Phoebe


Why in the name of god did they cast Elizabeth Berkley to play the part? You're supposed to believe that she's an older looking 16 or 17 year old (I forget which), yet she looks like she's about thirty. I know that she was about 24 when it came out, but it's a little ridiculous.

I think the role of Phoebe LaVelle was a great role for Elizabeth after what happened with Showgirls. It was a good small part for her in the movie. She was really good.

I don't know about thirty, but I agree that they could've
cast someone better. Nothing against Elizabeth Berkely, but they could've gone with someone who was, maybe, eighteen or nineteen at the time. Might've made it a little funnier. Just my opinion.

Could of, would of, and should of are nonsensical phrasings. The correct way to write it is could've or could have, would've or would have, and should've or should have. Yes, I'm a bit of a grammar nazi.

No, She was great! You see a bit of Jessie and Nomi put together. It's easy to imagine she's a 16 year old pretending to be 21, the way she says "PIZZA!!!" when the bell rings, then gushes all over Elise.
