Neve Campbell horribly miscast INCLUDES ENDING SPOILERS!!!

Heheh. Denise's performance was suitably OTT IMO and I think she did a fine job. I actually love the casting all round except for Neve. I kept having to tell myself she was supposed to be trailer-trash but I had a hard time believing it myself. I also don't really find Neve sexy in the traditional sense. She's more of a thinking man's crumpet no? I think a typical bleach blonde bimbo in the role of Suzy would have been a real sucker-punch come twisteroo time. It would also have added to the joke by challenging the blonde stereotype. The girl you thought was typical trailer-trash is really a genius mastermind. The boat scene at the end would have made more sense if she showed up with dark-dyed hair instead of being the other way round

As for my motives, I happen to be gay, but I still know sexy when I see it ;) Neve was playing pretty much the same character here that she played in Scream. In that film, her role was one of a classy, studious virgin and she played it brilliantly. The role of Suzy required something that Neve inherently isn't IMO. Someone with a K-POW body, who's super-sexy yet trashy and that looks like she actually belongs in those threesome scenes. When sharing the screen with Denise, Neve looks like a frumpy heifer. Theresa Russell could've pulled it off I agree although she was prolly a tad too old to play her. I think the character demanded much more of the naive, annoying, childish... think Jennifer Tilly in Bullets Over Broadway. It would have made her 'death' scene much sadder and the reveal a lot more explosive

Exactly. Neve played the role as the character was very complex. But as far as looks are concerned, she was dissapointing. If I had a choice for the casting. I would pick Jennifer Love Hewitt to play Suzy. That would be the perfect casting.

Iam a Neve Campbell fan and i strongly disagree with anyone who finds her unattractive! Different taste for diff. people. Who are you to decide the other one is best and Neve is worst? Don't you have minimum ethics that her fans feel insulted on your own views made by your lens? I for myself didn't find what is there in the other girl! Neve is the best and special.

AGREE! Saying Neve unattractve just because these people don't doesn't mean she isn't! Such entitlement these guys have! I found the other girl non attractive but i thought may be others wud find her attractive.

She was the best choice. Suzy isn't a dumb girl, she's extremely intelligent and she's not supposed to be a va-va-va-voom. Campbell was actually offered the Kelly part and chose to play Suzy.

"Sometimes, a girl needs a half." Sex and The City

I think Campbell did the great as well as Kevin Bacon.

I think it just comes down to her really, just her bad one-note acting. I was never a fan of hers to begin with. She was horribly miscast in “Wild Things”. Denise frickin Richards out-acted her in that one. Denise Richards, for crying out loud! Campbell’s performance in “Wild Things” was just BAAAD. Having someone else in the “Suzy” role would’ve made that film a whole hell of a lot better, in my opinion. To be fair, I didn’t mind her too much in “Drowning Mona”. Everyone was great in that underrated gem. Sooo…yeah, overall, it’s her bad acting really. People must’ve realized sooner, rather than later that she just couldn’t cut it as a “Leading Lady”. shrug Anyways, that’s my take on it.

Agree with all of that, but Neve Campbell had (yes, had, as in “in the past”) neither talent nor charisma to advance her career.
