Why can't Jennifer Aniston find a decent movie to star in? Not that
Management was indecent, or even
that bad, but it was just . . . okay. Which is the assessment I would give every other Jennifer Aniston movie I've seen. Some have been sweet, some have been funny, some have been entertaining--most have been a mix of all three--but there's not an Instant Classic or even a New Favorite among them. Well,
Office Space is a contender. But I argue that it's the script of that movie that is the genius of its soul, and Joanna the Waitress could have been played by any number of cute twenty-something actresses.
Anyway,
Management is not
Office Space. But it is somewhat sweet and somewhat funny and, for what it is (a cautionary tale against feeding a stray puppy that you don't really want to keep), it's a relatively worthwhile way of helping to pass the time while folding laundry or washing dishes.
By the way, is it just me, or does Steve Zahn look weirdly like Michael J Fox in this picture?
I looked at the picture before I read your review and also thought it was Michael J Fox, but much younger than he is now so of course couldn't be him. Weird though.
ReplyDeleteIt is weird, especially considering the fact that Steve Zahn doesn't really look much like MJF generally.
