Watch The Object of My Affection For Free

Instant Favorite.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The Object of my affection is truly a very moving and emotional movie that is a great time to watch. It really showcases Jennifer Aniston's great range, going from Rachel in friends to Nina in this film, she really handles the dramatic scenes very well, and so does Paul Rudd. Paul and Jennifer have really awesome chemistry on screen together too, they work so well. And Allison Janney and Alan Alda were both good and they acted well. The Characters and the script all mesh and work together so well in this movie, it's really very impressive! I absolutely loved the friendship and relationship between Nina and George here, it was so sweet and unique, and ya know they really treated gay people very well in this film, they didn't stereotype or anything, they represented them with healthy living relationships, like they are in reality, so that was great too. All around this is a very well made and smart movie! 8/10.

Nina Borowski (Jennifer Aniston) counsels at risk girls. George Hanson (Paul Rudd) teaches little kids. His boyfriend Dr. Robert Joley (Tim Daly) dumps him and he moves in with Nina. They would make for the perfect couple if he isn't gay. Nina has an overbearing boyfriend Vince McBride (John Pankow). Everybody continually keeps trying to fix them up with people despite their resistance. When Nina gets pregnant, Vince gets on her nerves, and they break up.There is some edgy possibilities here. The problem is that it's handled like a sitcom. Paul Rudd is gay but he's barely allowed to kiss a guy for most of the movie. He does some naked spooning late in the movie but it's not anything more than PG-13. Apparently, the movie gets R for just talking about it so why be so tame? It's trying to be a subversive rom-com. The only thing subversed is this movie. This might as well be a straight up rom-com with the meek silently-pining best friend. That would be better. At least, it doesn't promise to be more than a bland conventional rom-com. Quite frankly, the movie plays it that way most of the time. Aniston and Rudd have good possible straight chemistry. Maybe he should have said bi because he doesn't really sell gay.

Oh, Joy, joy......another film about a gay man who only needs the right woman to convert him. The scene in which Aniston's character SUCCEEDS in seducing Rudd's character is purposely geared to have the audience saying "See, I KNEW he didn't REALLY want to be gay. Now he'll be cured and they can live happily ever after!". The only thing that stops them actually having sex is A PHONE CALL! He doesn't stop it...it has to be a freaking phone call! What an epic cop-out! I'm sorry to burst your hetero female fantasy bubble, Ms. Wasserstein, but men who are actually gay DON'T.....even deep down....want to have sex with women....even if they're Jennifer Anniston. All the gay relationships in the film are depicted as horrible, shallow messes which further serves to egg the audience on in hoping that Rudd's character will be "converted" by Anniston's because he'd be so much happier with her if he could only see. That makes me so angry I could vomit! It makes no difference that he ends up with a guy at the end. The point of the script is that he COULD have been converted. This is homophobia, pure and simple and no less sickening than that to be found in a Klan meeting or a Baptist church. I....HATE....THIS....MOVIE!

That is the question that Nina have when she falls in love of a gay kindergarten teacher, George. If this is not a kind of romantic that you usually used to hear in an almost XXI century, now is so much different. In the same year comes "Will & Grace" and then "The Next Best Thing". Now, the relationship between gay man and straight woman is yet a typical formula of romantic Hollywood comedies (I guess that not always this characters live together, but always the lead female character has a gay friend, and a gay has to best friend to a single woman). If "The Object of my Affection" don't start it all, is (In movies, because "Will & Grace" is a great and very funny T.V show) the best of all films of this kind of plot - or better the best that i have seen-.In our lives, always we find special people that full us. That makes us feel so different, in a good -very good- way. But, in spite, this person is not always the suitable one. And, in spite that we know that, we suffer of this person. "The Object of my Affection" is the portrait of this kind of uncontrollable suffer by the heart of human beens, show it to us by the story of Nina, who met George, who broke up with his boyfriend. Nina, who see how sad is George for some of the problems that this broke up begins, decides to offer him to stay with her until he be stabilized. Nina lives with other man. She is pregnant of him. After a while, Nina begins a strong relationship with George. The Nina begins to fall in loved of him... Wow, what problem going to begin! "The Object of my Affection" is a drama that, when you watch at the beginning like another romantic comedy which is all the opposite. "The Object of my Affection" is a tender drama that analyzed a hard topic, but that is inevitable in our lives: Love. The movie counts with great performances too: Jennifer Aniston (Shines like ever as Nina), Paul Rudd as George, Timothy Daly, Amo Gulinello, Alan Alda and Allison Janney.Of course that are a lot of movies about unrequited love (Look for one the best movies of this topic "My Own Private Idaho") but the bitter way, dressed of colorful, of "The Object of my Affection" is unique. The story is not a "chick flick" although that much thinks that. This movie is a contemporaneous drama which is fill of an optimistic voice, since the begin to the end. "The Object of my Affection" is great movie that keeps in mind of much - or only me, if is the case-, and marks the thing that "Will & Grace" makes with so greatness and that "The Next Best Thing" ruins.*Sorry for the mistakes... well, if there any.
