Julia Roberts' mouth ruined this movie


This is probably the meanest post I've ever made, but THAT MOUTH, oh god, it's the stuff of nightmares. Not only is it ugly (in my opinion, at least - I can imagine some guys might like it cause of the blow job factor), but it also somehow makes her character look really smug, as if she's always somewhere between pursing her lips and grimacing. Unfortunately people are superficial, and body language/facial expressions play a key role in the opinions we form of other people, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is partly why people have such animosity towards her character, and Julia Roberts in general.

I couldn't stop staring at her upper lip. Looked like a huge slab of asphalt.

Julia Roberts is one of the most successful and beloved actresses in the last 30 years of cinema. So I'm not sure what you mean.

reply

She's about as likable as Gwyneth Paltrow.

reply

Totally agree, I think she is amazing in this role...

Her top lip does look weird in this one. She reminded me of Sarah Paulson.

Yes, the woman is vile, greedy, worthless. I'll take Eric Roberts any day. At least he can act.
