What a waste

Rating: 4/10 (28 July 2003)

What a waste of Miss Roberts excellent acting talents, the story is great but I found that all Julia had to do was show cleavage and swear, and for this she received an Oscar. Maybe more actresses should swear and show cleavage and they will receive Oscars. I love Julia as an actress is one of the very best but in this movie I think she really bombs. Lets look at the inconsistencies 1) Is her character a smoker or not,(not that I am a fan of smoking in movies) she smokes once at the beginning of the movie then never again.(Why) 2) Also the Character claims the reason she wears sexy clothing is because she finds it most comfortable but when she gets home after work she changes into sweats. Is this to maker herself less comfortable. 3) Anybody that would talk to and swear at her boss the way she did would usually be fired on the spot.
