SYNOPSIS
“As a girl, you see the world like a giant candy store.” This is one of the first things we hear from Justine (Jennifer Aniston), the title character of THE GOOD GIRL. Justine, though, is no longer a girl – she is grown up, married and longs for a life more fulfilling than the one she leads with her house painter husband, Phil (John C. Reilly), and his ever-present buddy, Bubba (Tim Blake Nelson).
Justine discovers something of a soul mate in her co-worker, Holden (Jake Gyllenhaal), a creative, passionate young man who represents a chance for her to escape into a new world of emotional and sexual awakening. But when the affair quickly moves from liberation to weird obsession, Justine finds herself ensnared in a chaotic web of blackmail, larceny and love…all at the Retail Rodeo.
