for your unborn, That baby is innocent. And has nothing to do with the behavior of Adults.. Watch Your Back babe, And be prepared for What YOU get when you decide to have a BABY.
I’m gonna see it!
Jennifer in two years will either be back of TV or she will married to a guy who can get movies made. She is just an OK actress. She is now 37 even though she looks younger it does not matter .Leading men are not going to want to work with a 40 year old so so actress.BTW how many times does she touch her hair in TBU. I heard there are college students that watch her DVD and drink each time she touches her hair.
you know I find it hard to read all these really long posts. Dont get me wrong, I try but lose interest. sorry ppl! like reading the short ones, that’s all the time I have. Well. anyway, love Jen and vince, though I heard this site is HATEFUL towards her I come to give her some support . Even if there are some who say they wont even come here.
I have just one word for Jennifer Aniston and that is…. BORING.
The success with these movie reviews lies more with Vince than with JA. He co-produced and wrote the script. The bad reviews are about the script, flow and overall aura, not with JA’s acting.I like Vince and will see the film becuase he is great and I want him to succeed. Why are AJ fans still so obsessed with JA? Get a grip and let go of your obsessions and live your life as if she did not exist! See the film if you want coz Vince Vaughn is great.
# 66 I agree wholeheartedly. This site is notorious for being "owned by the Brangelina crowd" …. you know "Team Jolie" so all you’ll get here is negative on Aniston. Why? Maybe it’s like someone up thread said they must vilify Jennifer to make Brad and Angie innocent, and we all know Angie really….who would believe that? lol… anyway I like Angie too, and she certainly isn’t much of an actress either. In fact , Jen is probably somewhat better than her because Angie relies on her body too much and not her acting skills. And I can’t imagine Jolie trying to do comedy. That takes skill and timing and she just doesn’t have that, she comes off too depressing and dark, on purpose by the way. Maybe she needs better scripts also, who knows.
#72 How old are you? I’m betting 16 or 17 , and so jealous of JA. Too bad that’s just a waste of your energy and it shows so clearly in your writing. You’re hurting NO ONE but yourself. Channel that somewhere where it could be put to good use.
#44 said "She’s Greek you idiots, she’s naturally dark not pasty white like others we know."That’s funny, she was as pale as can be on The Edge and on all of the seasons of Friends up until she started dating Mr. Pitt. Greek or not, Jen tans year-round, or else she would be walking around with her natural Casperitis.
Back about 2002 Jen had heavy cracks on her forehead that was really noticeable on one ep.of Friends with close-ups . Now four years later her forehead is almost without lines.Ahh, the wonder that is Botox!
Man, she needs to quit smoking , her skin looks terrible.
I do not find JA at all attractive. I don’t see it. She is an OK actress/ She is very limited. She is an actress and not too bright. She tries hard and is just mediorce. She is not very smart this shows in her work and her decisions. Who buys their husband Girls Gone Wild videos for his birthday? She is an idiot. Too self absorbed to notice her husbands need for a family . You get what you give in life Miss Aniston.
To Jenn’s fans: This topic is about the movie – so why are you going on and on about Brad and Angie and Shiloh? i.e. Holie, reviews from M&MS, karma, etc. See this is why no one wants to see her movies. Your behavior on this site and others is real turn off. Geez, let it go already. Why not try a different tactic and help in converting fans and winning back others so her career can be somewhat respectable and successful? Obviously, she doesn’t have enough TV fans for her movies to make the top 10. Instead, you turn a bunch of us - who are professional, independent and successful women - away from her with your hateful words and constant reference to Brad. If that’s all you have, then NO movie will ever be successful. LET IT GO!
This woman is an oncredibly mediocre actress. And I just had enough with the movie previews; this is gona bomb.
Are we never going to get to read a word about JA or Vince Vaughn without having to weed through a bunch of **** about brad pitt and not-so-holy-jolie? I’m a fan of Aniston’s and she had a very long and successful run on TV before Brad. Vince is a total gem. I plan to see The Break Up. It’s my money so shut the F up.
