After catching a couple of the one hundred million reruns of Friends on E4, something quite obvious occurred to me; Jennifer Aniston is a damn good actress. I was always a fan in the late nineties and early noughties but Friends just like my favourite cheesecake, gets a bit sickly after a while so I gave it up for a bit. My recent revisit however reminded me just how funny she is with her exceptional comic timing, she won a Golden Globe after all. So after seeing a poster for The Bounty Hunter I wonder what on earth is she doing making these rubbish films?

When asked what my favourite movie was, I had a long hard think about what “favourite” means to me. My favourite movie changes on a weekly basis, depending what mood I’m in. But what is that one reliable film, that I can watch over and over again and never get tired of? To be honest there are many more credible and better movies out there, but for me favourite is the one film I put in my DVD player when I’m feeling poorly, had a bad day, just broke up with someone, or just bored. So, it is pretty clear this film has immense powers of cheering me up. Therefore fully deserving of my “favourite” film.

Ok so it’s an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel and one of the most beloved books of all time. I still have my A’level copy on my book shelf with all the notes written in the margin and fell in love with the story then, however I’m not a big fan of reading unless I have an excess of free time, so the film does the job in 129 minutes and it does it, so so well.
