What roll did Maria Bello play and how much screen time did she receive?

[–] DeputyDippity 11 years ago

Maria Bello plays Polly Bailey, a spokeswoman for the alcohol industry, a friend of the main character, Nick Naylor (a spokesman for tobacco). She, Nick, and firearm lobbyist Bobby Jay Bliss, meet every week and jokingly call themselves the "Merchants of Death" or "The MOD Squad".

I haven't seen the movie, I can't say for sure how much screen time she gets, but I'm guessing "not very much" would be a good estimate.

I`m sorry for my lack of manners, but I`m not used to escorting men.

She has a lot of screen time.

How many minutes?

We could both say "not very much" and "a lot," but both of those are relative to the individual, so how many minutes?

I'd say about half the running time.

That sounds about half empty to me.
