Last updated: 11/10/2006 - 16:00
Best known for the American TV series Friends Jennifer Aniston stars in quite a differnet role.
The Good Girl
The Good Girl is the story of Justine – played by Jennifer Aniston (TV’s Friends, Along Came Polly, Bruce Almighty) – a woman who longs to have a child with her husband Phil – played by John C. Reilly - but has so far been unable to conceive.
"As a girl, you see the world like a giant candy store.” This is one of the first things we hear from Justine, the title character. Justine, though, is no longer a girl – she is grown up, married and longs for a life more fulfilling than the one she leads with her house painter husband, Phil, and his ever-present buddy, Bubba.
Sexual Awakening
Justine discovers something of a soul mate in her co-worker, Holden – played by Jake Gyllenhaal - a creative, passionate young man who represents a chance for her to escape into a new world of emotional and sexual awakening. But when the affair quickly moves from liberation to weird obsession, Justine finds herself ensnared in a chaotic web of blackmail, larceny and love...all at the Retail Rodeo.
Is Justine ultimately a good girl? Can she make the right choice between her dependable husband and disturbed lover? Written by Mike White and directed by Miguel Arteta, The Good Girl gives Aniston the chance to create a character with the complexity of a present-day suburban Emma Bovary.
