I honestly think this could've been a classic if it weren't for Kudrow..


Her presence alone brought this movie down a couple notches, her acting did the rest. Any movie starring that deformed ostrich instantly loses a significant amount of credibility.

deformed ostrich? Don't be a douche

"Any movie starring that deformed ostrich instantly loses a significant amount of credibility."

So it's pretty much like any thread containing a post from you then?

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. She is a TERRIBLE actress. The only thing she could ever play is Phoebe. Awkward timing, idiotic lines. That's Kudrow.

reply

Well, the neo feminists like her because she is a woman who is considered very funny.

Everyone else knows that she may be one of the most obnoxious actresses, and is not funny by a long shot. She seems to think that her corny "eh's" and "Ih's" at the end of every punch line makes her quirky and funny. No.

reply

I completely agree! She is the reason that I haven't seen this movie in a long time because I just can't stand the sight of her. Her acting is so bad and she was just terrible in this. I also find it hard to watch Friends as I thought her portrayal of Phoebe was horrible.

reply

Of all the other Friends actors her and LeBlanc will never in my eyes be anything but Phobe and Joey. They just don't seem to have the scope to do anything else. Even David Schwimmer when I heard he was going to be in Band of brothers I thought 'oh god' but he was excellent.

Matt Leblanc has moved from the Joey role now, as he is so good in Episodes. I break up at him all the time, but I do agree that Kudrow isn't very good in this movie which thankfully she was in it for such a small time that the movie is still awesome.

reply

I'm not a neo feminist but, why insult them by comparing her role in this. Phoebe just didn't fit.

Aww, did a feminist touch you when you were a little kid?

There's no need for such crude insults. However, whilst I have nothing personally against Lisa Kudrow I do think she was miscast here. Wasn't her character meant to be a demure Middle-America WASP? That just doesn't strike me as Kudrow's forte.

reply

I didn't like her in the movie either. For the record, I didn't like her in Analyze That either.

"Thing" is a little harsh, and I must also disagree as I think she played one other role equally as well: Ursula.

reply

She had a minor role, dumbass. Her screen time amounted to less than 20 minutes and she ruined the movie for you? Hater
