I hated Drew Barrymore


Her character was so annoying and dense. She works for Greenpeace but hadn't done any research about the grey whales she was trying to save? She just came across as one of those pseudo intellectuals who gets on her high horse about everything.

She had least popular character sewn up until the news woman smiled when she learned about the death of the baby whale.

I don't know if she mailed it in, but her performance wasn't good.

I found her character irritating...but i figured that was the perfect way to portray someone from Greenpeace

reply

Did you not know what the movie was about before you watched it? I mean if you find Greenpeace and it's members to be irritating, why would you watch it?

reply

They made her character seem really stupid and full of stereotypes.

reply

She really did sink the movie. I started to dislike her so much that I almost didn't even care about the whales any more.

reply

I'm not a fan of hers anyway; typically she sucks as an actress and I can't
stand the way she talks - something about her mouth is weird (although she's great in Grey Gardens - I think that's the only movie she's really good in). Her character in this wasn't likeable either.

She is fine as an actress normally, but her character was just a terrible person. It honestly took away from the story.

They made everyone one dimensional and stereotypical.

ITA with your whole comment which was brief but comprehensive.Thank you,I appreciate that. I watched it up to the moment when the young whale died. I would bet that the death certificate would record....'Death by embarrassment'! Poor little bugger.
