It's really horrifying to watch the gorgeous Kate hook up with J Black


What the World is coming to? Geez. I can't believe that sorry excuse for director chose that short fat moron Jack Black to be Kate's guy in the movie!! Really appaling and gross. Why the hell she accepted that role? To the hell with the money, she should have turned it down.

What was even worse for me was Shannyn Sossamon pleading for him to take her back.

In what world does someone like Jack Black get to choose between Sossamon and Winslet? Two of the finest looking women this world has ever prduced.

I say that as a fan of Jack Black too, although admittedly I thought he was awful in this film.

A terrible movie all round.

I just watched the movie and loved Jack Black in this role. He was what Iris said in the film, a really decent man and that is because she could see, and really needed, someone with fine qualities. Perhaps the OP is really young and I see over 60 replies, so I hope that wasn't wasted on a troll. They were pretty strong words used in the op.

All you ladies saying how charming and sweet you thought Jack Black was in the role, and that it doesn't matter how good-looking someone is if they were an a$s hole.

You know deep down, even though you wouldn't admit it, that you would fall for the a$s h0le every single time and not give Jack Black a second look, no matter how nice he was to you!

You ladies can't resist an bas tard - you love the risk, the lure of an animal. A chump like Jack Black provides security and sweetness, but won't get your knickers wet like a Miles or Jasper can!

Hey Steve. *beep* off.

Did you see Miles' original girlfriend. Okay, SHE is way too hot. Kate Winslet, it's possible.

I am totally into Jack Black! He's incredibly sweet and attractive in this and in real life. I would definitely go for him!

Very interesting post!

Even as a fan of Jack Black, he was horribly miscasted in this film. Somebody must've owed him a favor for him to get the role.

Every so-called “beautiful” (on the outside) woman that I’ve ever known who always gravitated toward extremely good looking men has ended up extremely unhappy and divorced. One of my coworkers is on her third marriage. Maybe this one will stick because she didn’t fall for him for his looks (he’s very plain) but for his character.
