Let me start by saying that if I were gay, I would be insulted to sit through this film. Friends star Jennifer Aniston competently plays a woman who falls for a sensitive gay man played by Paul Rudd, who becomes quite annoying by the film's second half.

Object of My Affection is overloaded with situations that don't seem resolved by the film's end. It's also chalk-full of stereotypes and characters who don't have any chemistry. In fact, there was only one couple in this film that made sense. I couldn't figure out how most of the characters in this movie fell in love with each other in the first place. All the relationships in this film are rushed. One second, two characters are shaking hands, the next second, there in the sack together.

Writer Wendy Wasserstein and director Nicolas Hytner don't have much of an eye for detail or political correctness either. While pregnant, the Aniston character proceeds to smoke, drink, and ride a roller coaster. Now I don't like to preach, but as a soon-to-be father, I think that's just plain stupid! Wasserstein also deals with too many issues. She should have picked one issue, like Aniston and Rudd's relationship and developed it so that it made sense. Instead, we get this muddled mess! Most importantly, Object of My Affection lacks the honesty that make films like Chasing Amy and Philadelphia work so well. Aniston is better than this stuff!
