Heather Graham: Great bod, no talent for dramatics


OK, I am female and can still appreciate Heather Graham's assets. But I really do think she is the worst dramatic actress ever. There were so many corny acting slip-ups in this movie that really made me dislike her acting abilities. For example, when she is visiting someone that she doesn't want to know her true identity (ie. Michelle the yell rape girl and Adelle's mom) she wears her super sneaky eye glasses, just like Clark Kent. Then when she goes to visit Adelle's mother and finds out Adam is coming over she takes this completely obvious, Benny hill-like gulp of tea and gets this stupid "Oh crap" look on her face. I have seen "Boogie Nights" and "The Guru" many times and I think she is phenominal in comedic roles, but I really must ask what the casting director was thinking when they put her in this one. Especially next to Joseph "Shakespeare won how many Oscars in Love" Fiennes. It was a mistake. Much like the mistake made by the casting director of "Saw" because Cary Elwes disappointed me in the same way. My two cents.

she belongs in porno flicks.

I've never really watched one, but that wide-eyed ingenue face makes me want to slap her silly. I'm not sure I can sit through the rest of this stupid-ass movie.

Darlin', don't ever take a Southern woman for granted!

it's a B movie of the erotic thriller genre, the actress in these movies isn't hired for her acting abilities





so many movies, so little time
