Are there a ton of stars in this movie? Yes.
Is it a musical? Kind of...
Is it weird? YES.
The genres of musical/comedy both feel like a bit of a stretch for this eccentric 2005 movie. Starring Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Mandy Moore, Mary-Louise Parker, and MANY other recognizable names - this is one that left us scratching our heads wondering how the heck so many people signed on for this movie! Despite it all, we have to admit that Kate went full send on her firey mistress character.

In The Life of David Gale, Kate Winslet is a reporter getting an exclusive scoop on the events that lead up to a man landing on death row. The catch? He has spent his entire career as an anti-death-row activist. Smells fishy, right? We were a little surprised by how swept up we were in this drama, as the whole movie is a race against time while Kate tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Co-starring with the always incredible Laura Linney, Kevin Spacey (whose character's actions certainly continue to not age well), and an opera-loving-always-lurking-cowboy (Matt Craven) - come along with us as we review this dark thriller/mystery/drama and find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet films!

Finding Neverland stars Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Freddie Highmore and is based on the true story of the penning of Peter Pan. Though it may stray from historical facts, the movie is charming, fantastical, and moving. This is a 'kid's movie' that adults can equally enjoy and we just loved it. Listen here to find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies!

1800's England, two cousins... what could go wrong? Apparently everything. Join us this week as we review Jude. Despite wanting to yell "what is wrong with you! no!" at the screen the whole time while watching this, we agreed the disastrous plot was actually engaging. Kate's character frustratingly waffles on her morals the entire time, everything looks damp and cold, and we both cried. Find out where Jude ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies by listening to this episode!

Two more early kid's movies from Kate Winslet are being reviewed this week! Faeries was Kate's first voice-over animated role - a fantastical premise set in a tiny world in the woods. A Kid in King Arthur's Court was Kate's second movie and surprisingly features a bowl-cut-laden medieval Daniel Craig. We think Kate and Daniel deserve a re-do as co-stars as they've gone on to do such amazing things! Listen to hear how these early showings stack up against Kate's other 44 movies!

The 2001 romance drama, Iris, captures the life of novelist Iris Murdoch between flashbacks of her youth and her present-day battle with Alzheimer's. This movie's poignant and effective tug on the heartstrings is no doubt a testament to the stellar cast including Kate Winslet, Dame Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville, and Penelope Wilton. This film is melancholy, but it packs a punch in just over 90 minutes. Tune in to hear how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies!

Buckle up for possibly our favorite episode of the season reviewing A Christmas Carol (... :The Movie) and Buttons (.... :A Christmas Tale). One is a classic holiday story, with a ~twist~ including mice, distractingly poor animation, and a UK chart-topping single by Kate Winslet herself! The other is like watching a community theater production - what year is it? why are the background characters mouthing the words of lines that are not theirs? it's a musical?! Kate only has one line and then ISN'T IN THE MOVIE?! In other words - it's wholesome but not good and we cried laughing while recording the episode and you absolutely don't want to miss it!

Little Children (2006), starring Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly, and Noah Emmerich, is a drama/romance/thriller (?) following an unhappy pair of suburbanites engaging in an affair while the community reacts to a recently released felon.

Two upper middle-class couples try too hard to do the polite, politically correct thing by working through a disagreement between their sons in Carnage, ultimately devolving and revealing their true feelings about themselves, their partners, and their kids - with no productive outcome.

Kate Winslet's oscar-winning performance in The Reader was both disturbing and thought provoking. Such complicated feelings present as The Reader ultimately makes you question - at what point does someone not go along with the status quo? Do you speak up to help someone, even when they are guilty of terrible things? Did they age Kate Winslet's feet, or was it a foot double...?
Listen in to hear the breakdown of this award winning movie, all of our complicated feelings on it, and how Kate's chilling character influenced the overall ranking of The Reader out of her 46 movies.

