Jennifer Aniston couldn't transition into a serious actress. Why?


Recommended Posts

When I see Jennifer Aniston, I see a wholesome personality with positive vibes. That matters more than 'serious'.

I actually always liked her in the good girl. Mike white knows how to fit comedy girls into more serious proyects. 

She never really tried to get awards outside cake. Someone with her level of fame would get a nom if she constantly tries it. 

Some of you still think awards are just about talent. Half of the people has won just by campaigning and being a big celebrity

Look… she's not a versatile or interesting dramatic actress. She also picks terrible comedies just for the checks…

 

Having said that I wouldn't count her out yet. As she grows older she might play some elderly supporting character on a black comedy and score an Oscar nomination. Some people just need to do the very least on a good role and they will be rewarded by their peers just for being likeable enough and Aniston kinda has it. This usually doesn't cut for a Best Actress Oscar as she tried with Cake (awful movie), but it does work in Supporting categories

Shes always starring these silly rom-coms and I love that for her. Like why do you want more from her

She doesn't have the talent/range. She can do cliche "serious" action/thriller roles, but she can't pull of a drama. She knows that and sticks to what works for her.

She's great in The Morning Show idk what you mean

The Morning Show isn't serious enough for you guys?

Right and her work in it is respected by her industry peers if her SAG win and Emmy noms are any indication

Jennifer Aniston movies with at least a B- on Metacritic (67+): Office Space, Good Girl, Friends with Money (3 films)

 

As a comparison point, Angelina: A Mighty Heart (1 film)

She feels like the female version of Mr Bean to me.
 

You love them but rarely take them seriously.

She seriously tried it with Cake but having that scheduled press junket in case she got nominated for an Oscar but ultimately didn't felt like a comedy and tarnished that endeavor.

this story never fails to make me laugh 

 

how embarrassing for jen :rip:

No shade but that was simply never in her wheelhouse. That's like Nicole Kidman trying to do comedy.

You said it.

 

Probably the only comedic actors that could do that were Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. Both were depressed in real life.

Didn't she rent out some entire venue to celebrate her Academy Award nomination for Cake only to find out she wasn't nominated? :rip:

Oh can he? I only associate him with Mr Bean, Johnny English, the bee show on Netflix and the London Olympics.

She had a few successes with serious roles but she was typecast from Friends as a Rom Com actress and made bank from it. She's doing just fine

she's the female version of adam sandler but at least he snatched some good drama roles in recent years

So we are gonna pretend like she didn't get rave reviews for good girl? Oh oh okay. That she even has longevity as a leading lady is a feat in itself. There's always gonna be genre bias against a woman known for an ubiquitous role that still lives on long past its finale date. Emmy winner Aniston has nothing to prove.

Umm... her comedic performance in Mr. & Mrs. Smith was acclaimed.

You're so right, I forgot that that film led to her successful career as a comedienne in such classics as Kung Fu Panda Po's Winter Wonderland and Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Master
