this movie was filmed almost entirely on my street

I was so excited to go and see this movie, since I had never before seen a movie being made. Tricia Helfer was far too important to lower herself to addressing any of us onlookers. Leelee was aloof, but on the last day she at least briefly spoke to the kids. The movie itself isn't absolutely terrible, but it is by no means good either. Infact, Leelee's performance was so forced, amateurish and unconvincing, she managed to ruin the whole movie for me. Although she's certainly no beauty (eyes are too close together, huge potato-like head, no-style blah hair, ridiculously tiny lips)), she has got legs for miles and looks fabulous in her 2 or 3 outfits. Tricia Helfer, although I had no idea she existed before this movie, has a knock-out body. Surprisingly her performance was much better than Leelee's, but in the wrong light (anything above a 30 watt bulb) she looks incredibly old. Sunlight isn't necessarily her friend. The story is so stupid and unlikely, and the incredible passion and love Leelee's character Alberta feels for Paul (Tierney)after knowing him for an hour, under a fake name and false pretenses, is insulting to the average viewer. It's just a thoughtless script, appearing to have been thrown together at the last minute, simply avoiding any questions of logic, which exists minimally in this film. All in all, don't waste your money, the reviews on the poster mislead you into thinking this film is decent. Unfortunately, and I mean that sincerely, it simply is nothing close to decent.

Well I have to respectfully disagree. I think Leelee is gorgeous. Beautiful face. Enchanting eyes. Wonderful body.

I will not watch this movie because your street sucks.. Sorry for flaming but insignificant thread subjects and overly verbose posts annoy the *beep* out of me. Don't bother replying because I will never visit this thread again.

I loved the movie. I didn't expect much and was very surprised how funny it was.

Well beauty IS in the eyes of the beholder. I thought that the movie was quite good for an indie. I agree that her performance seemed a bit forced but I think that might have had more to do with the direction rather than her acting abilities.

If I was in the position of playing the part of a dominatrix without knowing what the hell I was doing, I think I might be a little nervous too. Of course she would have gone into the role of Celene(sp?) as if she had been doing that all her life. I liked the way the direction went with her character and Paul seemed like the perfect first client for her because had never been dominated before and had no idea that his dominatrix had no idea how to be a dominatrix.

I don't think that she really felt passionate about Paul at first but she felt really sorry for him seeing him getting kick butt kicked in front of her and all. It was when Paul's boss tracked her down that Things went all crazy and she and Celene decided to band together to help Paul but even that was only because they wanted to get the money and not because she had any real feelings for him.

Im STILL waiting for a second decent performance to come since her amazing role in "joan of arc".
But I think I'll have to wait a couple more years...
and btw... leelee is a beauty!
