No, that one has Kristen Bell coquettishly biting her fingernail while a photoshopped Josh Duhamel hangs over her shoulder and looks at... what? The guy across the street walking his dog? The 7 train? The woman with a plastic bag over her head to keep her hair dry in the rain? Seriously, it's like they're not even in the same movie together, that's how incongruous the two stars of the film look on that poster. It looks retarded and it, as much as anything else, has made me want to run the opposite direction of the theater.

I think it's unfair to lump her in w/ Biel just b/c she is also better known for her looks than her acting prowess. I'm not saying she's talented, just that she might not be as conceited as Biel is.

First, you are a VERY talented writer. I want to read all of your stuff! Second, thank you for bringing this "hopeless career girl" thing to light. It is such a lame premise. Also, yes don't cast the whole world and Jessicas- get fricken REAL. Wow!

I've tried all of your life to get you to come out of your shy-zone. How will anyone ever take you serious as a journalist if you don't stop holding back and start saying what you really feel? Just kidding..... I kind of fell sorry for some of these actresses that drew your vent but understand what you're saying. As a guy who dated a lot in my day, I can honestly say that the Kristin Bell types of this world never lack for attention or dates. It actually goes the other way so this premise is really lame and overused. Use a relatively plain but loveable actress for that part if you want it to be believable but they never get the Josh Duhamels of the world either. Oh well at least you may have convinced Joelle to rent Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I still laugh my ass off everytime I see that movie. It's worth the money. Courtney my beloved Courtney.

When I was in my early- to mid-twenties, I would sometimes read chick lit (at its height of popularity at the time) or watch rom-coms, with the poor single heroine and her microwaved dinners and shitty apartment and think, "am I supposed to feel this way? Because I DON'T." I'd also like to see the same "single just because she's single" principle applied to more YA books and teen movies (yes, I read and watch a lot of both). I did have a serious boyfriend in high school, but my life was about so much more than my relationship. Word on all of this.

I put that one on the list of "potentially not terrible movies I should probably get around to seeing someday" but I'd forgotten about it. Oh, yeah.

I know the woman's got to work and all, but this is the best (or best paying) thing that was available to her? That makes me so sad.
