Yeah she isn't in the movie a lot, but the scenes she is in are pretty memorable.
shareshe plays the wife of the main cast's neighbour. She is in id say about 20 mins of this movie
shareShe plays this pompous 'perfect' neighbour. She does a great job though. It's not a cameo part, it's more a supporting role.

she did an okay job, but nothing outstanding. to be honest, i didn't even realize it was hilary swank in this role.
share'i didn't even realize it was hilary swank in this role.'
Yes, because she played it so well that you only saw the character.
I think she made the best of that role and it was a funny part. Especially in the end where she's telling Betty to clean the shyt or have her husband clean it. She speaks in this polite tone and is all pretentiously nicey nice when she's just a pompous bitch, lol.

well, i don't know... i generally am not a big fan of swank.
I think she's either excellent or terribly bad. There are some roles that suit her to the T ('Million Dollar Baby', 'P.S. I Love You' and 'Boys Don't Cry') and others where she's terribly miscast ('The Gift', 'The Black Dahlia'). so she's an actress of both extremes.

who was she in your dreams?
shareDream 1:
She plays this dame who's obsessed with fur coat (yes that's a put off) but she looked great. this was before she got too skinny. Anyway, she had this briefcase full of money and was on the run from the mafia. John Travolta is the kingpin. He and his goons are chasing her through the train station (the one near our faculty). A frantic nicole bumps into me and asks for help. We run together and find a porsche. Quickly, we hop in and drive away. Travolta is following us with his limousine. Kidman explains that she stole the money but doesn't regret it because mafia steal from others. She told me how romantic she thought that I was helping her. We look into each other's eyes and just as we're about to kiss, Travolta's car hits the bumper. That's when the dream broke
Dream 2:
Nicole kidman is at our faculty with her pregnant girlfriend Julia Roberts. They're here to give a lecture on lesbianism. I'm sitting at the front row. Lecture finishes. We're heading out but just at the gate Julia's water breaks and the baby is about to come out right this minute. No time to call an ambulance. Nicole says: calm down, baby. You're gonna be alright. then they give each other a passionate kiss. End of dream.

analysis:
dream 1:
you clearly want to have a life of fame and fortune, at least some part of you wants it. in your dream kidman is obsessed with fur coats; you do not like fur coats but yet you dream of them and they are associated positively (with kidman). fur coats are known to be expensive, a symbol of material riches. you also dream of porsche and limousine as well as stolen money which were stolen from other people. therefore, the reoccuring theme in your dream is money/material riches.
you either long for it, or you are overwhelmed by it.
dream 2:
you dream of a lesbian couple yet with one of them being pregnant. you are an observer of julia and roberts and do not actually take an active part in it. you are also the observer in the lecture, the focus in your dream is that you sit in the front row. that can mean an array of things. perhaps you feel in your romantic life like you are an observer rather than participant, or perhaps you feel like in crisis situations you are rather an observer than participant. maybe you're just into lesbians.

I think that she is an extremely gifted actress and I've always enjoyed any movie that she's been in. Even the movie 'Million Dollar Bay' Generally i'm not really into fight movies apart from the 'Rocky' movies as my mum had a crush on Sylvester Stallone when I was little, anyway getting back on track :) I even liked that movie and was in tears in the end! Ps I love You was amazing and i thought she was really good in 'The Gift' I must say i ahve not seen 'Black Delilah' no doubt i will though and i am sure it will be just as good

Why would you call her that? I mean the guy just took a dump on her front lawn... throughout the movie he kept on getting upset about the dog dumping in his yard but you never once see him knock on their door and tell them about it. Why was she pompous? All she did throughout the movie was bring her baby over and fix her lawn.