Enigma takes us back to Bletchley Park's world famous code breakers during WWII - and a mystery, a mole, and a race against time. Kate Winslet's character is one we have come to know and love from Kate - smart, witty, bold, and a bit reckless at times - wrapped up in an unassuming package.
While this movie came out 13 years before the wildly popular Imitation Game, Enigma seems to be far less known. Tune in to hear our thoughts on why that might be, and how it stacks up against all 46 Kate Winslet movies.

This week we're reviewing THREE children's movies starring Kate Winslet! The first is Pride, a BBC TV movie released in 2004. This movie boasts a large cast with Helen Mirren, Rupert Graves, Martin Freeman, and Robbie Coltrane starring alongside Kate! While this just seems like a lackluster attempt at recreating The Lion King, we did love seeing real nature shots and hearing about how they made this live-action movie.
The second movie is The Fox and the Child featuring those two titular characters and no one else in a feel-good kids movie that Anne describes as "like a hug."
Last AND (spoiler alert) least of the day is the 2019 animated film Swift that just made us wonder why Willem Dafoe and Kate Winslet agreed to be in it.

This week we have a two-for-one episode reviewing two 1700's period pieces set in France - A Little Chaos (2014) and Quills (2000). A Little Chaos was directed by and stars the late and great Alan Rickman alongside Kate Winslet. Quills co-stars a Girl Crush Pod co-star favorite, Joquin Phoenix, and the incredible Geoffrey Rush - both of which received accolades for their performances.

Kate Winslet just won a 2023 BAFTA for her leading role in I Am Ruth which is part of an anthology featuring women's stories. This movie (or "episode") focuses on the mental health impacts of social media, particularly on young women. It is especially moving as Kate is acting alongside her own children, most notably her daughter Mia Threapleton.
We found this story raw, relevant, and incredibly emotionally moving. If you haven't already seen it, we recommend it, though it's difficult to stream in the US so we will be sure to give you the full details here!

Sometimes, a movie just reminds you of other movies without leaving much of its own impression on you. This Means War (2012) is that movie. Despite starring (of course) Reese, Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Chelsea Handler, and Jenny Slate, we spent more time discussing paintballing and our own lies we'd tell if we had to hide our identities as secret agents.

Today's episode is all about the 1998 noir-like drama Twilight. No, not the vampire one, though this somewhat boring/confusing plot could benefit from the excitement a vampire would bring! Even though this movie wasn't our favorite, this episode is still bound to entertain you...between our critiques we talk all-inclusive resorts, best buffalo wings, and a girl crush fave Margo Martindale. Find out how this movie ranks vs every other Reese Witherspoon movie!

Available to watch for free on YouTube, we did not have high hopes for this tv movie with the longest title ever! Desperate Choices: To Save My Child is a 1992 drama based off a true story starring Joanna Kerns, Bruce Davison, and Joseph Mazzello alongside a young Reese Witherspoon. We were pleasantly surprised by this film, which was nominated for two Young Artist Awards, but we DO enjoy Lifetime movies as a general genre so if you disagree with our ratings on this one - we get it.
Tune in to see what we liked about this movie and how it stacks up in the rankings!

Scheming, crime, a giant leopard fur coat, Reese Witherspoon, and Josh Brolin come together for an entertaining, albeit underwhelming film in the 1999 drama Best Laid Plans. What the protagonist lacked in likability, Reese made up for with her acting - another instance where she truly shines in the 90's!

This week we review the 2015 comedy Hot Pursuit starring Reese Witherspoon alongside Sofia Vergara. These leading ladies have a fun chemistry, but even they cannot quite save this film. We've seen the slapstick cop comedy before, and this one just isn't up to par. In this episode we discuss the silly plot, Reese's acting, and compare this to other movies in a similar genre. This film got a 35% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes...tune in to find out how we rate it on Girl Crush Podcast!

