Piper Perabo...


is the least charismatic and appealing of most all the actresses in this movie, yet she is the lead. Normally, this would be one of those "turn your brain off and enjoy" movies. But she bugs me so bad, she ruins it for me. Anyone else feel the same way?

Yes watching it now.... She did a horrible job can't sing or get down with bar moves...

She didn't have a chance to sing. Leann Rimes dubbed all her singing parts.

Her "strip tease" stage fright thing was the absolute least sexy thing about this movie. Blah!

The movie isn't about a small town girl turned prostitute, it's about a small town girl slowly gaining confidence and pride in herself to move up in life.

You forgot the "In my opinion" part...

I highly disagree, because in fact she was the complete opposite. She was far more charismatic than the others and far more affable.

Could not agree with the OP more. Amazing how her career took off, though.

. . . oh, wait a minute . . .

reply

Nope. I think she's perfect in this film. I agree this is a "turn your brain ..." type of film but the fact people are still watching and enjoying it 19 year later means they did something right.

reply

I think you are missing the point. She is supposed to be nervous, shy, lacking confidence and a bit of a contradiction as she has more guts than she thinks she does.

The other characters are more one dimensional stereotypes, boss with a heart of gold, the blonde tease, the bitch etc.

THIS. She did her job well.

I think it is a male thing... men just want to watch porn and are upset that the 2 year old in their pants doesn't get excited by the movie.

OMG That body does not stop looking smoking hot though.
