management

Management is yet another of those indie romantic comedies where the laughs come from the impossibility of the mismatched lovebirds staying together. This one stars Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn. Here's the opening from my review:
“Management” deserves some points for its quirky approach to romantic comedy conventions, but it doesn’t offer enough rewards to make the experience worthwhile. A story of a sheltered man-child and the professional woman he falls hopelessly in love with, this feature directing debut of playwright Stephen Belber is odd and touching, but it unfolds as a collection of disparate gambits that could have used a surer hand behind the helm.
