Plot Synopsis is a lie


I understand maintaining the charade until the twist... but the plot synopsis is an outright lie.

I don't know if I've seen that before but that's *beep* stupid and unnecessary.

Good to know.

2004. When making this movie, Aniston first finds out Brad is in love with another woman. She had a lot to deal with. Also around the same time, Ben broke up with JLo and she too had to pull it together to get through Shall We Dance.

Derailed was a bust. Aniston is either miscast or gives a weak performance. She’s a lukewarm femme fatale and wasn’t at the level of her leads, Clive Owen or Vincent Cassel. Yet, Aniston was very good in The Good Girl.
