Chris Evans as a hunky country boy?

Nothing, that's what! -is fully prepared to suffer through it even if it's boring, just to look at him-

He was rediculously hot in this movie. wheeew. I suffered through this movie also just to see him. And in the suit, he looked soooooooo gooooood.
that's all I can say.

celebrity crush of the moment: Shawn Hatosy

Chris is seriously hot in this.

I like how his character is so conflicted.

He's torn between what he is now - a poor person, lowest rung of society - and his aspirations to be more than high society, to take care of his parents and honor his reputation as the governor's grandson.

He likes Vinnie, her simplicity, the poor status they share. But he dislikes her dishonesty, and even when she brings the diamond back, and he compliments her on doing it, her response turns him off.

"What choice did I have?"

Meaning if he hadn't announced the diamond had been found, she wouldn't have turned it in.

He knows Fisher is best for him

Great scene where Jimmy is waiting for Fisher with his dad on the porch and he brings up the fact that his rich patroness wants to be with him sexually.

It's awkward for both. The son is telling the father that he is going to pimp himself out and go all the way for marriage and the father, obviously uncomfortable with the idea, can't offer him any better options.

It's a moral morass for both.

Jimmy does make the material choice, but I think both he and Fisher. both painfully honest and honorable, will be pleasantly surprised with each other.

I don't know if I'll make it, but watch how good I'll fake it

I worked with Chris Evans back in the early to mid 90's. He did some stage work for me; livetheatre. His ability to act, even then, was parallelled by no one. You will note in this film (as was the case in London) that Mr. Evans has acting skills far beyond what has made him a multi millionaire. He is a gifted, gifted actor. Just look at the scene with his mother in the assylum and then watch him standing in the rain afterward. Chris is intelligent with good instincts. I'm delighted that his body got you to the box officve and that you're all prepared to "sit thrpough" this film just to watch him, but do me a favor: REALLY watch him because he does Tennesee Williams justice and this film is an opporrunity of a lifetime for any actor. To stumble upon an unpublished and unproduced screenplay by Williams is akin to someone in England finding an unproduced Shakespeare play in a trunk out in the carraige house.

Pay attention. Your "hunk" is going places, is a stronger actyor than Tom Cruise; can clearly do the accents and character roles like Meryl Streep and I'm telling you, there are not many male actors in his generation who can do that.
