Beyonce Ruined The Movie

I liked this movie, except I found that Beyonce's dreadful performance ruined it for me. She and Mike Meyers had no chemistry whatsoever. They barely even touched throughout the entire film. Her performance was flat and one dimensional and unnecessary. They should have hired an actual actress.

I thought Beyonce was pretty damn good. She was very natural. Maybe it's because subconsciously you're thinking that shes a music artist and you see her all the time so you can't get past that. I thought the film was awesome, Beyonce or not.

While I agree that Beyoncé was atrocious, even without her this movie would've needed a total rewrite because the script was utter garbage.

all i have to say about her is that she has this great natural flair for comedy.
just watch her expressions on the 'mole' scene.
its makes it even more funny!
shes crazy in real life anyway.

i found her Character FRESH..but you are right about the whole chemistry thing, it wasnt the same with the first two....

Beyonce did not need to be in the movie at all. She contributed nothing to the film. I cringed when I heard her snap her voice and say eye rolling dialogue like jive turkey and sugar. She isn't even attractive. Heather and Liz are both attractive. Movie would of for sure been better without her in it.

I gotta agree with the OP. At least Vanessa and Felicity knew how to kick @ss and had romance with Austin. Foxxy just seemed so unprofessional and out of place, and was seen as more of a "platonic" partner (possibly due to Daddy Knowles' interference?)

You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same.

Her performance made all of her scenes unbearable to watch. Why oh WHY was she in there?

I actually really liked Heather Graham in the second movie, and of course liked Elizabeth Hurley...and though I do like Goldmember, something about Beyonce was just...off. She wasn't a terrible actress, but her presence just felt forced. Heather Graham and Elizabeth Hurley just seemed to brighten up the other two movies, but Beyonce dragged Goldmember down, IMO.

BEYONCE TOTALLY RUINS IT... she can't act, she is the worst.

[–] swayburn 17 years ago

does anyone know what had happened with the felicity character. did it even explain what happened like it did in the 2nd one with liz hurleys character. noone really answered that question.

In the trivia it says she was in a deleted opening scene. I can't find more about it.

she probably brought the rating of this movie down about half a star
