Adding to the poignance is the terrific, natural chemistry between Aniston and Rudd.

The shift in focus defuses what might have been fresh in the story.

The film effectively drives home the point that, when forced to choose, most people - even nice ones - will chase their own dreams instead of fulfilling someone else's.
