Lauren Ambrose (as Denise) was hot!


I'm not sure if I am the only one who found her a hot girl more than Jennifer Love Hewitt.

There's something wrong with Esther.

reply

Yes!! She was very hot in this movie!

reply

I think Ambrose exudes more sexiness than Love Hewitt, but I think Love Hewitt is more conventionally attractive.

reply

I think she was gorgeous in this .

reply

Yeah, she was, but I'm pretty sure she was a lesbian. I think she secretly wanted Amanda.

reply

I got Jenna Elfman over both.

reply


Strangely, to me Elfman looked 40 in this, and a rough 40 to boot. It wasn't until I saw her in later work that I thought she was attractive and much younger. Maybe they made her up to look this way.



reply

Perhaps. I loved her in EdTV and Keeping the Faith.

reply

The time I felt Jenna Elfman the most attractive was when she was wearing her proper wedding dress (swinging on a tree-swing?) on "Dharma & Greg" haha.

Fun show before the last season of "Dharma-Drama-Greg".

reply

Denise was practically the Betty to Amanda's Veronica.

Why didn't the filmmakers have it so that Denise ended up with Preston at the end instead of Preston actually landing Amanda? Preston clearly had better chemistry with Denise. I recall that Gene Siskel in his review complained about the filmmakers not having Preston ultimately realize that he was truly in love with Denise the whole time.

Actually, either would have worked. They would have had to portray Amanda as a little more unattainable though, or perhaps a bit more flighty so she would seem incompatible with Preston.

In Pretty In Pink for instance, I thought Andie ending up with Duckie would have been a better ending than her ending up with Blaine.

reply

Yes, she looked good! Not better than Jennifer but hot in her own way.

reply


Ambrose has a very expressive face which adds so much to her attractiveness.

reply

That is a great observation and I agree.