This week we bring it back to the 1800s with two period pieces!
First, we review the 2004 film Vanity Fair starring James Purefoy alongside Reese Witherspoon in this period film based off of a novel. This oh-so-boring plot was made better by the strength of Reese's acting! Listen to find out how we balance an underwhelming plot with good acting in our rankings.
Next up is another 1800s written work turned film - the 2002 film The Importance of Being Earnest. Colin Firth and Judi Dench round out a strong cast alongside Reese Witherspoon. Despite Reese having a smaller role in this movie, we found the plot to be a lot more engaging than Vanity Fair!
Tune in to hear how we rate these films on our 5 categories: Plot, Character, Acting, Would You Watch Again, and this season's bonus category Whiskey Tea Cups (aka Sass).

When we say we had very LOW expectations for this 1991 TV movie starring Patricia Arquette alongside Reese Witherspoon, they were very... very... low given our experience with other early tv movies in our girl crush's filmography (please reference: Sandra Bullock's Early Crime Movies episode from season 2!) . Reese's 90's movies delivered once again, though, as we were both very engaged with this heart-warming period piece directed by Diane Keaton. Listen to hear how this movie ranks out of Reese's 41 movies!

This week we are exploring the 1999 cult classic - Election. This dark comedy sealed the deal for Reese’s eventual casting in Legally Blonde, so you know she pulls out all the stops in her role as Tracy Flick. We love that while this movie is over the top, it also provides some empathetic, introspective moments (and some great freeze frames)!

Today's episode brings us to a film that's sweet and heartwarming, albeit slightly melancholy - Wrestling Ernest Hemingway. In this movie, two older gentlemen (played by Robert Duvall and Richard Harris) become the most unlikely of friends. Sandra Bullock plays a sweet diner waitress with a soft spot for her regulars.

When we say we watch EVERY movie in one actress's filmography...we mean it. And we're proving that here with our reviews of two mockumentaries that Sandra Bullock made tiny (like... teeny tiny) appearances in.

We've deduced a few things from reviewing these films, but our largest takeaway is we hate mockumentaries. Tune in to hear our thoughts and how we consider these in the context of Sandra Bullock movies.

The time has come to review one of our personal favorites in Sandra Bullock's filmography! We are digging into the iconic '09 rom-com The Proposal. A star-studded cast including Ryan Reynolds, Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, Craig Nelson, and Oscar Nunez deliver one of (dare we say it?) the greatest rom-coms of all time. They just don't make them like this anymore!
Join us as we dissect Sandra Bullock's ponytail, swoon over Ryan Reynolds, hail Betty White, and giggle incessantly in this episode. You already know we love this film, but how did we score it on our 5 categories? Where does it fall in the ranks? Listen to this episode to find out!

Did you know Sandra Bullock has bee in TWO movies set in Bolivia? In today's episode, we'll be reviewing both!
Fire on the Amazon, released in 1993, finds Sandra Bullock alongside Craig Sheffer investigating a murder with a rainforest preservation group. This movie has an intriguing description, but the execution fell way flat.
Our Brand is Crisis is a 2015 film based on the true story of a seasoned campaign strategist who's lured out of retirement to work for an unlikable senator running for president of Bolivia. In this movie, Sandra Bullock plays the campaign manager alongside Anthony Mackie, Ann Dowd, and Billy Bob Thornton. This movie was much better than Fire on the Amazon, & had a great balance of a serious, engaging plot with some moments of levity sprinkled in.
Tune in to hear all the details on these two movies & where they fall in our rankings!

Did you know Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock were in a movie together? Because before this podcast, we did not!
Join us as review the 2000 movie Gun Shy. The mob and the cartel come together in this movie in what ends up being quite a confusing plot. Liam Neeson’s stomach issues and a couple slapstick action scenes sprinkle some humor in to the film…but not quite enough to boost this movie in the rankings.

Join us as we review the 2000 drama 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock alongside Viggo Mortensen. In this movie Gwen first appears as fun-loving, but we quickly realize she’s out of control and in denial of her addiction. We follow her to court-ordered rehab which she struggles to take seriously. After she gets to know her fellow residents, she opens up to the possibility of a different life.
Though criticized by some for the way it portrays addiction, we found this film to be touching and engaging. Tune in to find out how we rate this movie compared to every other Sandy B film!

