I don't think I've ever been so amused and depressed by the same movie before. So much was made of Aniston's performance, and she is good, but she is just one player in a well cast film. In fact, she may have the easiest role in the film, as she is required to play most scenes devoid of expression or emotion. It is the situations that surround her that make the movie so funny, and much credit must be given to the supporting cast for making these situations seem so believable. But it is Aniston's sad character, sick of her surroundings and life, yet unwilling to change it, that makes for a depressing story. Even though there are plenty of laughs while watching the film, it will not leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling when it's done.
