or "How To Win An Oscar Thru Weight Gain"

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2004)

Beautiful Charlize Theron gained weight for this part, thereby assuring her Oscar win -- the Academy loves when actors gain weight for a part! Hey, I'm the first to admit that Charlize looked shockingly like Eileen (and that ain't good...) but that's where her talent ended. I didn't see a performance - I saw a young actress begging for a nomination. However, the story is interesting (if you didn't follow it on the news) and Christina Ricci is brilliant. Ricci's subtle, rich performance has been totally overlooked by Charlize's fake teeth and padding.
