The Good Girl

In my continuing quest to see all of Zooey Deschanel’s back catalogue that I’ve missed until now (nearly there), today I got my hands on The Good Girl. It’s a decent film. Jennifer Aniston plays a store clerk in Texas who lives a very dreary, mundane life. She has a boring job and a boring redneck husband (John C. Reilly) and she longs for a little bit more.

She gets more when she becomes involved with a new young employee at the store (Jake Gyllenhaal). This leads to some decision making problems for her. Will she remain “a good girl”? Zooey is excellent as usual in playing another co-worker at the store who provides some comic relief in the film. She’s quite a dark and surreal character and she has all the best lines. 5 crumbs out of 10.
