she's awful


melanie Griffith is an awful actress. You can't be the same character in Working Girl, Born yesterday and Shining Through. You just can't.


Ahhh what a famous mother will get you.....

Because yesterday she didn't and today, she does.

Melanie Griffith is a fine actress, after all she received an Academy Award for "Working Girl". She also was fascinating (in a very different part) in "Something Wild" with Ray Liotta and Jeff Daniels or think of the thriller "Pacific Heights" with Michael Keaton and Matthew Modine.

Everybody tries to make Griffith look bad or even blame her for playing the same part over and over again. Hey, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day did exactly the same thing: playing the same role over and over again.

Actually Griffith has played a few very different parts in her movie career and people are ignorant, not familiar with her filmography and refuse to give her credit for that.

I wish I could find as many favorite movies in Jodie Foster's filmography (another actress that I appreciate very much) as I can find in Melanie Griffith' filmography. And this is just one example.

Actually, she was NOMINATED for the Academy Award for her part in Working Girl but didn't win. She did, however, win the Golden Globe for that role.

Like geosar-1 I also like Melanie Griffith, especially in "Shining Through" and in "Working Girl". She doesn't come across as glamorous and dumb as so many of Hollywood's bimbos nowadays. They all look alike and are interchangeable.
I though Melanie Griffith is very convincing in her role, very natural.
Not the kind of power house, over-bearing self-confident strong women...there are almost no movies without strong women. But in real life there are many not so strong women, and many less self-confident women. For Melanie Griffith impersonates one of those "normal" women at a time when most women didn't have much freedom or their own money or could make their own decisions.

I agree with Penelopelane her "acting" is atrocious and I can't stand her Jeniffer Tilly type voice. Why do people hire her?

I totally agree, her performance ruined the rating of this movie. The same role played by Sigourney Weaver, and this would by far be a better movie.

It's distracting and annoying the way she is always running her tongue over her lips. We all do this,ut she seems to have made a trademark from it.

I think she thinks it's a sexy move, and her daughter Dakota, another crappy actress, does exactly the same thing.
