Please help me with a difficult sentence
The following sentence is from China's Graduate Entrance Exam 2011. I need native speaker's help.
But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting "the Rachel" might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.
Can somebody explain the structure and the meaning of the whole sentence, especialy the last part: in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting "the Rachel" might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.
does this sentence leave some words out?
