High praise for Aniston from co-star

"She is every guy's dream," Akerman told People magazine when asked about her co-star in the upcoming film "Wanderlust."

"Jennifer is one of my favorite people now," she said at the launch party for Google's Boutiques.com. "Not only is she an extraordinary actress, she is such a loving, genuine woman and fun. You want her to be your best friend."

Akerman added she thought Jen was "amazing."

"I kind of expected her to be amazing," she said. "I would have been more surprised if she hadn't been the great, down-to-earth girl that she is."

Akerman and Aniston spent a lot of time together on the location of "Wanderlust," which was filmed largely in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood.
