My instinct tells me her Mother was not dead but left her. Brooke appears to be her aunt (just something I suspected). I think she was abused by her Mother's boyfriend as a child, yes. But she wasn't currently being abused. I suspect she was apprehended by child protective services as a child due to the abuse and her real mother lost custody or walked out.
This movie is very, very sad. It has a dark cloud hanging over it for many reasons. The main character is mentally ill and the suicide attempt was quite disturbing for a movie marketed as a comedy. I know the film tried to even make light of he jumping off the bridge as it was too low of a jump to kill her but she still attempted.. and if it was a much higher bridge then...
Then you have the aspect of her parents dying in a plane crash as a child. A man running off with her money and leaving her with nothing. The little girl she becomes a nanny to who's father's is in a Persistent vegetative state in a home care setting who dies in the film and who has a mother who doesn't care about her. Add in Britney Murphy's premature death several years later in real life and it seals the film's fate as being a tragic drama and not a comedy.
This film is tragic. They try to add in some happy moments but it's ineffective.
Slavic people are generally more crime prone than other whites. Most Whites are well behaved. Slavic people have more of a penchant for crime and that's just the way it is which is what makes Russians as well as other slavs so troubling.
Heath Ledger. She gave him a fatal overdose.
She killed a man so yes.. she's creepy.
Vanessa should have never been involved with kids movies and Disney. That requires a near straight laced code of behavior.
Vanessa was better suited for men's magazines than doing Disney.
I have to be honest and say her "naughty" photos were always impressive. Better than the Kar-trash-ians. Vanessa was at least naturally beautiful.
Yes that wig was terrible. They could have given her beachy waves that gave her an 'undone' look.
Emma Stone was only about 21 in the film but looked much younger and was dwarfed by Bryce Dallas Howard on acting ability (the older more experienced actress).
Rachel had left the southern way of life for a long time. Black people in the north experienced racism but they still had the right to vote and be full citizens. Black people in the south did not have those rights. Her mother acted submissive because that was the racial code while this type of "submissive behavior" made zero sense to Rachel who was living the city life in the north.
So she "sass mouthed" (as they say in the film) her Mother's employer causing her Mother to lose a job.
The look he gave everyone after he said "it ain't" I always thought was odd. It was though he was admitting to not being a man.. it's subtle though.
Obviously he got into big trouble with the law when he was a she..
Looks terrible. But she lived hard. tabloids used to talk about her weight issue and how she smoked years ago. If you don't remember she had an eating disorder years back and was one of the thinnest working actress's at the time. It wore down her body and caught up with her.
She is lucky she even survived.
