Ophelia or Penelope?


Which would you prefer?

I have always thought that once they made their millions Louis should have gone back for Penelope. Yeah, I know she was snobby and brushed Winthorpe off earlier, but she was a stunner and would have been a waste for that Todd ass hole to keep her!

Anyone else agree with that or do you think he was right in staying with Ophelia?

The way I see it, sometimes fate chooses for you. The minute Penelope mockingly calls him "Louie," you know he's Ophelia's guy forever. ;)

Penelope had class and breeding, plus she was hotter than Jamie Lee Curtis. Whereas Ophelia was a prostitute during the early 1980s. What if she had AIDS?

reply

Penelope had breeding, but no class. She was more embarrassed at having to sit with the common people than worried about her fiance in jail.

Ophelia doesn't do drugs and has no pimp. They weren't going for realism. ;)

True. Definitions of class differ but you're arguably right that true class has nothing to do with social class/background, and everything to do with manners and decency, something I suppose Penelope lacked.

Still, I'd be uneasy about a relationship with a prostitute, and the fact that she doesn't do drugs and hasn't got a pimp doesn't necessarily mean she'd be clean of venereal diseases.

reply

Fair enough, let's say for argument's sake that you're right. I don't think Louis would think he's in any position to judge after he tried holding up an entire office building. ;)

Does nobody realize that Penelope was a slut as well? Remember the a capella song about her and her friends at the private club? Yes, they were singing about her and her friends being slutty fotzen. This scene is intentional to show the audience what type of person Penelope really is. As for this so-called class you say she has, I don't think asking for sexy time in front of the butler would qualify as class. And, Penelope quickly hooked up with a new guy right after dropping Winthorpe.

reply

The snobby, self centered, and spoiled bitch or the prostitute? Gee, it's kinda hard to pick since they were both in it for the money he he. Well, Ophelia obviously has a good personality and that's all that matters in the end, right? If Whinthorpe can live with the fact that she banged many, many men for a living... then I'd say he made the right choice (considering she doesn't become like Penelope or screws around).

As far as looks goes, Penelope undoubtedly had a very stunning face, but Ophelia's body was to die for (holy smokes that "swedish" outfit!). Pick: uh, both.

Ophelia.....because Penelope will NOT give you a BJ. You can bet a dollar on that one.

Ah, but there's one key element Penelope reveals about herself early on in the movie:

"I would have grovelled and begged for mercy."

If Penelope's wealth was tied in with her great uncles, the Dukes, then she may have lost it all as well. In that case, she might come crawling back to Winthorpe out of desperation.

Winthorpe could still marry Ophelia while keeping Penelope as the housemaid. Ophelia is a liberated woman and might go along with it.

Not a good BJ. Frozen concentrated BJ, maybe.

reply

Ophelia definitely. Man, Jamie Lee Curtis was hot back then and she still is now!

reply

the only real difference between ophelia and penelope is that the former comes by her identity honestly. She therefore has the edge. Penelope likely has an incredibly slutty side to her shes clearly utilized to jump from one ivy-leaguer to another...Louis clearly goes for Penelope for that reason...but he's smart to recognize ophelia's heart of gold.

Please nest your IMDB page, and respond to the correct person -

i would have liked to see penelope end up with Eddie Murphy. It would have been an extra source of annoyance for the wicked brothers.

Good call!

You know what's interesting, the New York Public Library has an early copy of the script, and Ophelia was original supposed to be African American! And she and Louis didn't end up together at the end, they were just friends. Interesting...

reply

Ophelia is hot, but she is a stuck up snob. Louis changed as a person; she didn't. I don't think even he would consider going back to her after what she did. She and the others turned on Louis when he needed them most. My only disappointment is she never appeared in the film again. I would have loved to see her witness Louis' success. Chances are a lot of his former so called friends were probably laid off when Duke & Duke went under.
