First, Rupert Everett used Aniston as an example of mediocrity being rewarded in Hollywood, and then critic David Thomson, Editor of The Biographical Dictionary Of Film, lambasts Aniston over her work while saying she is still so likable.
Thomson says of Jennifer: "She’s in her 40s now and her £5 million-a-movie career cannot go on for much longer. But rather in the manner of Doris Day, while one can make gentle fun of Jennifer Aniston, it’s hard to dislike her."
Everett was more unkind. "OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club. And she will still manage to ... like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula."

Popeater outlines Aniston's Box Office totals and compares to Everett's, which are quite meager. "Everett's last film, the $8 million British flick 'Wild Target,' made, um, $108,589 domestically and just under $3 million in foreign markets. People in glass houses ..."
