The most overrated actress of all time
Never saw the talent, never saw the appeal, never knew she would be as big as she is. Overrated and not attracted.
You're the garbage man No I just take out the trash
I concur.

MovieChat Forums > Julia Roberts Discussion > The most overrated actress of all time
I like Julia and I think she's great in certain genres, like romantic comedies, and in certain roles where she really has the chance to showcase her range. But she definitely isn't the best actress. I saw her on Broadway a couple years ago, and quite frankly her performance was absolutely terrible. She certainly isn't suited to live theatre acting.
shareWhat you're not doing here is telling us if you ever even SAW any of her movie roles. Hm...
And if she is so 'unattracted' (I am assuming you meant to say 'unattractive'), then how did she land the title role in "Pretty Woman"? If she was (presuambly) so miscast in the role, then how do you account for her Golden Globe win, Oscar nomination, and the huge box office take of the movie itself?
I like her, and most of her movies...but I think if you want to know the REAL Julia, watch Nottinghill. I think Julia Roberts was playing Julia
Roberts, not Anna Scott. I've heard that she can be a real beech.
How do we account for her landing the role in Pretty Woman, winning an Oscar, and everything else you mentioned?
Mass Hysteria.
Makes perfect sense! You could have stretched your logic even further, and come up with something just as brilliant, like: 'she is actually a trained hypnotist who put the entire world into a collective trance, tricking us into liking her!', or 'we just all feel really SORRY for her, and wanted to grant her a show-biz career, to avoid hurting her feelings!'
sharei didn't think anna was a bitch. insecure and paranoid, but not a bitch.
shareMass hysteria? You honestly think people will simply see a movie and give the chick an Oscar because it's what everyone else is into? If so why don't Leonardo DiCaprio (1) or Robert De Niro (2 and not since 1981) win way more Oscars? Do you think Hilary Swank won due to mass hysteria?
It always humors me when people think their opinions outweigh everyone else. I for instance am not a fan of Leo but I can understand why some people do. I don't even like Julia anymore but I do think she deserved her Oscars at the time.