#77 Jen fan**It is just the truth. Read any interview of an actress over 40. The older actors want to act with 20 - 30 year olds . Renee Russo said the minute she turned 40 the scripts given to her dropped. Now she still works but she is an established star. Second JA got alot of films she is doing now because Brad started a production company.Those are facts. That you felt the need to insult tell me you know I am right.
she’s like the most white washed Greek ever…
Not on this site you’re not! It’s all Brangelina, all the time. These Brangelina fans are just a tad deranged! Just a tad, if a tad is the size of a swimming pool ….lol……they cannot let go of Jennifer and the fact she had Brad first and now Angie is getting Jen’s sloppy seconds…….oh roflmao…….Jen kicked his cheating ass to the curb. They really believe that after she divorced him she secretly wants him back, even though she divorced him, and I think they fear she just might get him back. That she would even want him back after being with herpes holie. ewwww…. That’s why they can’t stop talking about her.
JA just isn’t a leading lady, sorry, but its true…she’s good in ensembles and was good on Friends, but i’d never pay money just to see her. She does’nt have that "it" that charlize, julia roberts, reese witherspoon etc have, and no matter how much her PR try to spin it the other way, it’s just not there. I love her style though, lol, that’s about all that is appealing about her.Oh and the comment about karma…thats just really hilarious. Seriously, for JA fans that are so worried about AJ’s karma, dont u ever wonder what JA did to get this kinda karma directed at her? She musta screwed someone over in her life…did’nt she hook up w/ one of her old boyfriend’s while he was engaged or had a preg girlfriend or something? Maybe that’s just a rumor, i dont give enough of a crap about her to find out the truth, but she must have done something to someone to get this kind of bad luck if ur belief in karma is so strong. And if anyone has actual hard evidence (i.e. video, photos etc) of BP cheating w/ AJ, please enlighten us, i’d pay money to see that now, lol
86 well what’s going to be your karma. that’s uncalled for
#86You better hope there is no such thing as Karma because you just had a s**tload of nasty Karma coming right at you.
uh… she does want him back have you not read her interviews it’s all dirty laundry
#86 Brangelina fans are a tad deranged**Please read 86. To be fair it Jen’s fans also. But they attack children which in my opinion is worst.
# 86 lala–Well, JA end end up shriveled and washed up with no children because of the abortion she had when she was married to Brad. That, and her drug, use, was why he dumped her.
At the moments she look pregnant to me
#95 what proof do you have Jen had an abortion? If anyone would get an abortion it would’ve been Jolie. Maybe that’s why she’s so depressed all the time. Her father has begged her to get help and begged for someone to intervene so he could at least Talk to her, but she won’t have anything to do with him. She’s a spiteful, unforgiving person. And Brad didn’t dump Jen, she LEFT him because he was cheating. Divorce takes time to recover and heel from……..sometimes years, of course, if you’re cheating it doesn’t. If your cheating you don’t miss a beat and go on to be with the person you cheated with…like Brad did with Angie.
Angie is naturally beautiful? Compare her pictures years ago and now: something has been done to her eyes and chin. her eyes before are more deep set and nearer to each other. now, they are farther apart and that chin suddenly is now a few mm longer. cmon, angie worshippers. let us see if you have the guts to look into old Angie pictures and now.Natural in Hollywood? Bull.
Speaking of proof, where’s the proof that Aniston is a drug user? Seem to recall that Jolie admitted she was and some pretty hard core drugs at that.
to #95 billie - I think there may have been rumors that Jen had a miscarriage. Never read anything that indicated an abortion. That poster is just being mean. A lot of the bamz-ers believe you gotta drag Jen Aniston through the dirt to make their idols look cleaner. It’s pretty ridiculous.
A lot of reasons to see this movie. VV is in a category of his own and I don’t miss his films: http://movies.msn.com/movies/dvd/vaughn
I’m not gonna see this movie, and will convince all my friends to skip it. Watched the trailer, which was awful and unpleasent. Jennifer is really boring to watch. Not going to pay 10 bucks to watch Rachel Green whom I can see on TV free anyway. Plus she is boring me to death.
As comedic actors go, Aniston & Vaughn have the skills. They’re not trying to be big-time dramatic actors–This is a SUMMER movie for christ’s sake! The net has made the pre-review of movies the latest thing, personally I’ll wait to make up my own mind.
Will these nut cases every stop coming out of the walls? Will everything Brangelina does bring the hatred towards Jen?
There are pics of Angelina at the Oscars with Jon Voight as a kid, and she looks the same. Maybe she is skinnier now, but she has the same nose, lips, and eye shape. She also has the same bone structure. Sorry, not everyone is unattractive as Jennifer. Angelina looks like Jon Voight, when he was younger Jon was handsome, check out Midnight Cowboy!
