I agree. I don't particularly like Julia Stiles and I don't think that she's a great actress.

Fast-forward 15 years, and it's obvious from their movie/tv careers which is the better actress. One plays teenage roles, while the other plays intelligent roles
.

reply

Julia is a bigger movie star, but Kirsten is a better actress.

reply

By far, Kirsten!

reply

they both suck but if i had to choose it would be julia.

reply

i think kirsten she is a very natural actress.

reply

Julia Stiles is by far better than kirsten and much prettier in my opinion

reply

She´s not the least bit natural, i think julia stiles is far better and definetly more of a natural talent than kirsten (sorry about my spelling)

reply

Gyllenhaal definitely, though the others perform competently. Not much to
choose between Dursten and Stiles.

reply

Maggie beats them both hands down...and dare i say she is also more sexy?

reply

Kirsten for sure.

reply

Laura Allen, who played Betty Warren's (Kirsten Dunst) best friend Susan Delacorte, is better than Kirsten AND Julia Stiles. You can see Laura Allen as Lily Moore on USA Network's hit limited series "The 4400".

reply

who are you, her agent?

reply

"who are you, her agent?"

Lol, no... thats the webmistress of Laura Allen's official site. If you check all the posts in the Laura Allen board you'll see she has posted in every one of them as well.

ditto... dunst just pulls off the vindictive bitch perfectly in this role

reply

kirsten dunst is the beszt

reply

It's hard to compare Stiles and Dunst as they are two different actresses. According to their characters, I think Dunst did a great job of pulling off the "bitch" role. However, I am a bigger fan of Stiles. The fact that she and Roberts, who is my favourite actress ever, were starring in a movie together was the reason I even went to see Mona Lisa Smile.

reply

I think they're both good actresses, but Julia Stiles is more consistant and has taken on a few more challenging roles than Kirsten Dunst - I'd like to see Kirsten try and stretch herself a bit more. I also saw Julia in a play in London a few months ago and she really blew me away. She should definitely do some more theatre.

reply

JULIA STILES! I dont like Kristen Dunst very much

reply

They are both mediocre actresses so far. We'll just wait and see if they'll do anything memorable in the future.

I think Kirsten, especially in this role, is better then both Julia's! But Maggie is the best by far. Julia Roberts, I have never understood why people think she is an amazing actress all she has is a huge smile and a loud laugh that gets used too much. This movie was really good when dealing with the girls themselves, but not with Miss Watson, that part was totally disjointed and made no sense. And nothing about Miss Watson made me think she was that great, once you strayed from your path she dissapproved. So not sure if that Was Roberts fault at not playing the character better or the writing.

reply

i am a huge kirsten fan, so i have to say kirsten. and bitches are cooler anyway..

julia's not that bad. maggie gylenhaal and especially ginnifer goodwin are great.
julia roberts is just julia roberts.

i think the movie rushed everything, so the actors couldn't show their best.

reply

no no Maggie Gyllenhaal all the way!
julia stiles close in second tho - i hate kirsten dunst!!!!!

I just stopped the movie to the point when Maggie's character is in the cold air, and it seems both are preety good. Well, I'llgo watch the rest.
