Ever feel like you have spent far too much of your life wandering
around and trying to please everyone else?
I would say that after my last Keira Knightly adventure with Mark
Ruffalo and now this movie, I am just about ready to have her as my
friend. It was so hard to like her after all that fawning over her
looks in other movies. She is really a charming actress and made my day
with this performance. Apparently she replaced Anne Hathaway at the
last minute. It is hard to imagine Ms. Hathaway in the role because
Keira Knightly owns it so completely. I usually find the performances
of Brits who play Americans strangely flat, but Ms. Knightly is one
good exception to the rule. She falls into her role and seems to use
her outsider status as an asset which works within the premise of the
movie.
Sam Rockwell is incredible. What is it about that man? He has a very
sexy brain. If he were one tiny bit better looking his seductive
capacity would be less mesmerizing, so thank heaven for small favors.