Angelina’s face lift: http://tinyurl.com/qush9
Nightowl, I’m sorry to say if you come to Jared’s there are lots of big talking blow hard Brangelina fans who are NASTY! You should really go elsewhere cause it aint pretty.
# 100 | Cathy Lets see Cathy you wouldn’t be a Brangelina fan would you? hmmmmmmmm… yep you are.
If you want to compare reviews for TBU and MAMS, Rotten Tomatoes lists 60% positive reviews for MAMS with 80% positive from viewers. TBU currently shows 23% positive from critics and 37% positive from viewers.
jen is UGLY, Vince is FAT, and their movie sucks.The End
#96Gee, I’ve never heard of plastic surgery that could move a person’s eyes further apart. Do tell!
#108 Did that make you feel better child?
Kinda funny… Majority of Aniston fans boycotted Mr & Mrs Smith Smith. Who cares. Now Brad & Angie fans are not watchingThe Break Up. I will save my hard earned money not to see it. Halle so what if Cathy is an Brangelina fans. I love Brad & Angie too. If you like the Aniston so be it. I won’t bow for her antics!
"Break-Up" team kept true romance in mindJune 2, 2006 04:19:22By Borys KitLOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - When is a romantic comedy not a romantic comedy? Universal Pictures’ "The Break-Up," opening Friday, stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, two big names that naturally fit the romantic comedy mold.Directed by Peyton Reed, it has a colorful supporting cast of scene-stealers, a "rom-com" musical number in which the cast sings a once-popular song and a muscular marketing campaign that makes it look like a successor to Vaughn’s "Wedding Crashers," which grossed more than $200 million domestically last year.But according to the filmmakers, it’s not a romantic comedy. It’s not even an anti-romantic comedy. Rather, they designed the movie to explore, in comedic and dramatic tones, one couple’s breakup, when neither wants to move out of the condo they share. It’s akin to Woody Allen or even Neil LaBute territory, except that in this case it was Vaughn himself who mapped out the terrain.From the start, he wanted to keep the focus on the characters and make a realistic movie. "When you are doing a character-driven movie, it’s not like you have a Death Star to blow up, and the good people win and the bad guys lose. Real life is more complicated than that," Vaughn says.Adds executive producer Peter Billingsley, "If you explore a breakup between people, a lot of funny stuff happens, and you can home in on the comedy, but there is a painful side to it. And it’s unfair not to show that. It’s a delicate act, I think. We spent a long time writing it."Way before 2003’s "Old School" launched Vaughn on his current comedy trajectory, Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender wrote a script called "The Golden Tux" with Vaughn in mind. It sold to Dimension in June 2002, and the two got a meeting with their prospective leading man. At the meeting, Vaughn said he had an idea for another movie about a couple that breaks up, and he wanted the duo to write it.That project was set up as a pitch at Sony-based producer Revolution but then fell apart. Garelick and Lavender, with Vaughn’s blessing, wrote it as a spec. The first draft took 2-1/2 months to write. After that, with New York-based Garelick living in Vaughn’s home in Los Angeles and the Hollywood-based Lavender showing up every day, to be continued…..
. "We did improv with Vince. We’d act out every character to come up with the funniest and (most) meaningful stuff. And we’d talk story ad nauseam."Studio execs liked the results: The script sold in a bidding war to Universal, netting the writers more than $2 million and a $10 million payday for Vaughn.The result is a relationship comedy-drama that has more in common with such movies as "Annie Hall," "Paper Moon" or "Big Night," which the writers cite as their primary influences. Scenes turn from funny to serious, from dire to hilarious, striking every emotional note in between."You have to very carefully work out those beats," Billingsley says. "There are even dramatic scenes where you have jokes in the middle of them. And so you’re walking a very difficult tonal line."Comedy was taken out of the second half of the script, and the ending was redone and redone again — a traditional Hollywood ending was created, then scrapped — all with the goal of keeping it real."It was never intended to be a romantic comedy but rather something that captures the duality of life," Lavender says. "Sometimes the hard times are funny, sometimes they are painful. Vince said to us, ‘Sadly, the person you learn the most from isn’t always the one you get to end up with.’ And I think we’ve all got those relationships."Reuters/Hollywood Reporter
From a review of TBU:Aniston is even less interesting. After umpteen tries at movie stardom (none of which has clicked), it’s becoming painfully clear that she’s a sitcom phenomenon, and the particular magic that made her America’s sweetheart all but disappears when it’s blown up on the big screen.Ouch.
