Why did they have to get an ugly, dorky guy to play Ben? If Ben was really cute, it would have made the whole movie much better. That sounds superficial but I don't care, that dude was just ugly! They could have got someone better for Julia Roberts!
shareBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. Subjective. All of that. There's plenty of women who find Kevin Anderson attractive. He's not a Frankenstein.
shareYou're out of your mind moviefreak, Kevin Anderson is GORGEOUS!!
You're right; it was superficial. Moreover, he's not ugly at all; he just doesn't happen to appeal to you.
Aside from that, why do you think the love interest has to be classically handsome? In what way would that have benefited the plot? She falls in love with him because he's a nice guy who makes her feel safe, not because he's a male model. To extrapolate on that, she fell for her first husband's charm, looks, class, and wealth, and look where that got her. Part of her personal growth is that she can now love a man not for his superficial charm and elegance and the way he can sweep her off her feet, but for his character.
That guy was a creepy mf'er... and his prissy voice just made him nauseating
shareHe wasn't ugly, he was just an ordinary guy. Personally I didn't find her husband to be much of a looker either. And he had the ass of a 45 year old housewife.
But frankly he was supposed to just be a nice guy who treated her like a human being. He didn't need to be a model.
Why did they get an ugly Tooth Fairy play Laura?

That's just like your opinion, man (woman?)! :P
I personally found him insanely cute and charming. I would fall heels over head for a guy like him.
The movie is on now and I've seen it many times. Ben is cute, I used to wonder why he was a co-star Julia didn't date. Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, Keifer Sutherland.
