Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAllegedly, Jennifer Aniston had a hard time working with Jay Mohr and was mean to him. Mohr subtly referred to the incident in a 2010 interview : "Being on the set of a movie where the leading woman was unhappy with my presence and made it clear from day one." He later said in his Mohr Stories podcast that Aniston pointed right at him on the first day of rehearsal and screamed: "Six guys they screen-test! SIX ... The one f*****g guy I hate, that's the guy they hire. HIM!" Mohr alleges she returned to the soundstage after using the restroom and immediately continued haranguing him: "SIX!" This apparently "went on the entire day" as Aniston kept bad-mouthing him to costar Illeana Douglas. To sum up, Mohr swears "Jennifer Aniston was so f*****g mean to me."

Featured review
nice moments in a cut-above romcom
It may be unfair to label Picture Perfect a RomCom. It certainly sits at the less frivolous, more acutely observed end of the spectrum within the genre. There are some small but brilliant moments here, mostly to do with rom rather than com. When Aniston attends the wedding and the bouquet is to be thrown, she steps forward to find herself the only single woman in the room. It is quite poignant, and her retort - "Oh, just hand me the damn thing!" - plays the scene out beautifully. The fight in the restaurant, when it does come, is a masterclass in infusing sub-text into dialogue. Aninston holds it all together with ease, Kevin Bacon is superbly vacuous as the office beefcake, and Jay Mohr does a decent shift, especially when called upon to hint at deeper feelings for career-driven Kate. The ending reverts to by-the-numbers RomCom proceedings, but there is enough in the build-up to have you give up some smiles and tears that you'll feel the film earned.
