Casting


The film was ok but I just couldn't get over Jennifer Aniston's character. She was so badly miscast that it ruined the film for me. They needed someone like a Rosie O'Donnell to play that character instead of Jennifer Aniston.

Just wondering what others thought?

You cannot be serious.

Wow...no.

Aniston was perfectly cast in this.

exactly. not only did i think why is she this, i thought why is her character even in this??

I think she was perfect and this was her best performance. It is really the only one where she doesn't yield to that cheesy comedy. She should do more indie films. This was also shot during an emotional time of her life (break up with Brad Pitt) and that may have added to her character feeling low and isolated.

Scott Caan is the only miscast.

She's at least ten years younger than Frances McDormand. And also at least five years younger than the others, but it seemed to work for the most part. She played low income women in Office Space-as a casual restaurant waitress, and she was a discount store clerk in The Good Girl, so I thought the maid role was believable.

No, no. Casting an overweight woman for such a role would have been so obvious and such a cliché. Casting a pretty woman was the right way to go and I think she did a great job.
