It reeks of desperation and it's gross!

I liked it in moderation- I like IQ & You've Got Mail, French Kiss is okay- but it just gets to a point of sheer annoyance.

Seeing her full-frontal in "In the Cut" was gross. I don't think I've recovered yet.

I haven't seen that...why is it gross? And I agree that it's hard to see Meg, uh, not embracing what should, perhaps, be a change in the tone of her roles...but I think her physicality limits her in that, unfortunately. Cause even as she gets older and maybe not so cute, she still basically has "cute face"...anyway, i hope she can do it more gracefully...

The whole movie was just a smut-fest and made you want to take a shower after watching it. The nudity came off as more of an act of desperation to save her career than anything else and it backfired completely. Though the nudity can't be totally blamed (Mark Ruffalo ran around bare ass throughout the whole thing, too, and his career is on fire as of late), a lot of it had to do with her bad acting in it and the overall badness of the whole shebang. It was just bad. Read the book, don't see the movie. The movie is just porn with actual graphic closeups of oral sex.

The only reason to see it would be for Kevin Bacon, and he's only in it for ten minutes. Or, I guess, if you want to see Mark Ruffalo's ruffalo.

Does the book have pics? I'm a great admirer of art.

Sounds like that insulting Street Angel review about Stevie still trying to be the doe-eyed ingenue she no longer is. (Not my words.)
