If you can get past Jennifer Aniston's form-fitting wardrobe in a movie about a woman struggling to advance in her profession, this romantic comedy is a fair match with My Best Friend's Wedding. Both films feature conniving, self-centered heroines who undergo a transformation--Aniston presents a bogus fiancé (Jerry Maguire's Jay Mohr) to impress her advertising agency boss and gradually discovers a mutual attraction with the imposter. Both movies go off in delightfully unpredictable directions. Picture Perfect falls prey to occasional sitcom fluff, but it's a fine showcase for Aniston's comedic and dramatic attributes. Critics were mixed-to-harsh in reviews for this movie, perhaps because it's a bit derivative and poses slight challenge to Aniston, who proved her skill with light comedy as a principal cast member of TV's Friends sitcom. It's clear that Aniston is a fine comedian, and she shows that talent to advantage in Picture Perfect. If you enjoy this movie, you should also check out Aniston's follow-up romantic comedy, The Object of My Affection. --Jeff Shannon

Surprisingly good!.......2007-04-19

Jennifer Aniston, Jay Mohr, Kevin Bacon, and others of note star in this delightful and consistently believable and interesting, twists and turns romantic-comedy/drama. This flick is perhaps what made Ms. Aniston more a "movie-star" than her sit-com character, and it is easy to see how she made the leap. Jenny not only plays a sexy and hot-to-trot corporate, rather shallow advertising exec-wannabe, but also a rather wholesome, down-to-earth, and deeply desiring (but not aware of it), "good girl" who only wants to be truly loved for who she really is.

Jay Mohr is equally as good because in this film, he doesn't play his usual smarmy, over the top "bad guy," but instead gives a low key but effective performance as a rather normal, photography and art loving, "good guy," who eventually falls head over heels for Jennifer during an elaborate scheme by the latter to "use" Jay to further her corporate ambitions.

Kevin Bacon is a fellow corporate riser who is both a good guy and a bad guy, good in that he eventually comes to see Jennifer as something more decent and deep than he thought, but bad so in the way he seems to use Jen in a casual sex way. During the movie, all the characters behave as real people, and all evolve, leading to a very pleasing, linear story that pulls heavily on all of our most cynical strings where "true love" and values in life are concerned.

Fast paced, with excellent performances and dialogue, and with pretty good insights into various NYC corporate characters and what makes them tick, this is one movie whose heart in the end is in the right place. Somewhat a modern day twist on 1960's Best Picture "The Apartment" (one of my top ten all time films), there's a truly special blend of comedy and drama, and we generally "care" for everyone here in the end. And the end, which I won't give away, is just about picture "perfect."

While the film does have some confusing elements at times, and seems to swell at times with a bit overly done melodrama, almost everyting else about it is a series of well done, well scripted, well directed scenes, with some pretty good and timely music as well. When I first saw this, I really didn't expect much, and am not really much of a fan of the main stars, but this one is a real winner from start to finish.

A Marvelously Mindless Chick Flick.......2007-01-21

Starring the Debbie Reynolds of our generation, PICTURE PERFECT tells the story of Kate Mosely (Jennifer Aniston), an advertising agency copywriter who finds true love while trying to advance her career.

Released in 1997, PICTURE PERFECT is far from deep and meaningful, but it does succeed in delivering an enjoyably mindless chick flick that is even more interesting to watch ten years after it was shown in theaters.

Featuring the trendy short skirts popularized by TV's Allie McBeal and the razor thin eye brows of the mid 1990s, PICTURE PERFECT looks dated ten years later but the story line is timeless. Girl meets and overlooks a diamond in the rough and then realizes he's the one -- after he's gone.

A great find late at night while flipping channels or for that secret stash of fun (but embarassing to own) girly films, PICTURE PERFECT is recommended for bored women looking for mindless entertainment.

