I think it important everyone realise this film is utter pony, otherwise society as a whole will never get anywhere.

Cruise isn't a great actor - but he does have a knack for choosing good films, so he gets away with it. Affleck, on the other hand, is a crap actor who also makes crap films. So 2-1 to the Cruisemeister.

No, but it IS the reason why Cruise commands more respect - and rightly so.

being described as an actor who appears in better movies than ben affleck is hardly a major result >>>>>>>

My favorite quote from an Affleck review is from CNN, reviewing "Bounce":

"He's a good-looking, completely affable guy who certainly isn't doing anyone any harm, but it's getting increasingly difficult to pretend that he's a capable performer. Affleck's knees should hit the floor every night, thanking the Lord for Keanu Reeves, who serves as his buffer against the very bottom of the superstar barrel."

really? you didn't enjoy him in, pour example, Dogma? He's a funny guy. Under utilized in most cases, but funny! Actually, maybe, in this movie, he was OVER utilized. Whatever, I thought it was pretty funny. Not great, like the original poster said, but funny!

well, I wouldn't call his character minor. But that's not the point. I was just stating that I enjoyed him in the movie. I thought he was funny, and I know there are a lot of people who agree with me. I don't know if we are trying to say two different things, or if you just don't understand what I'm saying.

so nice to hear positive stuff about ben,
he still has so many fans, there are hundreds just on our sites alone as part of the yahoo ben fan sites, so nice he is with jen garner, i loved surviving christmas, i just hope the ben bashing stops, he doesnt deserve it and the fans are getting fed up of it, in fact everyone is getting fed up of it, the media and the critics want to watch themselves, ben wont be down for long

I so totally agree with you.
This movie is TERRIBLE!

[–] johnc-4 20 years ago

I liked this movie, it was very funny. Of course, to me, Gandolfini steals every scene he's in, he has such presence.

[–] pathxe 20 years ago

This movie was terrible, really, really bad and I love Gandolfini, but come on this was just bad. As for Reeves vs. Affleck, Keanu all the way. Maybe he is one dimensional but people like it at least and his box-office is allot higher. Maybe Affleck needs to get Reeves' agent.
How he will ever be put in another movie is beyond me. Matt Damon is the talent in the Damon-Affleck duo.

have we all forgot ben's great performance in teh movie "Changing Lanes"? he was perfect for his role. and i think that his next movie will do good.
