Still love her ...

She plays the same roles regardless of the type of film and has zero presence or sex appeal. Worse still, along with Anne Bancroft and Naomi Campbell I've never seen such a dull, unresponsive, humourless and uninteresting interviewee. Her worst showing was on the popular 'Parkinson' show here in the UK. (He's a UK version of Jay Leno or David Letterman). Her monosyllabic answers were cringe-inducing.

She was good in her "cutesy" rolls because she was cute. Now that she's put on some years I think she's done.

Never ever ever never liked this woman's acting.

An ok actress when she plays a more serious role, but comes off as way too cutesy in her comedy roles. Hard to stomach.

Her performance never varies and her recent plastic surgery makes her look like the Joker.

Meg is a good actress. I have liked in most of the roles I have seen her in. She has played many different kinds of roles. Usually she seems to be most known as the nice, likable gal type. I really liked her in Sleepless in Seattle.I have seen her in movies that I did not particulary like not because of her but because I did not like the plot or writing. There is a likability to her though. Not my favorite but an actress I am willing watch in a movie.

Never understood why people raved over her. So-so actress in mediocare movies.

Where did our adorable pixie form Youve Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally go to? In the movie Proof Of Life, it was almost painful to watch her overly dramatic attempts at playing the role of a distraught housewife. What was up with those jerky hand movements and please for the love of all that is holy, wear a bra while doing any more running scenes through open-air markets!

Melanie Griffith's doppelganger.

Meg Ryan is a terrible actress. She plays the same character in every movie. She was cute when she was young, but she's completely outgrown it. Problem is, she isn't choosing film roles that are helping get rid of the cute thing. In the Cut was just stupid; she was still the same ol' Meg Ryan, just more boring. And on a completely superficial level, her lips are getting out of control. I'm sure she's had collagen injections, and it looks awful! Anyway, the long and short of it is that she has had her day, and I don't understand why she's still hired or so popular in Hollywood. Move over and let some new, REAL talent in!

What a phoney. I just don't get what people see in her. Creepy.

Not that great but not horrible

For sure, she was cute in her day, and I guess she was suitable enough for the light comedies she became known for, but with the passage of time and beauty, she's trying to pass herself off as a dramatic actress and it just doesn't work.

Aging is undesirable for any actress but especially so for actresses like Meg Ryan who are heavily reliant on their looks. Meg should really retire from the biz now before things get too tragic but unfortunately I dont see her doing so.

She's too old to be labeled 'cute'. Not much of an actress.

Cute, funny, sexy, adorable... and a talented actress. Would be interesting and good to see her in other than the typical roles she's played in. But, nevertheless, have enjoyed the ones she has been in. Like Goldie and Sandra, she's a fun, smart, attractive girl. :)

Neither adorable or a sweetheart. But plays one in the movies.

She does not look great but she is a good actress

its always sad when a once hot actress starts losing her looks. Its even sadder when the plastic surgery she has to alleviate the aging process goes wrong. Meg is no longer America's sweetheart but a grumpy wrinkly old cougar

In every film I've seen her in she plays cute, slightly ditsy blondes e.g 'When Harry..' 'Sleepless..' . Bit of a one trick pony.Quite pretty but little sex appeal.

she is my #1 favorite

Cute girl and good actress.

Every year shes better than before, and somehow, gets more attractive.

Meg has a unique style that makes me just want to root for her in every movie that she is in. She's a really likable person, at least on screen. I thought that Meg gave wonderful performances in both "Sleepless in Seattle" and "When a Man Loves a Woman". Her forte' does indeed seem to be romantic comedies ("You've Got Mail" and "Addicted To Love"). She gave great performances in both of those films. Also great performances in "Top Gun", "City of Angels" and "City of Angels". The only negative thing about Meg Ryan is that a large portion of her own personality remains with her when she's acting on screen- that likable, good girl type attitude. I'd like to see if she could undertake a role which requires her to play the "bad girl".

she is an adulturer

She's likeable, but I don't think she's very funny or entertaining without a good director and script to back her up. She can't carry the show like Goldie Hawn can, for example.

Very cute and great actress!

An absolute doll who is also an excellent actress.

I've never been impressed by her. She has played the same character for the past ten years.

she should be on top! Many Oscars are still to come for sure!

Very cute, but she takes so many typical Hollywood parts that don't call for her to be more than cute. She's capable of better.

I've pretty much enjoyed everything I've seen her in. She's definitely one of the most beautiful ladies in Hollywood. It was a disgrace that the Oscars didn't even nominate her for "When A Man Loves A Woman."

I think Meg ryan is okay, but she could DEFINITELY be better. So far, it seems she just plays the same roll over and over an over... and she's getting too old to play the cute roll much longer. TO me I don't find her to be a flexible actress, and therefore I don't find her very good, but perhaps its simply becasue she hasnt been givien a challenging role yet...

hi everyone! i just want to say how much of spectacular actress Meg Ryan is. I love all her movies. My favorite is between When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail. i really dislike when they critize her on her dramatic performances. i think she does a great job on any kind of performance. i had to rate her a five because that was the highest but she is beyond 5. she's the best actress in world.((sorry im just a really big fan)) i know that we will all see her in other films to come. MEG RYAN IS THE GREATEST!!!

Probably my favorite modern day actress. I just wish she was in more movies that I liked.

