Penelope Cruz in Vanilla Sky
 
In my opinion, the most annoying/terrible character (maybe her performance affects this) in movie history.

Discuss.

I thought she was okay. I actually bought her interaction with Cruise in Vanilla Sky more so than her and the male lead in the Spanish original.

KenobiKid22 09-16-03 05:02 PM

Really? What was so bad about her in Vanilla Sky? I agree I didn't buy her character in Open Your Eyes. But I loved her in Vanilla Sky.

J Roq 09-16-03 05:10 PM

I found her incredibly irritating and that "the pleasure of sophia" line was both terribly written and delivered.

PalmerJoss 09-16-03 05:26 PM

I liked Vanilla Sky, and I thought Penelope was fine in it. She had great chemistry with Tom, and you can't go wrong with Jason Lee.

Corvin 09-16-03 05:30 PM

...unless the movie is called Dreamcatchers.

But really, I thought Penelope did a fine job.

Actually, this was the only movie of hers where I could tolerate her presence. She usually makes me cringe whenever I see her.

I liked her 2 minutes of close-up non-stop itty-bitty titty scene. :)

Trigger 09-17-03 05:32 AM

I like her - I don't see what's wrong with her. I also preferred her in Open Your Eyes more than in Vanilla Sky - but I think that's cuz I found Tom to be annoying as hell.

"most annoying/terrible character in movie history." Exaggerate much?

I didn't particularly like <b>Vanilla Sky</b>, in large part because it was too long and obvious and continued to beat home its point long after it was clear, but I had no problems with any of the performances, especially not Cruz's. I'm not overly fond of her as an actress -- could take it or leave it -- but I thought she did a pretty good job with the role and had good chemistry with the characters.

Supposedly Cameron Crowe wants to release an extended cut of Vanilla Sky to dvd that is 60-90 minutes longer.

-eek- Really? (I love the movie).

KenobiKid22 09-17-03 04:25 PM

I love VS also, but what was cut? Like I said I love this movie, but it was a tad on the long side. But I would love to see an uncut version.

Geofferson 09-17-03 05:13 PM

I watched Vanilla Sky recently and thought Cruz' performance was decent. Nothing extraordinary, but not bad either.

SteveyP93 09-17-03 06:19 PM

I guess I'm the only one to fall in love with her after seeing the movie.

Now that I would love to see. His Almost Famous:Bootleg Cut was one of the rare instances(LOTR being another)where the extended edition is better than the theatrical cut.

Ted The Bug 09-18-03 08:41 AM

Sorry, guys, I read the re-release thread wrong. One of the featurettes is being expanded to 60-90 minutes, not the movie.

From the re-release thread:


From CameronCroweOnline: "…The other featurette "Hitting It Hard" is a 9 1/2 minute look at Cameron's world wide press tour (with Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz). The big news here is that they are also working on a longer version of this (60 - 90 minutes) which should hopefully see a release in a year or so. There was a very short window for the gang to cull everything they wanted for the DVD and it just couldn't happen. With a May 21st release, they really only had a few months to get it ready, so we can look forward to a separate DVD release of additional things (such as the longer "Hitting It Hard", deleted scenes, etc.) ala The Matrix Revisited or possibly in a Super Duper 2 Disc Special Edition (like the Untitled DVD)."

i HATED that line!!!! (wish there was a smilie for pulling hair out)

can't stand her either, i don't understand half her lines her accent is so thick

mookiemeister 09-18-03 03:56 PM

I saw both Open Your Eyes and Vanilla Sky, and think she did a good job in both movies. She played different role in the two movies. So it's not as easy to compare them.

conscience 09-18-03 05:59 PM

I mean her voice is like that, so you gotta live with it or not watch any of her movies.

theneobez 09-18-03 06:01 PM

I like her in the movie.
