USA Today
The best romantic comedies intoxicate like vintage champagne. Picture Perfect, on the other hand, is like a wine spritzer. Insubstantial and oversweet, it still refreshes as a midsummer brain cooler. [1 August 1997, p. 3D] - 63
ReelViews
Unfortunately, Picture Perfect uses embarrassing contrivances to sabotage what should have been a pleasant excursion down a familiar road. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
It's a shame the plot is so contrived, because parts of this movie are really pretty good. - 50
The New York Times
The film bounces busily among these players until it has to slow down and pretend to be sincere. - 50
The A.V. Club
Though "extremely mediocre" may seem like an oxymoron, no phrase better defines Picture Perfect. Aside from wearing, with visual discomfort, a series of absurdly revealing dresses, Aniston does little to distance herself from her "Friends" persona with this slightly less likable character. - 50
Rolling Stone
Jennifer Aniston is a friend in need of a movie script that will really let her talent blossom. Picture Perfect is too TV-ish and timid a romantic farce to do the trick. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Another romantic comedy about a career woman who has everything except a man, is Jennifer Aniston's attempt to break out of her TV role. But she doesn't have the magic on the big screen to make us forget where she came from. - 40
Austin Chronicle
The result is a vacuous feel-good movie that leaves you feeling nothing at all.
