I agree totally. I was just commenting the other day, that Jennifer Aniston isn’t so much of an actress, is that she just constantly plays herself, except people tell her what to say instead of making it up like normal folk.

It may be a matter of type-casting, but I think its more to do with the fact that she has zero range… kinda like the entire Friends cast. Any of them that have appeared in movies are essentially playing their Friend’s character with minor differences. Lisa Kudrow only knows how to get upset in one specific way. (Think shaking hands and shrill voice).

Yes, that is exactly how Lisa Kudrow was upset in “The Opposite of Sex.”