Is there anything more relatable than being in love with a stranger from afar, saving his life, and subsequently being mistaken for his fiancee as he lays in a coma? Okay maybe, but we've all dreamt about it, right?
That's what you get in the 1995 movie While You Were Sleeping starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. In this episode, we dive into why this unrealistic rom-com feels so relatable and nostalgic! Check out the full episode to find out how we rated this film in each of our 5 categories (Plot, Sandra Bullock's Character, Sandra's Acting, Sandra's level of "Boss Babe," and Would You Watch Again) AND how this ranks against every other Sandy B movie!

Join us as we review Infamous, aa 2006 drama based on George Plimpton's 1997 book Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career . The film covers Capote's journey to writing his book In Cold Blood which is based off of a small-town murder. Toby Jones plays Capote alongside Daniel Craig as Perry and Sandra Bullock as Nelle Harper Lee (who you know as the author of To Kill A Mockingbird).
The film boasts a large, well-known cast, but we found it to be slow and a bit boring. Tune in to our full episode to hear how we rated this movie & how it stacks up in our ranking of every Sandra Bullock film!

The Vanishing is a 1993 mystery thriller starring Jeff Bridges, Kiefer Sutherland, and our girl Sandra Bullock. While Sandra herself is not in the majority of this movie, her character looms larger than life throughout. This movie might not be an absolute must-watch but the creepy and twisting plot keeps you on your toes and can make you jump and squirm!
Join us this week as we talk about survival techniques, what our significant others would do if we disappeared (😅), and this overlooked Sandra movie!

Last episode we reviewed the iconic 1994 film, Speed. Now it's time to review the letdown of a sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control. Speed 2 loses Keanu Reeves and picks up the slowest motorized vehicle possible...both equally devastating changes. The chemistry between Bullock and co-star Jason Patric leaves much to be desired. Willem Dafoe plays the villain, and while very creepy, the story just wasn't built out to create the tension of the original. Speed 2 is not even a slow burn. It's just dead in the water.
With all that said, you gotta tune in to hear how this film ranks against every other Sandra Bullock film!

The time has come to review what’s widely regarded as Sandra Bullock’s breakout film, Speed! Starring Keanu Reeves alongside Sandra, this action-thriller has everything you could want…amazing chemistry between the leads, a tension-filled plot, people coming together in the face of disaster, and a bus jumping 50 feet of unfinished highway.
Tune into hear how this film ranks against every other Sandra Bullock film, our thoughts on why this movie is such a classic, and reminiscing on Keanu in his prime.

What do a Barnes & Noble Cashier, a Matisse painting, a fish factory, and a cement truck have in common? Check out Two if by Sea to find out! This 1996 "romantic comedy" features Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary as their characters grapple with moral obligation, slight identity crises, and a blossoming love of art (and each other?). While there were things we liked about this movie, it tries to do a LOT in 90 minutes and we definitely have thoughts on what would've made it better (plus an alternate ending idea)!

Bullock goes bionic! Join us as we review the 1989 film with the longest title ever, Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. This is Sandra Bullock's second movie, and we have to say there's a clear step up from her first movie which we reviewed last episode.
This film features some lovable 80's music, dialogue, and costumes that elevates this otherwise confusing movie and subpar plot to quite the enjoyable watch! And do we see a hint of Sandra Bullock's iconic physical comedy/facial expressions? Tune in to hear all our thoughts & find out how this movie ranks against every other Sandra Bullock movie!

