AV Club - Movie stars often have a terrible handicap: They’re too beautiful. While it might make sense for Natalie Portman to play a stripper or a queen, it can be difficult to buy her as an average person. And it’s downright impossible to buy her as a sad sack in mom jeans and giant old-Jewish-man glasses whose greatest ambition in life is to finally work 20 hours a week at a small-town grocery store instead of the 15 she’s currently working.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
Is it really so unbelievable to see Portman as a normal person? Take away her fame and money and she'd just be another chick.
There's just some people you can't make ugly no matter what you do. There should be a law against being so beautiful.
Charlize Theron's role in Monster was probably one of the most successful "uglifying" transformations.
Jude Law in Road To Perdition also deserves a mention.
It was such a good movie and he does deserve that. It just doesn't get a lot better than that.
