Management (2009)

Really Surprised!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A couple of movies back, I cautioned Jennifer Aniston against taking strictly "girlfriend" roles in which, if her character was eliminated from the story, there would be virtually no consequence. She must have heard me. In Management, she plays much more than a flighty, bohemian squeeze for a bigger star. She plays a skirt-suited, professional career woman, who takes a slightly odd love interest…and first billing.The script zigzags between dark comedy and awkward romance, matching the questionable pairing of Aniston and Steve Zahn. And while it masters neither genre, it's not at all unpleasant to watch. Some of the romance is cringe-worthy, and some of it is really sweet. I've seen it twice. Try it once and see if you like it!

I love most of Jen's movies. With a few misfits like ''Friends with Money'' and ''Derailed''. I wanted for this movie not to fall in that category but it did. As a huge Jennifer Aniston fan I think all her performances are amazing, she keeps acting good and steels always the spotlight. To begin with the movie was hard to get sucked into. The first 25 minuets was a whole different ( boring ) movie then the rest. Steve Zahn acts like hes mentally unstable and Jennifer Aniston is just a straight ass bitch. Speaking of Ass, shes a women with no self-respect and lets a man she doesn't know and shows up at her door for a few times touch her ass, FOR SEVERAL SECONDS! Then she points at the door. She gets in a car and gets out again to have sex, oke make up your mind! Then she rans off again to go to her home town which means Zahn is left behind. Thats when the movie gets a bit better. Zahn travels across country to see her, over and over again. Until Jennifer gets knocked up and marries a ex- drug abuser ( WHUT? ) Zahn is turning his life up-side down after visiting a Monk and turns the motel into a home-less centre, he shows up at Jens door again and BAM she is divorced from the ex-drug and everything is oke. Al toghter, it was pretty lame but again you feel sorry for Zahn and you really get how he feels. I didn't know what to rate this movie, it was weird, fun, good, bad, sucky, lame, sad and fun actually...So I gave it a 6(sorry for my grammar, I'm dutch )

It's OK but it's a bit boring. Not enough comedy and the script is lacking. Aniston is good - just wish she were offered better films with stronger scripts. I watched the trailer after watching the film. The trailer is pretty much ALL the decent content of the film. Although there is a nice moment between Zahn, his mum and Aniston. But overall I'd say there's not enough 'content'. It doesn't have much life to it and would agree with another reviewer who thought it felt contrived - not natural enough. It just leaves you feeling empty, you definitely don't get caught up in the story. No lasting impression, and no, I was not expecting to be blown away - just hoped it would be full of quirky goodness! An odd little film that has some good moments - but that's it.

Not that bad of a film, but not amazing either. It had a small cast, but only some seemed to fit. Jennifer Aniston was decent and Steve Zahn was pretty funny at parts, but some of the writing to the film didn't fit that well with the characters. This goes the most for the ending. The ending was a bit over the top and really made you lose interest. Woody Harrelson was also in the film and he really didn't fit with his character much. The story, like I said, just faded off at the ending, but up to that point, it was pretty decent. It wasn't crazy funny, but it did have its moments to get a little chuckle out of the viewer. The story is that a guy randomly meets a girl who shows up at the hotel he works at. Then they sleep together and he falls for her, but she leaves. You can only guess what could go on from there. The film at parts was trying to be serious and for the most part it did fit, even with the little humor they added in from time to time. But again, when the movie was over and it was all panned out, it just didn't have the impact it needed to finish clean.
