Though "extremely mediocre" may seem like an oxymoron, no phrase better defines Picture Perfect.

Sometimes a movie will include a subversive line of dialogue that shows somebody was paying attention.

Olympia Dukakis and Illeana Douglas come off poorly in silly supporting roles that make Aniston seem to have screen presence by default.

Aniston deports herself competently, here showing us nothing she hasn't on Friends, and Bacon is pretty much on autopilot as the company stud but it is Mohr who actually shines, skilfully giving an underwritten role a genuinely deft sense of nobility and ...read the complete Picture Perfect movie review at Empire (Adam Smith)
