Not a very good actress...


I've only seen her on "Still Standing" but her acting ability leaves a lot to be desired. She comes off as very stiff and seems to be overacting. Maybe comedy isn't her thing and she does better in dramas.

Yeah, I have to really disagree with you too. I think she acts better in comedies than dramas. Like that one where she was a teacher/cop person trying to change the kids for the better... I couldn't take her seriously. I was just waiting for her to burst out laughing.

In my opinion, she should stick to comedy.

Premonition - 4/10
Juno - 8/10
Cloverfield - 9/10
Stand By Me - 10/10

I like her in both comedy and drama. I think she rocks. Have you seen "Silence Like Glass" when she co starred with Martha Plimpton. I thought she did a good job in that movie. JG in the house...just kidding.

I think you're in the minority - she rocks in comedy. I literally laugh until it hurts when I watch that show. She's terrific in both comedy and drama. Hope to see her in some new projects now that 'Still Standing' has been cancelled - but she'll always be Judy to me.

I've seen her in a few things, I actually had to read her bio, I was looking her up because of Still Standing, saw some of her other credits and remembered her. I have to say, I think she's really great and I'm thinking about collecting the episodes from the show because of it. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I very much disagree with it.

She's a GREAT actress! And beautiful as well!