Aniston keeps trying to be the traditional romantic "sweetheart" lead actress when she clearly doesn’t have the face for it. She’s no Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan. If she had any talent, she could try for character roles like the ones Toni Collette, Kathy Bates, and Emma Thompson play (can’t you just see Aniston as Nanny McPhee? no need for prosthetic nose). Unfortunately, she doesn’t have any talent or brains. All she knows is how to tan, fix her hair, exercise, and not eat. Get lost, Jen. Go back to obscurity where you belong.

# 16 | Miss Realistic |Always blaming someone for her mistakes. Maybe if people just let her fall she could grow up. insteading of protecting her like some wounded pupppy dog. She has no class or backbone of her own and that is why she comes off so bad in her films. She isn’t strong and has such a "poor me" persona which btw way SHE is always advocating!!! Boring. Not even Nicole Richie comes off that pathetic. She needs to own up to herself and then maybe her acting skill will improve. rachel green on the BIG screen doesn’t sound wworth 10 dollars to me.
I plan to see The Break Up. It’s my money so shut the F up. # 84 | sick of braglina =======================You won’t have any trouble finding a seat.. lol, The movie flopped before it opened..
# 51 | Truer words Before BRad , how many guy did Ansiton sleep with ? after Brad , she immediately hook up with Vince, Vince is know to be a one night stand guy. then probably Maniston and herpes too. rumor they are splitting soon, well, Aniston is rivh as her fnas said, she could have any man she want. what a ****!

# 88 | GetOverIt Great post !! I’m Clapping!!!
what a nonsense talk about greeks and their tanns.go to greece and have a look around dears, there are redheads too.sorry to spoil your day, but shouldnt ange be darker than jen.she has an inidan background and is so not american.my god, i have put down your saint angelina by comparing her to natgives of america.jen is tanning, wait till ange gets 40. that girl is not going to be hot with hangig tatoos from her bidy with defined strechtmarks.
VINCE is known to be a one-night stand guy? Oh, sheesh. Were YOU in the stadium at the Chicago game–dating or not, it’s obvioius Vince cares about Jen Aniston.Looking forward seeing The Break Up this w/e.
Vince is great, Jennifer, not so muchFriday, June 2, 2006By ROGER MOOREKNIGHT RIDDER NEWS SERVICEVince Vaughn we love. Vince is fast. Vince is furious. Vince is flip.Vince is, say it with me, "Money."But Mr. Wedding Crasher gets very little support from his rumored off-screen love Jennifer Aniston in "The Break-Up," the movie where they reportedly fell in love.Vince carries the load. Vince makes the script more than it was. Vince is, as ever, money.Jen just looks wounded, ready for her next "Oprah" moment. She doesn’t have that gift that Meg Ryan has, for making us laugh at her pain.She’s little better than a dead weight in this romantic comedy about a not-that-compatible couple who meet, court and buy a condo together in the very clever opening credits, and have their first big uncomfortable "You don’t appreciate me" blow-up 20 minutes in.In short, "The Break-Up" is too accurate to be light-hearted, too light and flippant to be really romantic. It’s as if the stars were, like their characters, in two incompatible movies.He plays a motor-mouthed Chicago tour bus guide — he owns the company with brothers Vincent D’Onofrio (very good) and Cole Hauser (still a poor-man’s Josh Lucas).She’s a salesperson in a pretentious art gallery run by pretentious artist Marilyn Dean (Judy Davis, wonderful).He charms her at a Cubs game. He’s hip and cute. She’s gorgeous.He gets the girl. Then, she gets to know the real Gary, the boorish, never-help-around-the-house, never-do-the-things-she-wants-to-do Gary. They explode, and the rest of the movie is about her efforts to trick him into being Mr. Perfect.Except we don’t for one moment buy into the character or her motivations.Joey Lauren Adams of "Chasing Amy" is the gal pal she confesses to. Jon Favreau ("Swingers") is his bartender-confessor. Vaughn and Favreau have years of chemistry. Aniston and Vaughn don’t. Aniston and Adams don’t.Aniston doesn’t fill out a thin script with an outsized personality the way Vaughn does. She is, as she was on "Friends," the pretty one, and once again she’s only the third funniest woman on the screen.So cute bits about her possibly gay chorus member brother (John Michael Higgins, a stitch); the real estate agent friend (Jason Bateman) to both, who becomes their de facto therapist (working on commission, of course); her strange receptionist friend at work (Justin Long, cute) — all fall flat.Ann-Margret plays her mom in a bit of stunt casting that is wasted. Peter Billingsley — Ralphie of "A Christmas Story" — got a producing credit, and a small role in this (he must’ve owned the rights).All of this, the not-that-funny script, which Vaughn juices up with jive, the obvious re-shoots (check out Vaughn’s hair in the later scenes, compared with the earlier ones), the incompetent ending, circle around the morose, perfectly coifed, overly-tanned heart of the picture — Aniston.So kids, best of luck with that real romance. Your movie’s not totally unlikable, and certainly not "Gigli."But what should have been a comic trial separation feels like "bring in the lawyers" from the start. The writers never get past "What on Earth did she ever see in him?" And the viewer never gets past "What on Earth did he ever see in her?"Ouch.
