The Object of My Affection
A pregnant New York social worker begins to develop romantic feelings for her gay best friend, and decides she'd rather raise her child with him, much to the dismay of her overbearing boyfriend.
Critics Sentiment
Nina and George become close friends through activities
Nina becomes jealous and moody over George's new relationship
The film drops significantly from the friendship bonding phase to Nina's jealousy and emotional turmoil over George's relationship with Paul
The film starts strongly with critics praising the fresh premise and natural chemistry between Aniston and Rudd during their friendship development. However, it loses momentum in the middle act as Nina's romantic confusion and jealousy create an emotionally exhausting viewing experience. The ending provides a bittersweet resolution that critics found satisfying despite some predictable elements.
