Jennifer Westfeldt - triple threat!


It's so inspiring to see women succeed in film as Jennifer has! She is a true talent - acting, writing, AND directing! Wow! I think she's great and wish there were more women out there who were making it work!

I’m so inspired by her! She's a phenomenal actress who has done so well in many roles! I remember when she started out and was in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, what a funny show! She clearly had the chops for comedy! Next she did Kissing Jessica Stein and played a completely different character (who I love) and now, in Friends with Kids, she's played a new character. I loved Julie, she was so lovable and conflicted. I thought Jennifer captured even the smallest emotions so perfectly.

I've been following Jennifer's career since I first saw her in 2 Guys and I've never been disappointed. Keep going, Jennifer! Love your work!

It's exciting to see people like Jennifer Westfeldt becoming successful. I just love her! I believe she became a triple threat because of her incredible passion for acting. When the good opportunities and roles were not available, she created them herself. I can only imagine the work she will produce as her network grows. Jennifer Westfeldt is one of my favorite triple threats, haha. Let's be real. She's a versatile actor, a true beauty, an intelligent writer, great director, and a diligent producer. She performs on TV, films, and the stage. All of the work she produces is high quality too. I'm very excited for her success!

Right?! She's a force to be reckoned with. Triple threats have always fascinated me. Like, are they just naturally gifted in everything or do they work on those skills? I think Jennifer has a natural gift for acting and incredible passion and bravery. I think she's really intelligent, a go-getter, and therefore deserving of her success. I'm so glad to see that you all share in the same feelings. I love her work and what she stands for. She's paving the way for other female talent.

She's amazing! Artist are creative in more than just one way and when you're an artists who's as passionate as Jennifer, you will access that creativity, no matter the medium, and work to improve your skills and knowledge, to pursue your artistic goal. Jennifer is a natural talent but she's also intelligent, not to mention, an ivy league graduate. She's passionate; she creates work for herself, she collaborates on projects, and she's always performing. She has guts; in a male dominated industry she pushed forward with her projects. And she's won multiple awards! I think she's very empowering and it's refreshing to have a female like her in the entertainment industry who acts, writes, directs, produces, and connects talent. It's always a joy to see her on the screen. Not only am I entertained by her work but I know where she comes from and what she stands for. Jennifer Westfeldt is simply amazing!

My only problem was her. I just don't like Jennifer Westfeldt. I think she wrote a great script, I really do, and her directing was commendable... but watching her face... it just, it's weird. I find her awkward on screen.

I'm not weird. I'm limited edition.

That's because it's obvious she's had recent plastic surgery. She's only 44 and I thought she looked great. I am disappointed she did not think that what she had was not good enough. Like you said, it makes her different, stiff and her nose is too small now. I saw Mary Steenburgen recently and her surgery makes her look like a freak. Sure it will smooth your skin out, but I will change your face - forever.

I would have enjoyed the movie had ANYONE ELSE played the leading role. I don't know who she is, but she was awful. Her face was strange and distracting and that was all I could focus on. Notice how the camera NEVER stays on her face... quickly shifts to the other actors. What were they thinking casting her in the leading role.

Love ALL the other actors in the film and was so looking forward to loving this movie. Total miscast.

reply

That explains it! I was distracted by her face while watching the movie...like there's something wrong. It's sad how she chose to alter her face. Look what happened.

I browsed Google for her old pictures and I must say she was pretty.

Her nose now is too small for her face. Poor Jennifer! But I still admire her many talents. Go girl!

a true talent indeed!