‘The Break-Up’ Plays Like a Tired TV SitcomPhil Villarreal - Arizona Daily Star"The Break-Up" plays like a 106-minute highlight reel of three seasons of a sitcom that jumped the shark midway through the sophomore year.None of the scenes particularly relates to the next to form a coherent story. Each just starts up with the same familiar odd-couple premise, shoots for a few easy laughs, then retracts back to where it started.An oddly plump Vince Vaughn teams with an aging Jennifer Aniston for a likable ro-com romp that shows you just enough promising material to break your heart with the realization that it won’t deliver more.Director Peyton Reed takes off with a simplistic, yet juicy premise - a shacked-up Chicago couple calls it quits, but remain bitter roommates - and pounds it into the sticky theater floor for all it’s worth.A quirky and capable supporting cast, including Vaughn’s usual wingman Jon Favreau, squeaky-voiced goddess Joey Lauren Adams and slippery Jason Bateman, fades into the background in favor of maximum screentime for the leads.Vaughn plays Gary, a blue-collar tour guide who tries to grow his business in hopes of saving up for a place big enough for a pool table. Aniston is Brooke, an art gallery assistant who longs to see the world.They’re a perfect mismatch. Brooke wants to go to the opera, but Gary would rather spend his downtime playing video games. Brooke is all about hosting dinner parties, while Gary is so scatterbrained he can’t remember to bring home enough lemons from the store to make a centerpiece.Brooke nags, Gary sandbags. One of their tiffs turns into a full-on argument, and they break up, but are stuck together in their condo because neither can afford the mortgage on their own.They make plans to sell the place while making life as tough as possible on each other. For Gary, that means claiming the living room as his personal domain, leaving his clothes lying around everywhere and refusing to let Brooke watch TV. Brooke’s tactics include blasting Alanis Morissette music and rubbing Gary’s nose in her string of new dates.The humor is so broad and canned you’re surprised the jokes aren’t followed by prerecorded laughter from a live studio audience and divided by commercial breaks.The film is front-loaded with the best stuff. Vaughn’s sexist, motormouthed riffs early on are right up there with his best stuff in "Swingers" and "Wedding Crashers," but in the second half the focus shifts to the threadbare story, striving for raw honesty mixed with lukewarm jokes that seem to come from balled-up first drafts of the script that found their way to the garbage can.The movie’s tagline is "pick a side," but that’s tough to do since both parties are so petty, cruel and self-centered. You half root for them to stay together just because neither one deserves any better.At least Vaughn makes you laugh, while Aniston’s character has almost no personality. If the tabloids are correct that the stars are a genuine item offscreen, Vaughn owes Aniston foot rubs for at least a month for the way he shamelessly upstages her at every turn.It makes sense that the Gary-Brooke relationship is based on false hope dashed by reality. They once saw something in each other that made them commit, only to be disappointed once they really got to know what they got themselves into. You may feel the same way about the film.
she just needs to go back to indys and/or supporting roles, she no lead type. the end.
Overexposure, mediocre talent, that was the problem of Aniston.
The former "Friends" star is likable enough, but she can’t shake her trademark exterior affectations: the low-rise jeans, fake tan and that highlighted hairdo. On the other side of the equation is Vaughn, whose deft monologues have earned his status as a scene-stealer. The problem is, his bursts have stronger effect paired with an actor who can match or underplay his obnoxiousness, as Owen Wilson did in "Wedding Crashers." If there’s one thing that "The Break-Up" accomplishes, it’s proof that Brangelina are the more interesting duo.
while Aniston’s character has almost no personality 125 | 104 Mins Sitcom ============================That is because she is not acting. She is just being herself playing this charactor. She will always be R. Green. She was R. Green even before R. Green.. The movie will flop big time.
