He's adorable. She's annoying.


I'm a big fan of Cillian's, and I've never seen him give a bad performance. His character was so sweet and adorable, it's the only reason I kept watching this movie. On the other hand, I found Lucy Lui's character to be more and more annoying as time went on. Nothing against Lucy, but I think the part of Violet was miscast. Maybe another actress would have made this movie better.

Seeing Lucy reminded me of her Charlie's Angels co-stars. How about Cameron Diaz?

reply

Yeah, I could definitely picture Cameron Diaz having played that part. Also, there was a time a few years back when Christina Applegate coulda' played that role. But Lucy Liu was quite good in this... NOT annoying. I loved how she did that basketball scene. Very touching, seeings how I myself am about as adept at basketball as she is. lol

maybe it's because i'm gay, but i thought she was adorable and he was annoying (and a bit of a pussy too).

I totally agree. although i don't think any other actress would have made Violet any less annoying

reply

Nah. I enjoyed her. I think they were both very adorable.

reply

agreed! He was A-dorable and so was she. don't get me wrong, the movie stinks! but i'll still watch it on loop because i think there are enough cute moments between them… besides, i love how CM voice gets all lilty when the "detectives" come into his store asking for Violets whereabout.

I feel the opposite.

She's adorable, he's irritating.

reply

Naw, she's adorable, he's just him.
