Reese Witherspoon's Best Movie


Well, that's what I think, anyway...

"Election" comes a close second, but for me, this is her best movie...

I agree those two movies are the only reason Im a fan

It's not, but it might be her best performance. She was great!

Reese can sleepwalk through movies like Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blonde.

Bringing Vanessa to life and having her character be likeable took real acting chops.

Plus she was so young when she did this. Amazing!

reply

This and Election are her best two films.

I remember sneaking and watching this movie when I was 11 or 12 on Showtime. We had one of those huge satellites in our backyard that used to pick up all kinds of channels. I would be up in the middle of the night watching so many movies I shouldn't be watching. Anywho I loved this movie as a kid! This was way before burners existed and I was recording on SVHS (super vhs for the kiddies lol).

I would say Reese can play a convincing white trash Wal-mart Queen, but she was really too cute to be trailer trash and I didn't really buy her as tough. Now the Pennsatucky (sp) girl on Orange is The New Black owns the role, and the bad teeth and hair help a lot.

This is still the ONLY movie I'll even watch her in.

When there's no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

reply

Agreed. I think Fear and Freeway are her best films.
