God I watched the whole movie amazed at what a complete wreck Westfeldt's face is. Its just a plastic surgery nightmare. The frozen botoxed upper lip is so distracting I couldn't even hear what she was saying. And the scene where she tries to drink out of a champagne flute is outrageous. Absolutely horrific.
you guys are mean! i think her face looks good (she's 42? i thought she was younger), and i really liked the movie, one of the better ones i've seen in a while, very real and honest - and i think jennifer's really funny and smart, and she reminds me of lisa kudrow - they could be sisters, both funny and smart and seem cool and nice :)
I was just logging in to start a thread about her ghastly plastic face, though I am not surprised there already is one.
My wife and I started to watch this movie last night, but were forced to turn it off about 20 minutes in simply because her plastic face was SO distractingly hideous that it made my wife uncomfortable and squeamish!
My wife said it looks like cellophane wrap that has been stretched tight over a bowl. SHE CAN'T EVEN ENUNCIATE HER WORDS WHEN SHE SPEAKS!!!
Is she really Don Draper's wife? Wow, poor him. Bet he's regretting that right about now...
I've not really seen her in anything else but was impressed with her writing, acting, and directing.
Not having seen a 'before' pic of her, I would say that she certainly has an interesting face, and certainly looks very much like Lisa Kudrow. Maybe she did have surgery, but there was nothing 'ugly' about her.
I'd not noticed anybody complaining about Adam Scott's face -- I mean, his cheeks/jaw area a little 'odd' -- so what? These folks have the guts to put their talents and their skin out there for all to see and criticize.
Of course, now I'll check out photos of her to see if I can notice a difference.
I seem to be the only here who actually HAS seen her in other films. In fact, she's in one of my favorites, Kissing Jessica Stein, which she wrote and starred in. That was only about 10 years ago, and she was lovely. I too kept wondering what was odd about her face throughout the movie. Sad.
I watched it last night & enjoyed the movie. But Jennifer's face was a distraction. I usually don't like to criticize looks but. Bad cosmetic surgery. She need Tom Cruises surgeon to fix that mess. She did it to herself. Jon Hamm & Kristin Wiig look cute together though.
Thank you guys! I watched the movie but I couldn't really concentrate on what was happening because I was so distracted by her super weird face. But I couldn't figure out what was wrong. So disturbing! Funny that there is a thread about it. Botox makes you look colossally ugly. Lesson learned.
Agreed, Megan Fox looked like she had a lot more surgery. She does not even come close to that Transformers girl of not too long ago.
As for Jennifer, I thought she looked like Lisa Kudrow with Jennifer Aniston's hair. I didn't notice the facial issues mentioned here because I was more distracted with Chris O'Dowd trying to suppress his Irish accent. Why would they do that?
