I can't believe so many people are rating her lowly because they don't like her looks. I personally think she's lovely but that doesn't impact my opinion of her acting, which is A-1. She can do comedy (The Mexican, My Best Friend's Wedding) as well as drama (Steel Magnolias, Erin Brockovich) and is fabulous in suspense (Sleeping with the Enemy, Mary Reilly, The Pelican Brief). I really can't recall her in anything that I didn't at least like.
