Object of My Affection, The

Object of My Affection, The

1998

In this cosmopolitan comedy, love triangles and romantic entanglements give the word complications new meaning. Jennifer Aniston portrays Nina Borowski, a straight woman who asks gay George Hanson (Paul Rudd) to move in with her only hours after the two meet. As their bond grows, she discovers she's expecting and wants George to be the child's surrogate father ... to the dismay of Nina's loutish, arrogant ex-beau (John Pankow).

A love story that could only happen between best friends.
