Maybe I've Seen Way Too Much of Natalie Portman Recently...

Rating: 4/10 (20 September 2011)

I could barely get into the movie, let alone sit through it because I had a hard time buying Natalie Portman as the character she was playing. She's such an annoying over-achiever (and people rag on Kate Winslet for doing too much). Ashton Kutcher on his own was his usual self, not trying to out-act anyone or gun for an Oscar or anything. That coupled with the fact that this film seemed very similar to another terrible film I saw recently 'The Ugly Truth' starring Katherine Heigl and Gerald Butler. It's like we've run out of ideas and we're just coasting on the past ideas of others hoping something hits and works for the next set of coasters to come along and rehash our own copied ideas. The scary part is that this film was a hit people, so you can expect more like it coming to a theater near you sooner than you think. That said, I think Katherine Heigl should have played this role instead of Natalie Portman.
