  It is so trendy to knock Julia Roberts these days. Sure she made some bad flick choices recently, but who hasn't. This film could have been a little softer in it's description of life in the 50's, but a lot of people I know have very little understanding of this era so a more simple depiction may be appropriate. The film should be recognized for a return to ensemble formats which Hollywood has lost contact with as compared to European movies. Also the refering to this as a chick flick is very narrowminded. At least half the audience when I saw this were males , that I presume have a comfortable position with there sexuality. By the way I think Julia is a very beautiful women.

  "Mona Lisa Smile?" I can't believe the miscasting of "watermelon smile Julia" as a pedant. Jeez.

    ... almost grotesquely out of proportion with the rest of her face. I'm sure she's a nice person and a good actress. But honestly, I don't understand why most people consider her so damn attractive.

• Another Hollywood treatise on the "conformist", "conservative" 50's... - Dalton 17:19:05 12/21/03 (0)

  ... repleat, I'm sure, with all the standard Hollywood allusions to McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklist, how the American military-industrial complex promoted a Cold War with the innocent peace-loving Soviets, the obligatory gibes at white middle-class suburban blandness, "exposure" (yes, folks - the story has never been told before) of the oppression of women and minorities, etc.? Yawn. I think I'll pass.

  Not that I remember it, I was five.

  Never figured out where all of Kirsten Dunst's bitchiness came from. It seemed deeper than just a bitch momma--maybe not. They reconciled a little too quickly at the end, I thought.

  It's still a prime chick flick good for wives and sweethearts. Get them to go with a girlfriend, though.