Love this movie.......2006-07-25

I saw this movie a while ago, kind of forgot about it, and then saw it again and realized how much I loved it. Of course Jennifer Aniston is adorable, and the plot line is a little more original and different from the average romantic comedy. It's funny and definitely very sweet - I highly recommend.

The OTHER Jenny from the block........2006-06-12

Picture Perfect is about a woman who hires a guy to pretend to be her boyfriend so she can seem more desirable to the guy she REALLY wants. Only she ends up falling in love with the guy for hire as she realizes how great he is and how un-great the object of her affection (no pun intended) is. Sound familiar? Maybe that's because Debra Messing and company recycled this same storyline for The Wedding Date. But there's no question Aniston does it better.

This remains my favorite JA movie. She's playing a slight variation of her "Rachel" character from Friends, but who cares? The movie is still fun to watch, and so is Jennifer Aniston, who has become very endearing to me over the past few years.

really enjoyable film.......2006-04-15

I saw this film a while back, and I loved it so much I bought it on dvd. It has a great storyline and great acting. I am a fan of jenifer aniston as well as jay mohr so this film was great for me. I can truely say its one of my favorite films.

Be warned.......2007-03-04

I bought this item hoping that the disc for "Picture Perfect," one of my favorite romantic comedies, had been updated, but it hasn't. Be warned that it is widescreen, but NOT enhanced for 16 by 9 TVs, so it is a small image with bars on the sides. The other two films ARE enhanced for 16 by 9. I wish this information had been in the product description.

Almost everyone knows the image, but few know the rest of the story. Warner Sallman's portrait of Jesus Christ is one of the most recognized paintings of the 20th century, indeed one of the most recognized images ever. The New York Times says, the popularity of Sallman's 'Head of Christ' makes Warhol's 'Soup Can' seem downright obscure. Produced in 1940, it was a marketing marvel. The image was put on clocks and calendars, funeral fans and Sunday school literature. By 1984 it had been reproduced more than half a billion times. But its popularity also has led to controversy. While multitudes find it comforting, others now call it racist. It's been burned on the steps of the Capitol. Courts have ordered it removed from schools and public buildings. Picture Perfect Jesus is a biography of this image. It answers two important questions: why was this image once so universally accepted and why is it no longer so? Narrated by Hal Holbrook, Picture Perfect Jesus is a documentary by award-winning producer Lyle Jackson.

Three of the four episodes that make up this 80-minute tape feature Snap, the Pokémon Photomaster, which gives this collection its name. In "The Case of the K-9 Caper!" the gang runs into a band of police-trained Pokémon, inspiring Ash to try to train Pikachu. Snap makes his appearance in "Pokémon Paparazzi" when he bribes Ash, Misty, and Brock with pancakes in attempt to earn a photo session with Pikachu. Why is he so obsessed with photographing Ash's Pokémon? The fact that Team Rocket, in disguise as a sobbing elderly couple, has hired him could have something to do with it. Ash signs up for the Pokémon League Admissions Exams (a kind of SAT for Pokémon trainers) in "The Ultimate Test," but must conduct his battles without his own pocket monsters. Finally, in "The Breeding Center Secret," Misty turns in her Psyduck to a new breeding center for fixing up, only to discover it's a theft operation conducted by a Team Rocket clone. Snap is on hand to take investigative photos and the others join in aiding Officer Jenny to right this Pokémon wrong. These four episodes are the last from the initial season. Followed by Water Blast. (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Well, the video/DVD seems to focus on new character Snap/Todd. Snap/Todd also appears in the game Pokemon Snap, so consider these episodes a preview.

What I didn't like was that J+J can't get along with B+C. Luckily, my fanfics fixed that.

Has one of the best episodes of all time!.......2001-01-09

I bought this tape solely because it contains one of my favorite episodes, "The Breeding Center Secret." I'm a Team Rocket fanatic and the new members Cassidy and Butch in this are sooo cool! The other episodes aren't bad either.