We’re going WAY back, to Sandra Bullock’s first movie ever! The 1987 film Hangmen is literally the WORST movie we have ever seen. Not just for Girl Crush Podcast…actually ever. The horrible video quality of watching on YouTube certainly did not help, but woof, this is a tough one! A young Sandra Bullock plays Lisa, the girlfriend of Danny who’s dad is caught up in some serious CIA stuff. Tune in for our thoughts on this plot and on Sandra’s film debut.
We hope you enjoy our take on this terrible film! Probably no surprise where this one ranks out of all 48 Sandra Bullock movies 😅

Join us for what is perhaps our most contentious episode! We have very different opinions of the 2018 Netflix Original Bird Box starring Sandra Bullock and Trevante Rhodes. Anne thinks the plot leaves too much unexplained..too many unanswered questions! Ally thinks it’s easy to accept the unexplained and be moved by the tense storyline. We CAN agree on a few things including Sarah Paulson deserved more screen time, Trevante Rhodes=yes, and of course Sandra Bullock’s acting (blindfolded?!) was amazing. So what does that mean for the ratings?? Tune in to find out how we ranked Bird Box against every other Sandy B movie!

Join us as we review the two animated films Sandra Bullock has starred in - The Prince of Egypt and Minions!
The Prince of Egypt (1998) features Sandra Bullock as Miriam, the sister of Moses. We found her voice instantly recognizable, though we were disappointed she wasn't the one to sing in this musical rendition of the Old Testament Bible story. In Minions (2015), Sandra Bullock plays feminist villain Scarlett Overkill. Sandy sports a lower tone of voice, displaying an ability to act with her voice & leaving us wondering why she doesn't do more animated films!

Join us as we review the 1995 action thriller The Net starring Sandra Bullock and Jeremy Northam. In this film, programmer Angela Bennett (played by Sandy) accidentally gets caught in a cyberterrorism plot and has to fight for her life and the truth. We hadn't heard of this movie, but we were pumped to find a fun 90's action movie with an action-packed plot we could follow. Lots of great 90's computer graphics will have you searching online for a floppy disk of Oregon Trail to re-live the glory days.

Come on down to Nashville, y’all! This week we are reviewing the 1993 “romantic drama”, The Thing Called Love. We were so pumped reading the country music synopsis from this movie, but were ultimately disappointed with a plot that just didn't quite deliver. Regardless, Sandra shines in her supporting role and, in our opinion, steals the show with her personality, strong acting, and southern hair.

After searching every corner of the internet (and the world!) and enlisting help from family, friends, and strangers, we FINALLY got our hands on the 1998 mockumentary The Thin Pink Line. We give the details on how we finally found the DVD, break down the odd & pretty offensive plot, discuss the many A-listers featured, and theorize why this has been scrubbed from the internet and the United States entirely.
Now that we’ve seen The Thin Pink Line, we’ve officially seen EVERY film Jennifer Aniston has ever been in! We would love to hear from anyone who has watched this movie, and hear how you found it!

Life of Crime came out of left field to take a top spot on the Jen list. Don't let the 2014 release date fool you, this unique crime film set in the 1970s is full of twists and solid character development with a very satisfying end. While this may not be everyone’s personal favorite, our rating system doesn’t lie, and Jennifer Aniston delivers once again! Help us celebrate our first season of Girl Crush, and be on the lookout for bonus eps soon!

We’re the Millers is a film we watch again and again (and again). Jennifer Aniston is SO convincing of her character pretending to play another character, the soundtrack is great, and you're guaranteed to laugh out loud. Do not recommend driving an RV to Mexico, but if you do - don’t ask Jason Sudeikis to drive.

One of our favorite duos stars in The Switch, as we narrow in on the final episodes of season one of Girl Crush! Watching Jason Bateman cry makes you question everything you know and love, and Jennifer Aniston serves up a very loveable role. A classic friend-zone-to-baby-daddy plot (is that a classic plot? It should be), this feel good rom com is an absolute must for your regular rotation.

Go to the bathroom before this stop on the #JenJourney, because you cannot miss a single second without missing something. Jennifer Aniston plays a pretty hilarious (though questionable?) therapist who lands in a tangled story web amongst stars like Owen Wilson and Kathryn Hahn in the film She’s Funny That Way. If the “they don’t know that we know that they know” Friends episode were a movie, this would be it.

