    She is a great actress. This is one of the most impressively cast films in years. I'm gonna be honest, I am now starting to get excited by this. Great cast, fantastic director. Let's just hope the script doesn't let it down.

    This film will be pants, the casting is terrible. And to prove I'm write its being produced by Lauren Schuler Donner.
