Bleh...

Rating: 3/10 (13 February 2005)

This movie is another overrated film with an overrated actress.
I can't really say anything about this movie other that the fact that it was just disturbing and over-dramatic. The sole purpose of this film was to shock and nothing else. Put in some gore, some nudity, some yelling and crying, and all of a sudden you've got a master piece? I don't think so. This film has nothing new to say, and nothing new to show. The only reason for all the hype is the fact that you've got an "A" lister actress on it. Charleze's physical transformation is amazing and all, but it doesn't change the fact that her acting was all over the place. The facial expressions, the movements- were all exaggerated. I can't count the times I've rolled my eyes while watching her. The Oscars needed a little Glamor and Drama on their show, so who's better to fit that requirement? Another gorgeous looking drama queen in the form of Charleze Therone. I can't think of another reason for her win.
If you're impressed with cheesiness-- watch this movie, if not- stay clear.
