Cruz+ Cruise+ Diaz= Overrated talent

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2001)

This is just my never humble personal opinion but: Tom Cruise as an actor is completely overrated. So he was okay in Jerry Mc... big deal. How on Earth did this guy become so hugely talented all of a sudden? Would it be the fact that his "Sexiest Man of the Year" award had something to do with it? Is it his supposed "good looks"? To me the guy has some 3 facial expressions and a "broken nose look". I really cannot understand the hype. Same goes for the Spanish actress who obviously had to practice a lot to be understood in the movie as her English is terrible (how corny- those foreign characters always being sweet, sincere and all). Diaz isn't too hard to look at but her character in this movie wasn't as developed as it should have been. And let's face it: her acting range is still somewhat limited. So far for trashing the people who made millions acting in this movie... The movie itself screams pretentiousness. I suppose all the old messages of love and selfishness got too played out in mainstream movies so this time Crowe is offering us something more artsy and unconventional. Hollywood, Hollywood...
