Synopsis

Kate is working on a career at Mercer Advertising but is passed up for promotion because she's 'not stable enough', still being single and having no ties to the company. A story is made up about her being engaged to Nick, a guy whom she just met at a friend's wedding, and all seems to work out well for Kate. She even gets the attention of a colleague she had always wanted, but events soon take a dramatic turn, forcing her to 'present' her alleged fiance to her boss.

Critics' reviews

"It's a shame the plot is so contrived, because parts of this movie are really pretty good (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Another contemporary movie based on a woman with a successful career who is punished with a really crappy personal life"

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"Unfortunately, Picture Perfect uses embarrassing contrivances to sabotage what should have been a pleasant excursion down a familiar road."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Though 'extremely mediocre' may seem like an oxymoron, no phrase better defines 'Picture Perfect'."

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"A vacuous feel-good movie that leaves you feeling nothing at all."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"Another romantic comedy about a career woman who has everything except a man, is Jennifer Aniston's attempt to break out of her TV role. But she doesn't have the magic on the big screen to make us forget where she came from"

Ruthe Stein: SFgate
"It only serves to remind one of better movies, at a time when one needs no reminders"

John Anderson: Los Angeles Times
"Jennifer Aniston is a friend in need of a movie script that will really let her talent blossom."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
