{netflix} object of my affection (1998)

In this cosmopolitan comedy, love triangles and romantic entanglements give the word complications new meaning. Jennifer Aniston portrays Nina Borowski, a straight woman who asks gay George Hanson (Paul Rudd) to move in with her only hours after the two meet. As their bond grows, she discovers she's expecting and wants George to be the child's surrogate father … to the dismay of Nina's loutish, arrogant ex-beau (John Pankow).

My rating: *** Cute comedy. Not great, but cute. I liked The Next Best Thing with Madonna and Rupert Everett MUCH more. Similar idea. Jennifer Anniston again just don't do it for me in a feature film. Nigel Hawthorne gives a solid performance and as always I love Allison Janney. I'm glad Nina ended up with the brotha! :)
