From 2002 and starring Jennifer Aniston, John C. Reilly, and Jake Gyllenhaal, The Good Girl tells the story of Justine who starts an affair with an emo cashier who works at the same department store she does.

This was a very strange movie. It started out normal enough, but things happen and decisions are made that are a little wacky. It was definitely a thinker and I found myself thinking about I would do in the given situations, what I would say, what I would admit to. I was happy with the final decision Justine (Aniston) makes but it wasn't a happy one by any means.
Aniston was exactly what she needed to be. This was one of her first serious roles after Friends, and it showed a different side of her. Jake Gyllenhaal's character wasn't what I wanted him to be, he was annoying, but I guess that's how it was supposed to be.
It was funny without being laugh out loud funny, it was amusing, but serious and really sad.
