The movie was rather pathetic but Elisha was good in it but I wouldn't watch the film again. Not sure the hate that she's getting from Stryker on this thread is entirely sane but nothing with him is.
I saw it on the big screen back in the day, and found it, to say the least disappointing. I also found the attractive Cuthbert cold in it (but perhaps that was the character) and was not surprised that, despite the hype and ad spend, it flopped at the box office and received mostly miserable reviews.
Please don't mistake my somewhat tongue-in cheek fat shaming comments as "hate" Lux. Also, while I confess I find you a not unlikable, yet strangely dispassionate poster (not that this is necessarily a bad thing), I have never doubted your sanity, LOL, please refrain from questioning mine.
Because of what a fan of Sam Elliott and - to a slightly lesser extent - Debra Winger, I am, I am currently watching all 8 seasons (it's 80 30-minutes episodes, so it's been a long journey through a series which is fun and funny but not binge material - especially after the dude who played Rooster got MeToo-ed out of series and it had to get re-written mid-series as he was written out and the unappealing Dax Shepard was written in) of the hit Netflix sitcom
THE RANCH and have now seen 58 episodes (22 to go and I will be free).
Cuthbert is the 5th lead (opposite Ashton Kutcher, Shephard, Winger and, before he was booted, Danny Masterton) and while she is an actress of limited range she is rather appealing and sexy as Cole's (Kutcher) childhood sweetheart, Abby.
At some point in the third season Cuthbert fell pregnant in real life, and the pregnancy was built into her character's story arc on the show. Now, the late mother of my beautiful daughter was a woman, like Demi Moore, who carried the baby low and still looked sexy at 9 months. She never blimped out - except, thanks to the wondrous miracle of life, her relatively flat breasts became gloriously large because of the milk; it was fun while it lasted.
Cuthbert, however, is one of those women, like Bryce Dallas Howard, who carries high, and my golly did she balloon; her bum and her thighs (the word tree trunks comes to mind) in particular, when she fell pregnant. She got fatter and fatter as the show went on, seemingly adding pounds and pounds to her already large body every week.
Even when she had the baby (in real life, which was a little earlier than her character in the show) Ms Cuthbert held onto her new weight. And she is still fat at episode 58 - maybe she loses weight at some point in the last 22 episodes, and if this is the case, I'll, LOL, let you guys know.
I have no problem with Ms Cuthbert putting on a whole lot of weight and still like her and her character in the show, but what I don't like is that the never addresses this issue, and it's now like Cole and Abby don't have a sex life - because, despite the weight gain, she is still desirable to me. There is nothing wrong with talking about the issue of being overweight. It might have started a productive conversation about health.
Sorry for being so long winded Lux, but hopefully the above wall-of-words post didn't bore you and explains that explains I was coming from a good place and convinces you that I am not only free of hate, but, LOL, as sane as I am sexy.
