Movie review - "The Good Girl" (2004) **

The sort of movie a section of Hollywood has always enjoyed making about poor people - lots of accents, working class boredom and misery, making fun of religion and daggy fashion, sex. Jennifer Aniston is fine but this sort of role is not hard - put away some make up, do an accent and look miserable. Jake Gyllenhaul is allowed to be a bit more unusual, not much, but at least he can be manic. Strong cast - just an unremarkable film.
