Not really beautiful, but boy, can she act!

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2005)

Nichols' casting is 3/4 correct in "Closer". Law, Owen, and Portman seemed hand-picked. Julia Roberts seems placed in the cast so the whole production won't lost money. She nails the part, but she is much more believable as a box office draw than someone Jude Law's character would be attracted to.
Really just a minor quibble. I loved the movie.
The following text is to be ignored. I tersely crafted exactly what I meant to say, nothing more. Nevertheless, I can't post here unless I add meaningless filler. What a crock! That is an injudicious minimum, supposing that my post will be less than literate if it's less than 10 lines. I'm offended and this paragraph is my protest.