UNITE. GO TO THE MOVIE, TAKE A DATE, TAKE A FRIEND. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED. AFTER ALL, IT’S VINCE AND JEN.
I won’t see the movie because I don’t think it would be a good one since VV as the leading man. VV is good at playing a fast-talking, annog big guy in a supporting role, Like what he did in the Wedding Crashers & MAMS. He acts funny by talking fast to annoy people so as to opposite/support the leading man like in Wedding Crashers. That’s what he’s good at. If he’s the leading man, I bet he would annoy people who watch the move to death. I don’t want to waste my $10.00 on that! Period.
Face-Off: Brad Pitt vs. Vince VaughnVaughniston’s romance hits the big screen. But how does the Mr. Wedding Crasher rate against Jen’s ex?by Amanda HenryPoor Jennifer. She tries to escape the stress of divorcing Brad by throwing herself into her work — only to sign on for a series of movies withart-imitates-life titles: Derailed, Rumor Has It and now, The Break-Up. But things may be getting better, as rumors continue to swirl about the seriousness of the sitcom sweetheart’s relationship with her latest co-star, Vince Vaughn. Which prompts a question: how do Pitt and Vaughn stack up against each other? We thought we’d check ‘em out on some key elements.# HometownBrad: Born in Oklahoma. Raised in Missouri, apparently the Show-Me-Your-Pecs state.Vince: Born in Minneapolis. Raised on the outskirts of Chicago, home of pizza with a very thick crust.# Vital StatsBrad: He’s a respectable (and rare for Hollywood) six feet, which is why Tom Cruise has never been photographed with him.Vince: At 6′5", Vaughn is quite the tall drink of Pabst Blue Ribbon.# Personal StyleBrad: It changes with the lady du jour; currently a punk/Goth hybrid, complete with faux-hawk. No vials of blood as of yet, though.Vince: Frat boy with a trust fund.# Famous FriendsBrad: World leaders, various international architects … you’re getting sleepy, very sleepy …Vince: Owen Wilson, Jon Favreau, Ben Stiller… chugalug, dudes!# Famous Ex-LoversBrad: Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, and, of course, Jennifer Aniston.Vince: Um, does Joey Lauren Adams still count as famous?# Breakthrough RoleBrad: The shirtless himbo in Thelma and Louise, where he enjoys therapeutic sex with Geena Davis.Vince: The smooth-talking former child star in Swingers, where he enjoys therapeutic martinis.# Big-Screen MistakeBrad: Playing Death in the interminable and downright silly Meet Joe Black.Vince: Playing an outlaw in Dwight Yoakam’s backyard Western South of Heaven, West of Hell.# Common CreditsBrad and Vince: 21 Jump Street (though not the same episode) and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where Vaughn is Pitt’s wisecracking best bud/fellow assassin … even though he still lives with Mom.# Oscar OddsBrad: Was nominated for 12 Monkeys. But too often lets his hair do the work.Vince: Sure. As soon as they create a category like Best Onscreen Belch.# Box-office CloutBrad: With Cruise in La La Land and Tom Hanks sporting that weird mullet, he’s the biggest male movie star around.Vince: V.V. and co. have discovered a goldmine in lowbrow dude movies. Old School 2, anyone?# Humanitarian WorkBrad: Holding orphans or Angelina’s hand at various world summits.Vince: Saving mortified ex-wives from the horror of being alone.
I like Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, both have great comedic timing and are very funny - Vince more so than Jennifer. I am looking forward to seeing The Break Up.However, no question, Angelina is more beautiful and talented. Angelina’s parents are both gorgeous, still very attractive for their age and have aged very well. Jon Voigt was an Oscar winning actor and a fantastic performer.Angelina has fantastic range in box office and independent movies of all types and roles. She is a humanitarian and donates a large percentage of her salary to causes which interest her. I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of her in the last six months wearing makeup or anything but the most basic clothes and yet she is so beautiful. She doesn’t look like the type who needs Mystic Tan and daily trips to the gym but instead toiling out in the African sun and walking with her children on the streets of Paris. So she is/was weird and quirky and went through a wild stage. A lot of us did, so what? Motherhood has changed her, like it changes a lot of people. Jennifer Aniston comes from two moderately attractive parents who are long time soap opera actors. She was average looking in high school, certainly attractive enough but nothing special. She has close set eyes, a big nose, big jaw, huge chin and dark wiry hair. Even today with all the improvements she can’t touch the beauty of an untouched barefaced Angelina Jolie.

