John Krasinski - terrible lack of range


John is great as Jim in the Office. But man, I have never been impressed with his work in movies. He has been merely servicable in his bit roles. But as a leading guy, he was a total disaster. His mugging for the camera was really really cringeworthy. All he does is widen his eyes, do the eyebrow thing, and then look unconvingly exasperated. He was so stiff in every scene I saw. I couldn't watch this movie in its entirety. I kept leaving the room to do errands or was surfing the internet.

Worst actor of 2007

He was playing a 'go with the flow' guy who was strained with her family. I guess you missed the part where she said that about him. I didn't see any mugging for the camera, I always catch that myself.

I totally agree saneman, I think Jim Helbert is the role he was born to play.... but maybe he should have left it there?
