Without Gwyneth they oughtn't have bothered


No Gwyneth no start. This film will do well in those bohemian little leftist cinemas where the smell of ganja lingers in the cheap-seats. Without Gwyneth no-one else will give a toss.

You are unbelievably stupid.

although an audaciously asinine post, this film would've benefitted if it had more star power attached to it before production -- it probably would've garnered a bigger budget and maybe even a theatrical release. john malkovich -- love him or hate him -- and ray winstone -- probably best known these days for "beowolf" or "the departed" alternatively -- do not have enough star power to draw the attention of the average movie goer. i'd have like to see someone capture the off-shoulder aristocratically european sophistication of heloise as well as gwyneth paltrow captured that wound-up patrician american snobbery in the first film. kristen scott thomas rushes to mind. or someone in the julie delpy to naomi watts strata if they wanted to skew heloise younger....

Isn't Gwyneth the maitr'd at Canal Bar?

"No Gwyneth no start."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - that's classic. okay if that becomes my catchphrase?

You're a tool.

She was a part in a movie that was all about a character from other source material; that main character and the original source material are what any Ripley film is about, not some actress you like.

Why would she be in this? Marge isn't even in this.

Fortunately Ripley's Game had no association with her character.
She just plays her boring self in every role.
She belongs on Glee.....
