Eating
Have you noticed that in almost every scene Judd is eating?
It's okay because she eats adorably, but she is constantly eating.
Especially in the first 15 minutes.
I noticed that, too, that there is a TON of eating in this movie ! Like, gratuitous eating. I finally listened to some of the commentary, and the director said something like, this was done deliberately because women are seldom shown eating in this type of movie, possibly because of the skinny standard..? I forget now. But it's related to that scene where she tells Eddie, "That's bad? Women who eat?" It was meant to be a comment on it intentionally.
It could be, too, because eating scenes are notoriously difficult due to continuity issues they present, and of course because the actors have to be constantly spitting out the food, which is unpleasant, obviously. But I guess
we usually see so few women eating in RomComs that, when one actually does, it's distracting.
I could have done with a little less eating in the movie. Or at least, if other characters done more of the eating. Actually I think I could watch Hugh Jackman eat forever hehe.
Maybe it was an unconscious thing relating to New Cow Theory, too. Since cows are always chewing, Jane (as a new cow) is always shown munching on something?
