Hot take: Kim Basinger gives an astonishingly unfunny performance
Do you agree with this sentiment, in that she was good in certain dramatic roles, but she had zero talent for screwball, physical comedy?

Ever seen Kim in "Blind Date"? One of the worst, most awkward, least funny comedic performances I've ever seen. I don't see how the director watched the dailies and didn't immediately fire her and recast the role. It's memorably awful. She can be fine in the right vehicle, or a train wreck in the wrong one.
