Should I be laughing at Rob Lowe's performance?


From what I've seen in these commercials, it looks like Rob Lowe's just trying to do an impression of Drew Peterson. It almost looks like he's doing a skit from Saturday Night Live. Plus, what casting agent really thought Rob Lowe would be good for this role? The two don't look anything a like. I know makeup helps, but casting an actor with a similar physique would have been better. Rob Lowe is too boyish, even for his age now. The guy is ageless. Drew Peterson, however, is chubby and looks like the Lion from Wizard of Oz. Come to think of it, John Goodman could have played this role. He lost a lot of weight, but he is still chubby enough to resemble Drew Peterson. But Rob Lowe? lol.

Rob Lowe did a great job. He was hilarious; perfect for a Lifetime movie. So bad it's good. That's why we love Lifetime. This movie was entertaining; mainly because of Lowe.

Plus he put on weight to play this role. He said he stopped all physical activity and ate as much as possible. He even used a high-tech fat-suit for some scenes, like the striptease at the end. Plus just the way his face and hair looked was funny.

He looked funny, but not at all like Drew Peterson. He was way too ripped.
