Butler and Biel wasted in films like these


2 of the best actors around and still they sign up for this...

Butler should stick to 300 and RocknRoller type films. He is wasted in boring romcoms.

I am always surprised Biel gets so many poor roles. She is a good actress and very attractive. Roles such as in Total Recall should be the minimum she aims at and she should really target more films like the illusionist.

2 of the best actors around?

I'm sorry but Butler was a couple good flicks but nothing to extraordinary and Biels only good film(acting wise) was powder blue. I think you're over valueing them.

With that said, this movie was alright, not a great Rom Com but worth my money and an evening out.

Agreed. Luckily, Biel was in "The Tall Man" in 2012 and is starring in "Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes" which is getting rave reviews from it's festival tour. I hope she starts accepting roles good roles only, these types of films are a dime a dozen.

Uh, Jessica Biel was nominated for a Razzie for this film. And what has she done that shows she's a good actress anyway?

The Tall Man, London, Easy Virtue, Powder Blue, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
But I'm sure you're just some guy who likely has only seen Total Recall and judges her from that one blockbuster role.
She ain't no Oscar material, but compared to Uma Thurman she's amazing.

I'm a woman. I haven't even seen the remake of Total Recall. Why would I waste my time? So, try again.

Uma Thurman is BETTER.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Thanks for the laugh. The only film I found Jessica to be fairly good in is The Rules of Attraction.

Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?

And Quaid, don't forget Quaid.

RocknRoller
You mean RocknRolla?
