It's art imitating life! Jennifer Aniston pulls from her past to play a jilted wife in the new dark comedy Life of Crime. Maybe that whole pesky Angelina Jolie stealing Brad Pitt from her actually paid off!

In the film, Aniston appears alongside Isla Fischer, Tim Robbins, Mos Def Will Forte and John Hawkes.

The movie, which is based on on Elmore Leonard's novel The Switch, follows Mickey Dawson (Aniston, who is a middle-aged woman who is kidnapped and held for ransom in an attempt to extort her husband Frank Dawson (Robbins). But things go haywire when Frank refuses to pay the ransom because he is busy wrapped up with a sexy young plaything (Fischer).

Subtract a ransom and a few kidnappers, and this is basically the plot to Aniston's life...

Life of Crime hits theaters on Aug. 29.
