The Good Girl Movie Synopsis

A married woman (Aniston) working in a discount store yearns for something more, including a family, but she's so far been unable to conceive with her husband (Reilly).

At work, she meets a creative but odd young man (Gyllenhaal) who thinks he's Holden Caulfield, the narrator from The Catcher in the Rye. Considering him her soulmate, she starts an passionate affair with him, but as it quickly progresses from liberation to weird obsession, she finds herself ensnared in a chaotic web of blackmail, larceny and lies.

  Pretty good it gets boring at times but Jennifer Anniston gives a very strong performance an Jake gyllenhaal proves once again how terrific of an actor he is. Definitely rent it.

Very boring...I couldn`t wait for it to be over!

I thought that the movie was OK. Jennifer Anston is a very good actoress, even if the wasn`t that good.
