HORSHAM, PA. For her role in the 2011 movie
Horrible Bosses,
Jennifer Aniston has received the
Bimbo Bakery award for "Sexiest On-Screen Dirt Bag". Ms. Aniston had no comment, but I do!
I actually have not been much of a
Jennifer Aniston fan until I saw her in this movie. Aniston played Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S., a sexually compulsive dentist who harasses her dental assistant, Dale Arbus played by
Charlie Day. For her performance, she has already won the 2012
MTV Movie Award in the category "Best On-Screen Dirt Bag," and now the coveted
Bimbo Bakery award.
The clips above show her locking Charlie Day in her office while she is only wearing a white dental coat and a thong (maybe nylons), shows the compromising still photographs she has on Dale while he was anesthetized for some complementary dental work, and her undressing and performing from her front window for Kurt Buckman (played by
Jason Sudeikis) who is supposed to be keeping her under surveillance. For the part, Aniston insisted on dying her hair brunette to look different from the other characters she had played.
The film has received
mixed but positive reviews. The negative reviews considered it homophobic, misogynist and racist. The positive reviews thought that the ensemble casting and acting were all well done for what the film essentially was, "moronic, vulgar and juvenile". Of Jennifer Aniston's role, Roger Ebert commented that it was a surprise, a return to form with acute comic timing and hilariously enacted "alarming sexual hungers".
I would have to agree with Roger Ebert. While there were great comic performances put in by
Charlie Day,
Jason Bateman,
Jason Sudeikis,
Colin Farrell,
Kevin Spacey, and
Jamie Foxx (Motherfuckah Jones), Jennifer Aniston really stole the movie. Although Ms. Aniston is clearly a beautiful woman, as a blond I never found her that attractive. As a brunette, she was devastating. But wait a minute, in this role she was not supposed to be really attractive. In fact, she was supposed to be repulsive. Somehow she managed to play a dirt-bag role and still look sexy, no mean accomplishment! A fitting performance for the 2013
Bimbo Bakery award in this category.
