The Switch: Jennifer Aniston proves to be her own best friend	Sep 03 2010
Published by Gioia in Career. Add Comment
The Switch is a comedy that looks like one thing but turns out to be another. Jennifer Aniston has been promoting the movie as if it’s a film about a 40-year-old career woman called Kassie deciding to become a single parent. This has predictably brought Aniston into conflict with America’s political Right, which sees fatherless children as a social problem, and deplores Hollywood films that make role-models out of women who opt for ‘irresponsible’ single-motherhood. But go and see the film, and you’ll find that it is about something else entirely. The Switch is really about Kassie’s best friend, a repressed neurotic called Wally (played with marvellous delicacy by Jason Bateman), who drunkenly switches her donor’s sperm sample for his own. He blocks out the memory until nearly seven years later, when she returns to New York with a boy (adorably played by Thomas Robinson) whose angst, pessimism and galloping hypochondria suggest to everyone except Aniston’s character, that he is Wally’s son. Aniston has wasted herself on some pretty thankless roles recently, but she is exactly right for this movie. She has warmth and can convey inner thought processes, for a start, and she knows when not to dominate a scene. It’s interesting to compare and contrast her with Jennifer Lopez, who played a similar role, with far less charm and humour, in The Back-Up Plan. In the second and better half of the movie, Aniston unselfishly takes a back seat to the burgeoning relationship between Wally and her son. For this film, which pretends to be a liberal movie championing feminist self-empowerment and the woman’s right to choose, turns out instead to be a much more conservative piece about why children – male children, especially – need to have masculine role-models and sympathetic ears, preferably fatherly ones. The Switch is at its best in the touching and unusual scenes: one, when Wally takes his son to the zoo and another, when he de-louses his hair. These moments — which may not sound like much but are reminiscent of the best bits in Kramer Vs Kramer — are the reasons to see the movie. The directors, Josh Gordon and Will Speck, don’t go for the broad humour of their first picture, the underrated Blades Of Glory. Jeff Goldblum gets most of the big laughs as Wally’s best friend, gradually grasping the horror of what his pal has done. ‘Oooh,’ he grimaces on hearing of the switch, ‘that’s … ill-advised.’ The Switch might have been funnier, and it doesn’t entirely convince in its characterisations, but it achieves its unpretentious objective of being an amiable heart-warmer, and that is enough to put it way ahead of most Hollywood comedies this year.

Jennifer Aniston chats about new movie The Switch	Sep 02 2010

Jennifer Aniston says she had a hard time getting to grips with the premise of her new film The Switch. The friends actress stars as a 40-year-old single woman who opts for sperm donation to become pregnant. However, seven years later, she finds out her best friend Wally (Jason Bateman) replaced her preferred sperm sample with his own. “I’ve never laughed harder. We actually had a hard time rapping our heads around, like, how could this possibly happen? It’s so insane,” Jennifer said. “That’s why we loved it. It’s such a unique story. It’s sort of the modern family,” she added. Jennifer, 41, also spoke very highly about her co-star and old friend Jason Bateman: “He’s sweet as can be and he’s fun and a commited actor. I’ve know Jason for a long time and he’s been down some roads and he’s just better than ever.” The Switch is out in cinemas now. Source: ITN

Not getting back with Jen	Aug 30 2010

Singer John Mayer has dismissed reports that he has rekindled romance with former lover, Hollywood actor Jennifer Aniston. The 32-year-old singer took to his blog to blast a suggestion that his concert comments about “second chances” related to getting back together with the actor, People reported online. “This is equal parts fabricated, cobbled together and misleading,” Mayer said. Another quote he says was taken out of context from his show last weekend, explaining that it was actually a reference to the song Half of My Heart and not a veiled comment about a rekindling of his romance with Aniston. “Two sentences about different things,” Mayer said.

Jennifer Aniston To Prowl Into Courteney Cox’s ‘Cougar Town’	Aug 30 2010
Published by Gioia in Career. Add Comment
Could we be anymore excited? (Um, that’s a no.) ABC has confirmed to EW.com’s Michael Ausiello that Jennifer Aniston will indeed appear on former “Friends” costar Courteney Cox’s series “Cougar Town.” In fact, she’ll have the honors of ushering in the new season, guest starring on the show’s second season premiere Sept. 22. “[Jennifer's] going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie,” says “Cougar Town” executive producer Bill Lawrence. “Kind of a get-too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in real life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the life Jules wishes she has.” Am I the only one envisioning midday therapy sessions over a bottle (or two or three) of Merlot? If you caught Jennifer’s zany appearance on “30 Rock” back in 2008, you know the actress has a gift for jumping in mid-stream and providing some serious yucks. (She didn’t nab an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for nothin’.) She and Courteney have had 16 years’ time (and a hit series) to hone their chemistry, so it’s likely she’ll trump even her “30 Rock” appearance. (Is that another Emmy nomination we smell?) For now, Jen’s character is slated for just one episode, but Bill says he left the story open for a potential role reprisal. “We’re very intentionally implying that it’s a therapist Courteney has been using for a while, and we’re certainly not going to make it like they’ll never see each other again,” he says. “So I’m crossing my fingers that if she has a good time it’ll happen again.” May we suggest a group therapy session with Jules, Bonnie and Dr. Amy Evans (Lisa Kudrow’s temperamental dermatologist character from last season)? Are you excited to see Jen on “Cougar Town”? Which “Friends” costar would you like to see on the show next? Source: MTV.com

He had even scratched I love Jennifer Aniston down the side and along the bonnet of his car and was carrying a list of potential baby names for the children he intended to father with Aniston.
