The female lead


Watching this right now. Wow, she feels so wrong for this part. Very distracting.

I'm sure she's a lovely person, but she doesn't look look a huge movie star.

What we have here is failure to communicate!

You mean in real life? I watched more after I posted. Part of it could have been how they groomed her. Her hair and clothes seemed dowdy and matronly. Not what you'd expect for such a high profile star.

I mean she just doesn't look like a Julia Roberts.

How famouse was she suppos to be? Sandra Bulluck? Give me a range here please.
The only outfit of her's I didn't like was her open back dress.

reply

She was supposed to be the biggest star in the world, or nearly that. That open back dress was really the worst.

Agree completely. She dressed and did her hair like a soccer mom or a business woman. A real movie star would not have worn a sheath dress, clunky jewelry and heels to go on a walk. They would have worn tight jeans, boots and a skimpy little tee-shirt. Her hair was totally wrong. Should have been much more trendy-again, very conservative, even dowdy. and the male lead as well. He looked like a dumb high-school jock, and very much younger than her. Very Poor casting. But in her case, the poor casting could have been ameliorated by better make-up, hair and wardrobe.

Something about her voice really bothers me.

Huge miscast. She's obviously in these groups:

"best friend of the pretty girl"

"confident single woman not looking to marry"

"independent woman doing a man's job"

I like her a lot, but she did not pull off being a world famous anything. I'm a fan of Vincent Spano and she had no chemistry with him or the other guy. Anyway, no way could be the "pretty celebrity woman the world adores" type. Having her in the role threw the whole movie off. She and Clark Gable seemed more like little brother & big sister.

I kept trying to remember what I knew her from but I had to cheat and look at her credits. She played an assistant district attorney on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit".

She was also Abby the Coast Guard lady on NCIS. I think she would have made a far better replacement When Ziva left than the gal who is on there now. I like her in some of the other things she's been in, but you are right about her not being the right person for this role.