Join us on our #JenJourney back to the 90s! We review the film #PicturePerfect in this episode. Arguably a caricature of the accepted sexism in the 90s, but still this film is the quintessential rom-com, perfect for any girls night! Jennbifer Aiston's character Kate balances her ambition and integrity which are at odds in this boss babe film. #TBT to 90s hair, fashion, and landlines! Listen to find out how this one stacks up against other Jennifer Aniston movies!

It’s time for Christmas on our #JenJourney! A star studded cast goes off the rails with a cocaine cannon and an escort service plot detour in the 2016 film Office a Christmas Party. This is a super entertaining and laugh out loud film (as it should be with approximately 10,000 comedians in the cast). Jennifer Aniston pulls off another horrible-boss-esque character, though with only one hair style. Worth putting on your holiday rotation, especially if you love Jason Bateman and Kate McKinnon as much as we do!

Our #JenJourney brings us to the 1999 film Office Space. Jennifer Aniston plays Joanna, the love interest of main character Peter. 90s nostalgia, relatable workplace woes, and comedic subplots help to combat a slow-moving film with some plot holes. We may have fallen asleep the first time we watched this...but we do have respect for this cult classic.

Jennifer Aniston’s acting is the highlight of the film The Good Girl, playing a dark and troubled Texas woman. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a man child who writes stories on notebook paper, lives with his parents, and thinks Chuckie Cheese is an appropriate place for an affair meet-up. Attempted murder and Zooey Deschanel also make guest appearances during this stop on the #JenJourney. We are impressed that this film came out during the height of Friends popularity! Plot is a little slow, but give it a watch on a rainy day if it's ever on TV.

Our #JenJourney brings us to another star-studded film with a multi-narrative plot - He's Just Not That Into You. An infuriating affair and cringey desperation are balanced by a strong storyline between Beth (Jennifer Aniston) and Neil (Ben Affleck), who learn the importance of sacrifice in a relationship. Overall, this is a really fun rom-com that details how men and women can be on very different wavelengths. Bonus - Anne & Ally spill the deets on their first date experiences!

Our #JenJourney brings us to our first bonus episode! Our thoughts and reactions to the 2013 documentary $ellebrity. Jennifer Aniston plays herself, so even though we're not rating this documentary, we'd still give her a 10/10 in character and poise. This documentary covers the lives of celebrities and the paparazzi and it is genuinely horrifying. If you're a person who reads UsWeekly, People, TMZ or any other celeb magazine/website you may want to do a lil sanity check and watch this. Protect the amazing entertainers we love (and their innocent kiddos) and invest in their art instead of their gossip! This was truly enlightening. And let's reiterate that Jen is flawless.

Get ready for heartbreak on this stop of the #JenJourney. The 2017 film The Yellow Birds really makes you think about the effects of war, especially on veterans and their families. One of Jennifer Aniston's deeper films, she portrays a lot of emotion in a short time on screen. Be prepared with some tissues - when she cries, you will cry. The plot is slow, but engaging, and may leave you with questions at the end. Still worth a watch to see Jen nail another dramatic role!

Grab a box of Kleenex for this stop on the #JenJourney! Tune in for our (tear-stained) review of the 2008 family film Marley & Me. Starring Owen Wilson alongside Jennifer Aniston, this film truly depicts how a dog becomes an integral member of the family. Honestly, we're too emotionally exhausted to write a longer description. You will sob at the movie & hopefully you'll laugh with us as we discuss it.

Our #JenJourney brings us back to the 1998 film The Object of My Affection where we witness a best friendship between George and Nina, played by young Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston. This unpredictable rom-com plot follows their increasingly complicated friendship and the pain of unrequited love. Jen’s character is frustrating, but her portrayal of emotions is stellar! We had physical reactions to this movie, feeling as conflicted as the characters. Definitely a must-see for the uniqueness; it will have you on the edge of your seat.

