She is absolutely PERFECT in this film. Her singing is outstanding. I love her voice. Her acting is so natural. She's DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (my husband thinks so too snd hes's totally in love with her).. I really enjoyed the Bridges and their roles. The music is fantastic. It's also a very funny film.

Michelle Preiffer lives in Palo Alto ... I hope to run into her at the Stanford Mall or nearby. I would like to thank her for outstanding talent.

I wouldn't describe her singing in this movie as "outstanding". Good, in tune but not naturally gifted enough. In my opinion her voice lacked of something...mmm, something which I can't spell out (maybe due to the fact that English isn't my mother tongue, lol).

A perfect fit for the role, yes.

she always looked like she starved herself before each movie and always wears clothes too big

Don’t listen to these haters. Pfeiffer did an incredible job. She was sultry and sexy and way better then the dull relationship between the two brothers. The movie was boring because it should have focused more on the three of them vs the Bridges brothers fights.

Pfeiffer also doesn’t have to have a Mariah Carey singing voice to be good on stage. It’s her charismatic and sexual delivery that nails it, and the audiences were swooned.

She was robbed of the academy award. Jessica Tandy had a much easier role.
