Tomei was too pretty for the role


She was supposed to be a past-her-prime hottie who no longer has the looks to attract men. Looking at her, though, I still saw a 10/10 beauty, which was inconsistent with her character.

For example, there was a scene in the strip club where the guy refused a dance from her. In another scene, the young men were mocking her age.

But I can't imagine anyone treating a beauty like her that way.

I agree she's beautiful (and her body was perfect!!) but she was definitely showing her age a bit in the face....most young men I know would prefer a young 20 something "hottie" stripper to someone her age. Men can be jerks, lol!!

I'm pretty sure most men would prefer an older stripper with skills like her compared to some 20 year old that doesn't have a clue.

Great looking lady but past her prime as far as being a dancer goes. Pretty realistic.

You obviously have not been to many strip bars.