God - will jen just go away already? It is so apparent that her fan base is dwindling into obscurity. My advice to her would be to buy some big house far away. The constant grasping for acceptance is just killing her so-so-image. Brad needed a woman not a little girl. God she is so annoying - somewhat like the teenager who whines constantly - me me me. Grow-the-hell-up Jen Jen.
God almighty…….to the person who has posted the last 25 posts ……. all negitive….trying to pretent they are different people………YOU ARE SO TRANSPARENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go **** YOURSELF! Maybe then you’ll get over the hard-on you have for Jennifer Aniston! She’s NOT GOING TO GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH IT YOU STUPID *****! You seriously need MENTAL HELP as soon as possible to get over your fixation and to GET A REAL LIFE—-ONE THAT DOESN’T CENTER AROUND CELEBRITES YOU WILL NEVER EVEN MEET. NOW STFU YOU STUPID *****!
I didn’t find her as irritating as I do now until the breakup between her and Brad Pitt, something which she’s milked for all it’s worth, despite her protestations to the contrary. (If you don’t really want to talk about your divorce, you just don’t give any interviews until it’s all said and done, instead of giving dozens, but each time talking about how it’s painful and how you don’t want to talk about it.) She IS in pursuit of maximum fame, instead of increased artistry, and her recent roles evince it.http://letters.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2006/06/02/breakup/view/
# 137 | interestingc You’re so jealous of Jennifer Aniston is pathetic. You come in on her thread and post after post say the same tired things, over and over. Can’t you come up with something orginial just for a change? My god ***** you’re getting to sound like a broken record. Why don’t you plop yourself back down in Brangelina land and ou and au over nothing like you do each day, every day of your empty pathetic little life. Now go away and STFU already. KK????
I just saw TBU and it was bad. Really bad, but not as bad as Bewitched. Maybe my opinion has been colored by my dislike for JA, the bad reviews, and some bloggers who are salivating at JA’s potentially doomed career, but I am a romantic comedy fan, and this one was bad. The screenplay was bad, their chemistry was bad, although the photos shown during the opening credits projected the energy and chemistry the rest of the movie lacked. The supporting characters weren’t developed or at all funny, although it was nice to see Jon F. and Vince’s dad, although he played JA’s father. The best part of the movie was the last scene with Vince and Jon. For once, Jon was allowed to be the inappropriate one and it suited him. I also liked the Tone Rangers rendition of ‘Rainbow Connection’, but that played during the end credits. I understand that Vince wanted to deviate from the recent trend/formula in romantic comedies, meaning a ridiculous, contrived premise, but the gags and tricks in TBU were ridiculous and contrived. And JA’s character desire for VV’s character to read her mind and submit to her machinations brought back the Ross and Rachel saga, which completely turned me off to her. Yes, Vince has a story credit, but I seriously doubt that JA was completely shut out from the screenplay/ improvisation aspect of the movie. Why didn’t she say something about this potential comparison? And that, in a nutshell, is my problem with JA. She constantly goes with the flow, in terms of her career choices (IMO, BP falls under that category, as well as VV), and doesn’t open her mouth about the important stuff until after the fact. And JA isn’t hurting for money… she can wait for a good vehicle to come along. Yes, actresses are hurting for decent material, but what is more important, doing a good job while giving the audience a good time or remaining constantly and lacklustery, if that’s a word, in the spotlight?
piper…… as soon as I read your first line……..I STOPPED READING. Too long and full of negatives right from the start……..boring!So your little movie review was all in vain. NO ONE here will read it! I’m sure most of it was copied from somewhere else cause your other 25 to 30 posts on here are not suprisingly full of errors and stupidity. Cause THAT’S YOU. What does surprises me is that you have the stamina, will, hate fueled personality, and TIME to continue writing post after post AGAINST Jennifer Aniston. You are a person full of anger who is despertely needing professional help. I realize that you think that if she doesn’t exist anymore everyone will look favorably on herpes holie. Not gonna happen. Most of us just didn’t like that home wrecking ***** before she met Pitt. Now she’s even more unliked. So go post your long, boring, hate filled reviews somewhere where everyone is full of hate ……JUST LIKE YOU.
