Winona's worst performance


I think she has never looked more beautiful but jeez - she overacts and her laugh is SO fake. Did anyone like her in this? I don't know if it was bad direction (Stiller's first time at bat) or if she was just out of her element or what.

I also mentioned to my wife that her fake laugh was terrible.

Winona's perfect as Lelaina, in fact I'd rate it as one of her best performances.

I wouldn't say it was her worst performance, but I will agree that she did tend to overact some parts. Overall, I liked her as Lelaina though.

You either laugh or cry your way through life. I prefer to laugh.

Not really. Her character was a flake, Ryder is a flake, seems like a perfect match. Of course, the vast majority (if not all) of her characters are flakes but that's a subject for different board.

Some people relate to her characters, though. Shoplifters, emos, etc.Dief/TeefKeep away, Ruby.

I agree, there was so much overacting.

Really? I think it's one of her best. It's very natural to how people act at that age. Over-dramatic, yes, but so are 20somethings.
