Jennifer Aniston stars in this sly romantic comedy as Nina, a young woman who falls in love with her new roommate, George, (Paul Rudd) even though he's gay and loves her purely as a friend. When Nina becomes pregnant, she realizes she'd rather raise her child with George than with her boyfriend - a decision that forces the threesome to explore the fine line between love, sex and friendship.

Critics Consensus: Despite heartfelt performances from Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, The Object of My Affection suffers from too many plot contrivances and frequent turns into rom-com sappiness.

Reviews

Cinema Sight

Wesley Lovell

Rudd is enchanting. He brings a succinct and proper attitude to a not-so-needy gay character that easily combats the traditional stereotype. He downplays enough situations and reacts brilliantly in some scenes to allow his character to come through easily

There's ultimately little doubt that The Object of my Affection fares best in its entertaining and compulsively watchable first half...

'90s romcom about non-traditional family; cursing.

You come away with a remarkable sense of the filmmakers and actors working together harmoniously as they delve into the heart of relationships between friends and lovers.

Rudd and Aniston are sad and believable as star-crossed lovers who know they can never be together for reasons beyond their control.