#138 uu rr a moron **I did not write what was posted. I found it on Salon.com. http://letters.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2006/06/02/breakup/view/ Go to the site and read what people who are not Brangelina fans think of JA. Reality Check - Normal people who could care less about JA/BP/AJ are now catching on to her act (and I don’t mean her acting).
#140| isabella’Scuse me, isabella *****, but that was my first post on this thread. You’re not very sharp, but you’re certainly a tool!!Now that was hateful. See the difference?
So many mature and insightful comments. Really warms my heart.
As a matter of fact I did just return from seeing The Break Up. Several ‘Vaughnisms’ later I am happy to report it was a very entertaining film. My husband is on a deep sea fishing trip and I saw it with one of our friends–and he clearly enjoyed the film, too. It’s not a chick flick for even so much as a second and Vince’s character is a guy’s guy. There is also plenty of chemistry between Vince and Jen–just not the gratuitous,stereotypical kind we’ve come to half-expect in movies. More like the kind we all have or hope to experience, and not the over-the-top lusty come-on crap that so many films rely on today.I’m not trying to pick a fight–just saying there are plenty of women, myself included, who would pick VV over Brad without thinking twice about it. As Vince has said in interviews, he’s "private about his stuff" and his character really comes across that way. I think VV helped write the love scenes in TBU in such a way they didn’t need to be rolling around together on screen just to prove to some peeping toms that they are a hot couple. You could feel their connection without it. If you don’t want to see it–don’t. But it’s stupid to bash a film that you haven’t even seen just because some catty crtic may have said something that you quote, hoping to sound slick. I’m pretty picky about what I spend my entertainment $ on–and I have no regrets about my $10.
THE BREAK UPThough will not see this movie , I hope it will make a decent show at the box office.Movies must make money to recover expenses for PR,salaries etc. VV got some of his closest friends in it, not a guarantee but it helps. As ffor JA,another stab for that elusive stardom.Hope she spare the baby, when she starts that blame game and pity parties if this movie tanks.She de-Pitt the guy, Now Brad is having a JOLIE time of his life……..
From a friend of mine, who went to the Break Up:Well… you will be happy to know that I wasted 20 bucks to see the very terriblemovie, The Breakup. Even though I think Jennifer is a jerk, for some reason, I still think I am going to like her movies… but mainly, I just really like VinceVaughn… he is crazy! The movie was awful… it was actually like watching yourbest friend and her boyfriend (who you also care about) fight and say and do reallyhurtful things to each other for 2 hours. I was waiting for that to become funny,but it never did. I think Jennifer Aniston should thank her lucky stars that thewriters of Friends were so talented… or she would be a nobody right now. She actually made Vince Vaughn unfunny… I understood her argument, but the issue wastoo real to be funny. What is funny about being ignored by your husband while hewatches ESPN while you are slaving away for the dinner party? Nothing… and thereis nothing funny about the fight that happens or the breakup. It would have beendifferent if they fought because he had the bad habit of jumping up and down on the bed with the kids like in Mrs. Doubtfire.
I LIKE JEN ANISTON , BUT HER MATERIAL AS OF LATE HAS BEEN, I HATE TO SAY IT AWFUL, DERAILED SUCKED, RUMOR HAS IT WORST, AND I SAW THE BREAK UP, REALLY BAD, THE ONLY SO SO ONE WAS FRIENDS WITH MONEY. I REALLY THINK SHE IS GETTING TOO OVEREXPOSED, SHE WAS GREAT IN FRIENDS,AND THE GOOD GIRL, BUT HER PAST OTHER MOVIES, WERE SO BAD, ALONG CAME POLLY WAS BAD TOO. SHE SHOULD JUST TAKE A VACATION, RELAX, SHE DOESN’T NEED TO LINE UP 15 SUCKY MOVIES NOBODY WANTS TO SEE, (CUZ YOU KNOW SHE’S GOT ANOTHER 15 LINED UP IN THE NEXT YR. ) PLEASE JEN GO ON VACATION, NOT ONLY FOR YOU BUT FOR US TOO. AS FOR BRANGELINA I;M HAPPY THEY ARE HAPPY, THEY REALLY ARE WONDERFUL PARENTS TO THEIR KIDS, GOD BLESS THEM, BEST OF LUCK TO VINCE AND JEN AND BRAD AND ANGIE, I DO WONDER WHEN WILL JEN HAVE BABY, SHE IS NEARLY 40, I GUESS AS SHE ALWAYS SAYS "IT WILL HAPPEN, IN THE FUTURE, WHEN SHE’S LIKE 50.