Did you know Jennifer Aniston has been in two animated films? Join us on our #JenJourney for our review of The Iron Giant, released in 1999, and Storks, released in 2016. Jen plays a (voice) mom in both movies! One features an alien robot, dark colors, and even darker themes. The other has bright colors, featuring storks who deliver babies through an Amazon-like service. Don’t worry, we still managed to cry during both of these films. You can call us soft, we call it emotionally invested.

Arguably one of our favorite stops on the #JenJourney, Just Go With It is a rom com from the good old days (i.e...2011). Full of great chemistry between Jen and Adam Sandler, lots of laughs, the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, and a cameo by Dave Matthews - join us in reviewing one of our favorite Jennifer Aniston movies. But, spoiler alert, this still isn’t ranked as #1!

Don't let the name fool you, the cake served on this stop of the #JenJourney is dense. Jennifer Aniston delivers her strongest acting performance yet, portraying a deep, emotional character. Not your usual Jen film, but worth a watch to see how far she can stretch. Bonus: Anna Kendrick plays a ghost.
Please note: this film’s themes center around tragedy, depression, suicide, and prescription drug addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with any of these, here are some resources:

What started as sincere hope watching some of our favorite actors scroll by in the opening credits turned into genuine boredom and a slightly furrowed brow as we searched for the plot in the slow film, Friends with Money. Despite the boredom, we still felt some serious rage towards a skeezy gym bro (gotta unite on something here). Maybe we just need to rub some Lancôme face cream on and shrug it off, but this movie had such potential & it just fell a little flat. Giving Jennifer Aniston some room to grow into her character would've made this a little more worth the rental fee. If you're looking for a sleepy film that doesn't require any thought whatsoever, this might be up your alley. But overall, we recommend skipping this stop on the #JenJourney and listening to our review instead!

Our #JenJourney continues with one of those classic films with a bunch of intertwining story lines and a star-studded cast. Mother's Day, released in 2016, actually has some surprising moments (Julia Roberts looking like a ginger Willy Wonka being one of them....). Jennifer Aniston is flawless, per usual, and exhibits strong character throughout. No question she is one of the best actors in this movie. Bonus: Jason Sudeikis in salmon pants.

We made this stop on the #JenJourney so you wouldn’t have to! This movie isn’t so bad that you have to watch it, but it IS so bad that you have to listen to our review. First of all, yes we DID watch this on Youtube. Jennifer Aniston is probably in a whole three minutes of this otherwise unremarkable film. The plot is overly complicated, acting was a bit overdone, and the main character was just annoying. Sarah Jessica Parker was the best part of this movie, even if her makeup throughout was reminiscent of her character in Hocus Pocus.

Jennifer Aniston gets in touch with some southern (and blonder) roots on this stop of our #JenJourney. The 2018 film Dumplin’ will leave you rooting for the underdog, cheering for teenage romance, and wondering if you can do any magic tricks. Set up a Dolly Parton playlist and settle in for this feel good film.

Our #JenJourney brings us to one of Jennifer Aniston's strongest and arguably most likable characters in the 2010 film The Bounty Hunter! In this film, Gerard Butler plays Milo, a bounty hunter, who is assigned to pick up his ex-wife Nicole, a reporter, who jumped bail. Jen's character Nicole is a true boss babe - a woman who can hulk out to rip a door apart, fall into a pond and look like she just did a GQ shoot, and solve the mystery behind a case she's following! We stopped to muse if Jen has ever had a zit in her whole life, and once again made a note to figure out who her spray tan artist is. This plot is action-packed and full of comedy and romance that doesn't feel TOO cheesy. Jason Sudeikis's presence alone adds an extra half point. Come for Jen's hair (it looks good in a banana clip, come ON), and stay for the sneaky taser scene.

