With the emotional end of"Friends" and her time as Rachel Green, Jennifer devoted herself full-time to her movie career. She had starring roles in RUMOR HAS IT with Kevin Costner and Shirley Maclaine, DERAILED with Clive Owen and the box office hit THE BREAK UP with Vince Vaughn. For her role as a depressed housekeeper in director Nicole Holofcener's FRIENDS WITH MONEY, the independent film which also starred Frances McDormand and Catherine Keener and for which Jennifer received some of the best reviews of her career.

She also starred alongside leading men Gerard Butler in THE BOUNTY HUNTER and Aaron Eckhart in LOVE HAPPENS. Adam Sandler played her leading man in the comedy hit JUST GO WITH IT.
