Granted, it was a Friday afternoon but the parking lot was pretty full so I presume there were larger audiences for the other screens in the cineplex.<br /><br />Even back during "Roswell," Heigl was far more intriguing in the two episodes in which she played her main character's sociopathic doppelganger than she was in the rest of the series. So, yes, I think she did miss some opportunities as scoundrel. The roles she has gotten by and large haven't been very interesting -- they weren't written to be very interesting.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656921634940224775.post-81223988322605607662017-04-28T01:25:42.356-04:002017-04-28T01:25:42.356-04:00Yeah this movie got "trashed" by critics...Yeah this movie got "trashed" by critics... get it, trashed! Ok I'll stop now. But if the movie knows its trashy and does it well, I don't see any issue with enjoying it. I'm curious who the target audience for this is, because I'm not sure those people are rushing out to the theaters to watch this. <br /><br />Heigl isn't a bad actress, but she has yet to really grab my attention. Like you said, maybe she needs to indulge in her dark side on screen. I don't think I've ever seen her play the bad girl.Roman J.

I enjoy watching it ever so often. I recently saw Walter on some late night fare, I forget what. It may have been an episode of Mannix (or Ironside), which I had never watched when they originally aired. I like Mannix however, sometimes cheesy, sometimes cliched, sometimes trash, yeah, but entertainingly so. El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
