Is Sarah Jessica Parker taking Jennifer Aniston's roles?


A while back I was watching The Family Stone (better than expected), and it kinda hit me that Sarah Jessica (that's what the cool people call her) seemed to be making a little big screen push. I know before Sex and the City she did other movies (word to LA Story), but with The Family Stone and the soon-to-be-released Failure To Launch (WTF @ Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates), she's making a real movie-star jump.

And essentially, she's taking Jennifer Aniston's roles: the occasionally-high-strung, good-hearted, stuck-in-a-peculiar-place, People-Magazine-still-thinks-is-hot-but-really-only-was-cute-a-decade-ago, appeals-to-the-chic-18-34-crowd-and-the-Desperate-Housewives-demographic romantic comedy roles.

For Jennifer, there was The Good Girl, and her career looked promising. But then came Bruce Almighty, then Along Came Polly, then the came-and-went Derailed and next a Kevin Costner movie that literally screamed "this is gonna suck but be devoured by old women." And though I don't have box office numbers or rottentomatoes in front of me, in a battle of 2005 family holiday releases between Rumor Has It and The Family Stone, I'd venture the latter came out on top.

Jennifer Aniston stays losing. And we don't even need to mention the whole other thing.

Y'all closet Friends fans placing your faith in Vince Vaughn vehicles?

As of now, SJP has three films inked but yet to be released, can she maintain whatever little wave she's riding?

And as a side question, who did Aniston take roles from before?
