Does anyone agree that andie MacDowell got acted off the screen by Anna Chancellor and Imelda Staunton who gave class performances. It's typical that the american gets the lead part, and she's just not that good.

.she was fine... her character was supposed to be mousy and low-key...

she a usually gd actor i mean thoose adverts bout anti wrinkle cream.. i realli wanna buy sum bt yh anna n imelda totally outclassed her.... even the sex scenes were terrible.. i mean .. do people realli make the noises she was making in the car realli????
shareanyone who is in a movie with Staunton gets acted off the screen because she is simply amazing. But other than that i thought Andie was fine
shareAndie can only seem to be 'Andie' in every film I've seen her in.Has she ever played a bitch or a serial killer? If she has, then I would watch it out of sheer curiosity and would probably be disappointed.You can always rely on actresses like Chancellor and Staunton to put on good performances,even if the film has a somewhat unbelievable plot( Crush has, in my opinion)Andie to save a film through a brilliant and emotional take?....Nah.

But she was great in Sex, Lies, and Videotape.
shareShes very wooden. Iv never liked her in a film although
in Groundhog Day shes as good as she's ever likely to be .
Women don't like her because they hate the idea of having to compete with her, however unlikely that eventuality would ever be.
shareShe is a beautiful mature woman and I'm sure she is sweet in real life.It's just her acting leaves a lot to be desired.Cate Blanchett she ain't.
Andie is beautiful, but comes from the modeling world.
She was so bad in "Tarzan" [her first feature film] her voice was completely overdubbed by Glenn Close.

It wasn't her voice was so bad in "Tarzan", it was just her thick Southern twang was so heavy that she was re-dubbed with the more aristocratic tones of Glenn Close. Her acting was still good, otherwise, they would have cast a completely different actress for the role.
shareAndie is a sweetheart and beyond beautiful. Is this nationalism? I'm seeing a lot of bashing of Americans. The lady has done a fine job in everything I've seen with her. So what if she's not Meryl Streep? She's certainly good enough. What's important is to have a good time. Enjoy the film and the characters. Not every performance has to be critiqued, and for goodness sake, at least have some courtesy.
shareAndie is a fine actor. I think there're a lot of conformists here. People who would like to go with what others think, thinking that's cooler than saying otherwise. I think it started with her Brit Accent in Four Weddings & a Funeral. Its become like a 'popular' view to make fun of her acting since then.
She's no Meryl Streep - agreed. But she's pretty solid. Those who compare, was Meryl Streep a fashion model who remained L'Oreal's and Gap\s' face for donkey's years? Everyone has their thing. Andie is a famous model turned actress. With such a career, she's really brilliant!
She did a good job (or at least did not look bad in front of co-actors) in Crush much like in many of her other good films like Groundhog Day, Sex, Lies &Videotape (for which she won an Independent Spirit Award for best female lead) and Short Cuts.
I just cannot stand those people who judge without even putting any effort and link those lame 'judgements' to National origin! Do these guys even know some of the most brilliant American actresses? I cannot believe people still do such cliched comparisons - do a little growing up before you come out here and comment!
