(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1   "...una suburbia americana que no suele mostrarse en el cine actual, un mundo alejado del que comúnmente se asocia al bienestar clasemediero de los EU."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 1.5/5 "The Good Girl remains so shockingly drained of verve that it actually renders the audience into a numb stupor."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French B "What I bought into was the way Jennifer Aniston handled herself, as I found her to be very appealing in this "aw shucks, I'm so ordinary" role."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/4 "[Jennifer Aniston's] exquisitely modulated and heartbreakingly understated performance is a revelation...easily one of the year's very best motion pictures."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "Adequately funny and reasonably well-executed, and nothing more."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "I liked individual moments in The Good Girl, but it takes an illogical approach to its storyline."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "Ultimately, [Aniston's] Justine Last ends up as the poster girl for unnecessary self-pity and relentless self-doubt. Unfortunately, this makes her a needlessly naive bad girl in a preachy and unresolved film."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B+ "A shrewd, observant ensemble comedy-drama...A little film that cannily melds edgy satire with a degree of warmth and even a touch of profundity."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A funny and well-contructed black comedy where the old adage "be careful what you wish for" is given a full workout."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "An effective portrait of a life in stasis -- of the power of inertia to arrest development in a dead-end existence."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "There's a lot of sadness, but the film's grasp of small human truths and sense of low-key humor keep it afloat."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Jennifer Aniston shines in a sincere and funny film from the writer and director of Chuck and Buck."   Netflix   James Rocchi 5/10 "Wraps itself in the guise of a dark and quirky comedy, but it isn't as quirky as it thinks it is and its comedy is generally mean-spirited."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6.5/10 "For the most part -- and especially thanks to Aniston's performance -- it works more than adequately."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Not a complete success but enchanting performances and one especially superior showing by Aniston make it a decent watch."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 6/10 "...too depressing, too lacking in bite, and too slow (for) an outright recommendation."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "'Si bien no logra desarrollarse como un gran drama, tampoco es tan superficial como muchas cintas que pecan de pretenciosas y que resultan totalmente banales.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 7/10 "The film is very funny at times, and it takes some surprising turns, but it's also slow-paced and glum... A fine feel-bad comedy."   All Movie Guide   Josh Ralske 4.5/5 "Reward the studio for making an intelligent film about intelligent persons in sad circumstances that keeps you engaged."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/4 "A mopey, dull, American Beautyish suburbia-is-hell story."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "Arteta directs one of the best ensemble casts of the year"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal are electrifying."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Aniston shows promising signs of a post-sitcom career with her convincing and understated dramatic work."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/5 "Idiosyncratic and highly original."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "Jennifer Aniston removes her Hollywood glamour to convincingly play a drab Texas cashier teetering on the edge of depression. It's one of the best performances of the year."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "With the dreary, offensive The Good Girl, Arteta and White have attempted to turn their biting wit on...Middle America...content to revel in making fun of regular nobodies."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte C+ "Not entertaining, but good writing, direction, and the performances are outstanding."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "Mike White’s deft combination of serious subject matter and dark, funny humor make “”The Good Girl” a film worth watching."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Jennifer has left behind her Friends, the staring never ends,deep in the heart of Texas....It's not Ed, but something decent instead, set in the heart of Texas."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell B- "At its best, The Good Girl is a refreshingly adult take on adultery..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker B- "Delivers a realistic but familiar opera of forbidden courtships and wasted dreams."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 3.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 7/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1
