Dyan Cannon!

I think she was hilarious and likeable in a pathetic way... and before people start saying she was annoying, well, she was supposed to be whiney. I felt so bad for her character; it's a compelling performance that definitely didn't deserve the Razzie nomination she got. However, even though the Razzies sometimes get it right when they give it to talentless scumbags like Paris Hilton, they've nominated some great people, especially in the 80s (for instance, Stanley Kubrick was nominated as worst director for "The Shining" - WTF?).

She was likeable (lickable) and well cast.

I wanted to eat her pussy. Plain and simple.

😆 And I just defended her on another thread that said she was annoying.
I found her quite likeable. I did not know that they handed out a Razzie to her for this. Strange! 1982 must have been a fine year! Nobody rated a Razzie, so they had to find someone to stick it to.

She performed like she was in a play, not a film. Film making was far better back then, so the standards were higher. Her nomination was well deserved.