Join us on our #JenJourney as we visit a hippie commune in the 2012 film Wanderlust, starring Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, and Justin Theroux. A star-studded cast provides a lot of laughs, but limited character development. Of note are Jen’s stellar hair, a nod to Grape Lady Falls, and slow-mo nude running (not the sexy kind).

Derailed is the next stop on our #JenJourney! A great blend of action and drama, this is truly unlike any other Jennifer Aniston film we've watched. We would deem this a "must-see" given the range Jen shows with her acting. Despite some clear lack of Chicago knowledge, we were pumped to find a rather unknown movie rise pretty high in our rankings! Tune in to find out more!

Our #JenJourney brings us to Love Happens this week. It's a slightly predictable romantic drama about being true to yourself. Jennifer Aniston plays a florist who is extremely likable with a dash of quirk alongside Aaron Eckhart. Fair warning that the name of the film sounds like a sweet romcom, but it is heavier than you might expect...If you're looking to shed a couple sappy tears, this is for you.

Another film featuring her little known dance skills and ability to rock a butterfly clip, this is a a slightly predictable but feel-good film featuring Ben Stiller and a blind ferret. There's a few character layers that elevate the plot and leave you thoroughly entertained!

If laughing in absurd disbelief is a favorite pastime, then this is the film for you. Our #JenJourney brings us to the quirky 2008 film Management, where Jennifer Aniston plays a traveling art saleswoman named Sue alongside Steve Zahn. This off-the-wall romance features a main character who is (understandably) obsessed with Sue, riding the line between being sweet and creepy. Honestly the film got to the halfway point and we had no idea how they would create another half. Parachutes, Buddhist Monks, and Rec Soccer Leagues all make guest appearances. Don't ask. Just listen.

Our #JenJourney takes us to another dimension in this 2003 comedy, Bruce Almighty. Jennifer Aniston is our leading lady next to Jim Carrey and is, per usual, taken advantage of as the perfect human that she is. With a strong character and even stronger hair, this is a funny, off the wall plot with a pre-The-Office cameo of Steve Carell that will be sure to make you laugh (and maybe cry)!

Our #JenJourney is taking us way back to the films that launched Jennifer Aniston's career!
Mac And Me (1988) a hilarious alien encounter sponsored by McDonald's. Is Jen on screen for more than 3 seconds? No. Is she credited? No. Did we watch it anyway? Yes. #dedicated
Camp Cucamonga (1990): a made-for-TV movie following a bunch of zany kids at a summer camp. Jen drives a school bus AND has lines. Makin' moves.
Leprechaun (1993 starring Warwick Davis and Ken Olandt alongside Jennifer Aniston): Jen's first feature film role, starring a crazed leprechaun seeking revenge in the middle of North Dakota and a plethora of mini modes of transportation. Jen reveals she's not a sharp shooter, but she does have what it takes to make it big!

Are you ready to continue ROCK-in' through our #JenJourney? Join us as we review the 2001 film Rock Star starring Jennifer Aniston and Mark Wahlberg.
This movie's main character is probably 80's rock hair, with great support from Jen and Mark . In a movie that comes full circle, Jen plays one of her strongest characters. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may cry laughing.... this movie caught us by surprise. Listen to find out why!

Our #JenJourney brings us to a whirlwind of a film, Rumor Has It, starring Jennifer Aniston, Mark Ruffalo, and Kevin Costner.
If you're into possible incest, this is THE film for you. We were kept so on our toes that after the movie ended we still weren't sure that everyone knew the real truth... Still full of classic rom-com (including the most realistic #MileHighClub scene we've seen) with a nice scoop of scandal on top, though Jen's character score does get knocked for making Mark Ruffalo sad. Plenty of throwback fashion will have you running for your ripped flared jeans and attempting a middle part.

Although Jen is referred to as a Buick next to Cameron Diaz's Cadillac, this lively film will make you laugh and cringe. With an unpredictable plot, this blast from the past featuring some great pleated slacks and scrunchies is definitely worth the watch!
