Back in March, the first short trailer was released for Katie Holmes’ new movie, The Romantics. I’m calling Katie’s film, but really it’s a Big Chill-esque ensemble which includes Katie, Josh Duhamel, Anna Paquin, Elijah Wood, Malin Akerman and Adrien Adam Brody. Anyway, I complimented Katie by calling her “not totally robotic” in the trailer. Now a new, full-length trailer has been released, and she’s even LESS robotic! Hallelujah!
Once again, I might need to be shot in the face, because I actually think this looks like something I would love to rent. I wouldn’t see it in the theatre, but I would rent it and watch it by myself and feel guilty when I cried at the emotional scene. And yes, this film also looks like it’s borrowing heavily from A)The Big Chill, B)Rachel Getting Married, C) Margot At the Wedding and D)Budget versions of half of Rick Moody’s oeuvre. But there are totally worse things, right? I’m kind of proud of our little Kate-Bot. She’s growing up and stretching her non-Xenu wings!

Those are some bad wardrobe choices. I’m not seeing any Oscar nods in that person’s future.
Well done though, Katie. Josh Duhamel looks like Pacey enough that I’m rooting for her to end up curled on the floor with him while they chat with Sookie on the phone five years later.

Katie only did one stupid film in her career thus far and that was the movie with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. Katie has always been a solid performer. This movie does look really good and I am totally gonna rent it or catch it when comes on cable.

If she’ll just quit doing the one-sided smile-smirk.

I never watched Dawsons Creek (gasp!) so I wouldn’t know but, does any one recall if she did that talking out of the side of her mouth thing that she did the entire trailer? I thought it was really annoying when she just did the crooked smile thing, but man it was annoying to see her talk out the side of her mouth too!… k rant is over…;o)

Although the Big Chill & Margot at the Wedding were good movies do we really need any more of this type of thing, Its so devoid of color like couldn’t they have one enthic friend in there? I’ll probably get it on Netflix though.

Seriously, did she have a stroke or something? Did they nick a nerve when she had her last nose job or botox? Why is her face all twisted to one side?
I read once that when people’s finger/s are really crooked (not from arthritis or anything) that some people think it indicates a deviant trait and when it’s on a person’s face, it indicates the same, kind of ‘twisted’ or split tendencies battling each other and it manifests over time on their features….
um, ok, I’ll opt for the nicked nerve, but I will say that there’s something very strange about her personality. I think she’s talented tho.

How tall is she? I knew that Elijah Wood isn’t exactly a giant, but god, he seems a dwarf (or a hobbit) compare to her.
I agree with Love Angelina, she’s a solid performer whom unfortunately has her career obscured by the wedding with that psychodwarf.

I’ve only seen her “act” in Batman Begins and she was the worst aspect of an otherwise stellar film. Replacing her in the Dark Knight was a great move by Nolan.

Damn she looks about 50 yrs old in that photo with the hobbit.

Loved Margot at The Wedding but yeah, it’s been done to death at this point and Holmes isn’t Kidman by any stretch of the imagination.

The movies listed above have all copied The Big Chill, but are any of them actually better?
I haven’t seen them all, but out of the ones I have, Chill reigns supreme.
Let me know if there are any that top it, please.

Yeah I think if she’s gave an opportunity, a good role that fits her and such she will/can be great.

Adam Brody, not Adrien Brody

In the photo that shows on the home page, she looks like a stroke victim. I was relieved to see the other photos!

She has GOT to get that side talking thing taken care of. Surely she is not paralyzed on one side of her face, or we would see drooping, so there is no excuse for it. It’s distracting, and for that reason alone, I squirm whenever I watch her delivering dialogue. Didn’t they tie Aniston’s hands down when she started ‘The Good Girl’ because she had the bad acting habit of talking with her hands? What would be the cure for this?

She was mediocre and replaceable by any generic up and comer in Thank You for Smoking. That’s all I got. I think she may not have made the A-list without the Xenu-bot marriage. It’s a deal with the devil, but looks like it’s paying off.

there´s something like a curse in batman movies
the actress who plays the girl always does a horrible job (kim, maggie,katie… michelle does not count as the girl)
the trailer is kind of weird, cause Katie seems to have more screen time, like she had more star power or something
i dont believe so, regardless of her acting abilities
i dont know if shes a good actress, but she has this two annoying things, the weird half face thing
and the super sad dog eyes
three in fact, she´s always half catatonic, like she needs a good fuck

Jesus, she looks like Cillian Murphy with Bell’s palsy in that picture of her in the car.

I liked her in The Gift, and Go was awesome. I also heard the indie Pieces of April was very good. I think she needs to get out of Tom’s shadow. Her marriage doesn’t seem to be helping her career.

This trailer doesn’t exactly pull me in.

It looks like a pretty decent chick flick that I’ll watch when hubs is at work and I have nothing else to do.
