How come it's taken Hollywood this long to match up Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston onscreen? Not only is their chemistry nice and totally believable, these guys actually look like they could have been set up through friends, or met at a bar or whatever: His shaggy hair and busted nose compliments her I'll-always-just-be-the-girl-next-door-no-matter-how-many-times-I-get-naked-in-GQ attitude.
