"  More than any other actress working, Jennifer Aniston is America&amp;#039;s Sweetheart. Like that title&amp;#039;s first claimant, silent-film star Mary Pickford, Aniston is very good at what she does\u2014and becomingly modest about it, never claiming to be the best actress of her generation nor the most beautiful. The enduring popularity that began with Friends now derives from the stuff that dreams are made on: She&amp;#039;s the girl next door who became a movie star and, for a time at least, won the heart of Hollywood&amp;#039;s most charming prince. Pickford, who demanded record-breaking salaries for her work, convincingly played dewy-eyed ingenues in middle age. Aniston, whose net worth was calculated two years ago at $110 million, turned 40 in February, and part of the pleasure of her latest film is that she doesn&amp;#039;t hesitate to act her age. While continuing to rake in the big bucks with cinematic pabulum like Marley &amp;amp;amp; Me, she&amp;#039;s been peppering her r\u00E9sum\u00E9 with provocative indies ever since The Good Girl (2002). In the offbeat romantic comedy Management, she does some of her spikiest work yet.   The directing debut of writer and actor Stephen Belber from his own script, Management stars Aniston and Steve Zahn as prospective lovers Sue, who sells wall art to hotels for a Maryland firm, and Mike, night manager of his parents&amp;#039; Arizona motel. It&amp;#039;s unrequited love at first sight for the shy, shaggy Mike when Sue books a room during a business trip, but her response is complicated. In a clip that has already gone viral, she sarcastically accuses him of wanting &amp;quot;to touch my butt&amp;quot; then, sarcasm intact, lets him do that very thing. Despite her warning that nothing will come of further intimacies, the besotted Mike tracks Sue down only to confront major competition from her no-longer-ex-boyfriend, Jango (a hilariously vivid Woody Harrelson), a punk-rock star turned yogurt mogul.   The god of comedy is in the details, and Belber has a knack for them: Jango the new age machista has topiary around his mansion in the shape of giant pit bulls, and the company that provides the earnestly bad paintings Sue sells goes by the oxymoron Corporate Bliss. Still, Belber is best known for his work on The Laramie Project, about the murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard, and he locates not just the melancholy but also the desperation in his putative lovers. That&amp;#039;s their unacknowledged bond, the sense that for lack of nerve or luck or talent, they&amp;#039;re dribbling their lives away. The movie&amp;#039;s most outrageous comic moments play out on Jango&amp;#039;s turf, and it&amp;#039;s his difference from Mike and Sue that makes the tonal shift successful from mordant wit into full-bore slapstick. His world is a wilder, more eventful place than theirs.   Zahn is having a great career as a character actor with a specialty in comedy (rent Happy, Texas to see him at his goofball-silliest). He&amp;#039;s funny in Management, too, but he&amp;#039;s poignant-funny, vulnerable-funny, and genuinely touching as someone sandbagged by love. It turns out that all he has to do is brush his hair out of his eyes and put on a clean shirt for you to think, Jesus, woman, get him while he&amp;#039;s hot. Aniston is something of an iron maiden here: a woman toughened by disappointment who&amp;#039;s decided to get what she can even if it isn&amp;#039;t what she really wants. At one point, Mike tells Sue, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re really sweet,&amp;quot; then, in the face of her disbelief, mumbles, &amp;quot;beneath...&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;Beneath what?&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;Beneath the part of you that isn&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot;   He could be describing Aniston&amp;#039;s performance. Management is a romantic comedy for our time. Neither Sue nor Mike makes much money, but she&amp;#039;s big on recycling, and her dream (he didn&amp;#039;t have one before they met) is to open a homeless shelter with good soup and a place to play midnight basketball. How can we not love that? Finding Sue has opened Mike up, and what&amp;#039;s revealed is a very big heart. Sometimes, size does matter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