TO HOT TO HANDLE LOVES HER MEN. NEEDS MORE THAN ONE MAN TO HANDLE HER

She's been good in the roles she has played, but they are ALL THE SAME. I think she has more talent that we ever get to see. She's "cute", so she gets the "boy meets girl and falls in love" roles (I loved her in "When Harry Met Sally - my fav. movie of all time), but I'd love to see her in more challenging roles, such as the one she played in "When A Man Loves A Woman". She's lovely!

she and julia roberts, those actresses pretty much made for romantic comedies. i've seen this woman in a few dramatic roles, like proof of life and courage under fire. considering proof of life was badly written and she didn't get much to say or do in courage under fire, she didn't do too bad of a job. but i've never felt particularly moved by her, either.

She's a great actress, althought some of the later works are a little so-so she's never not done the roles justice, plus she's so cute ;)

Meg Ryan is NOT the "Girl Next Door"...Nupe. Cause if she was...I'd never be here at home. (Ever) Meg has something very very special about her. A touch on the petite side at times which brings out the protective instincts in men. All in all, Meg is pretty kewl and very pretty. Soft, sweet,... and a girl who brings out that "I Just Gotta Hug Her" in me.

I used to really enjoy Meg but ever since her breakup with Dennis I don't see her the same way that I used to.

When I saw her in the movie for the first time, I could't even breathe. She was so cute. I really loved this actress. But there was something boring. She has never changed. Of course, she has tried to change her images, performance abilities. But she failed. She managed to perform certain roles in 'Courage under Fire', etc...Now she is 40. She needs some thrilling impulse.

Even though Meg Ryan is an extremly annoying person, she has risen to the top in Hollywood. She was extremly good in Joe Versus The Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail. She and Tom Hanks have great chemistry.

I love her style in everything- from acting to fashion, to her cute hair style!

Shes extremely hot, And she can act too

Meg is a natural. So fresh and a joy to watch in her career.

Understands that acting is what she is being paid for.

She's my Fav!!!!

I can't stand Meg Ryan. She's a horrible actress.

I have always enjoyed her movies. I find her to be a great actress. I think that it is sad she got so much negative publicity over her relationship w/Russell Crowe. Too bad it didn't work out for them.

Anyone who takes crowe should be hurt. Besides I just think she's watered down and terrible

I Think Meg is just cute and a good actor.

handsome man

It must suck to be Meg! Her last film bombs,she goes out of her way to let the entire planet know she was boinking Russell,she says she's worried about her kid,and just for for fun,emasculates Dennis! Who honestly is thinking about her acting skills these days? Or,oops,Talent?

I would give her a 6 if I could. All you Meg haters crying about her ditzy Sleepless and Got Mail roles need to see some of her other work. She shows great depth when challenged by her roles. I am 28, and still would pick Meg over all those scrawny, bitchy twentysomething actresses. She is the one actress who can give me that funny happy feeling with her smile.

Why oh Why must this sorry talentless person continue to make movies?

It is horrible that she would cheat on Dennis Quaid. It doesn't matter if they were having a bad relationship--wait for the divorce! She did it so outrageously too. color me disgusted.

She's not that pretty! Maybe only to all you old farts! Some of her movies are good and some are a nothing to rave about. All in all, she's a good actress, otherwise she wouldn't have been as successful as she is.

I think she is a great actress. She is so cute! Why would she want to get breast implants for that dumb soggy looking airhead Crowe?

i think that Meg Ryan is like the best actress. she is like so cute and she always plays her part so well. i lover her hair! im getting my hair cut like her in feb. :) i think she did a really good job in the movie "city of angels", omg! the ending to that movie was good but way to sad! she played that part sooo good. i dont think anyone could have done a better job then her.

most people like her! i think that she is very plain, in the positive sense, and with that she makes all her movies interesting!

She is so HOT!

Meg Ryan has become too cute for me. I enjoyed her in some of her earlier movies (especially "When Harry Met Sally..." and "The Doors"), but then her predictable acting style wore thin. I gagged when I saw her in "Sleepless in Seattle," and her performance in "You've Got Mail" was similarly annoying. I think Ryan has talent, but she doesn't ever seem to push herself in order to show it. I wish she'd take on a more challenging role for a change so that audiences could see her in a different light. I suspect that she has what it takes to be a more well-rounded actress.

Meg personifies the "girl next door" feeling perfectly. Some actresses are good at what they do however I wouldn't cross the street to meet them. I'd love to get to know Meg as a person

has that look in the eyes that says "look at me". delivers a smooth performance.she maybe underrated by the press and critics but then again both of those groups only rate by how the studios pay them to rate so you can't believe them

omgosh she is such a GREAT actress i love every movie she's in like you've got mail is soo way good i love meg ryan!!

Meg Ryan has now reached the point where she has perfected a caricature of "Meg Ryan," messy blonde hair, ditsy, rolling eyes, scarecrow floppiness, stomp-stomp, "I'm so dumb and cute and confused, but everyone loves me, so point me in the right direction." Ryan could be an excellent actress if she dropped this; yet, I think she is smart enough to know what sells. Her early roles showed real promise, but somewhere along the line, she shifted into cruise control. But, hey, it pays, and she is saved from putting thought, technique, and soul into her acting. Maybe some of Crowe's committment to fine acting will rub off on her.

Meg Ryan is the best of the best!!! she is good at everything she does. She's beautiful, intelligent, talented, and magical. And for all of you who have dissed her with your little 2 cent remarks have shown you know nothing about real talent when you see it. Besides being a GREAT actress- she is sooo adorable and if anyone disagrees with that statment then you obviously have no taste. ...Meg's #1 Fan
