Jennifer Aniston in Elle's interview

"In "The Good Girl", Jennifer Aniston plays a Madame Bovary for the Wal-Mart age. She's an adulterous small-town wife named Justine Last who works in a tacky department store and has a disastrous fling with a fellow cashier.

It's a great role for Aniston. With her casually seductive movie-star face and perfect, curvy figure, Justine looks out of place in her scenes -- just as she's supposed to. Justine is a frustrated 30-year-old checkout girl at the Retail Rodeo of Wasteland, Texas. She's a sexy pearl among bland swine in a bleached-out, styleless mid-American cul-de-sac, working in the wrong job in the wrong town, married to the wrong guy (John C. Reilly as pothead house-painter Phil), and eventually mated with the wrong lover as well (Jake Gyllenhaal as writer wannabe Holden Worther).

The movie is a dark comedy about false dreams and lost illusions -- and, thanks to a fine cast and a smart script, it's an effective one. Director Miguel Arteta and writer-actor Mike White, the acidly clever but inwardly tender duo behind "Chuck & Buck" and this movie, make Justine an anti-heroine at the same time they make fun of her and her world. They make Wasteland, Texas, the quintessential town to escape -- except that in this film, the characters seemingly can't".

"When asked if she ever had the desire to "set the record straight", presumably in reference to the much-publicised break-up of her marriage to Pitt three years ago and his subsequent marriage to Angelina Jolie, she replied: "I don't owe anybody my side of the story.
"There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story."
Rather than the "funny, quirky, pretty roles" she usually gets offered, she said she would enjoy being the next Bond girl.
"I'd love to do an action move. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! ****-loads of fun!"Speaking about her new film, a tear-jerking story about a destructive Labrador, co-starring Owen Wilson, she told ELLE Magazine: "What's great about this movie is that it's a true story.
"It's not pretty. It's about the reality of a marriage.
"It's a portrait of those moments, which everyone has, where you hit a snag. People go to Mach 5 – "We're done! This is over! We can't recover!" – when, in fact, it's beautiful.
"I think breakdowns equal breakthrough. You go further."
