Did anyone else think Anna Scott was a bi-atch?

just the way she came off when she said things like directly after they had dinner ouside the first thing she says is how did 'she' get in a wheelchair? i meannn beep rude.
That wasn't rude. If she had asked it inside in front of all of them, then that might have been. But waiting until after the dinner to ask Hugh Grant alone is not rude. She was just curious as to what happened to her. -

Yeahshe was a cold, two-faced beeyatch. I didn't want them to end up together; I wish the film makers had gone the original direction in which Honey was actually William's girlfriend, not his sister. In that version (according to IMDB), William chose Honey over Anna.

I actually think this everytime I watch it, first time I think like this is when he is offering her drinks in his house, even if it's a bit weird of him and she just doesn't want a drink, she doesn't have to answer with just "no" how about "No thank you"?

I thought the same thing while watching it. Her character was a raving bitch, and it really just seemed like all she did was toy with his heart. I tried to like her, but couldn't get over all the shady things she did to him earlier in the movie.

Her profession is an actress, and a famous one at that. Just by going on stereotypes that are associated with being an actress/actor I would say being a "bi-atch" would be the umbrella term that would define it.

I thought the portrayal was quite genuine. For someone that famous, she was guarded and skeptical, but still intrigued by William. I'm sure it would be a struggle under those circumstances.
What I do find unbelievable is that she would be that drawn to him in the first place when he essentially gives her nothing to go on. She dropped every possible hint that she was into him and he was clueless. I would have scooped her right up after the "I'm just a girl" line. -

Palletizer,
I agree with your assessment of Anna Scott. I think Julia portrayed her character accurately. She is a famous person who is used to mobs of people harassing her and paparazzi attacking her.
I also think she was intrigued by William because he was not "one of the mob" (and he was cute). -

I have to disagree with the OP. It's true Anna Scott came off a bit reserved and cold, but you have to remember the module for the film: She is the most famous actress in the WORLD. She's used to media, cameras, dumb questions, annoying autograph hounds (the thief), misconceptions. She is smitten with Will the first time she see's him, but he's smalltown bookstore owner vs. Oscar winner megastar. Plus it's London. They rave for gossip there just like America.
In a way, Will's character is also a unique study. He's gentle but he's also prudish and a bit conservative. The two are sweet together but it's a great script because it escalates the romantic tension. -

I was going to agree with JaysonT I thought the OP is taking her character at just face value instead of thinking perhaps she was protecting herself, shy and wary of all the attention of fans as she should be as you see later when the paparazzi show up in front of Will's flat. But then later she screams at Will, very uncalled for and bitchy so maybe to a degree OP was right but JaysonT is right as well.

Of course she's got a whole lot of "bi-atch" in her. Dude. That's part of the point. She's a rich world-famous actress who had compromised all of her values and and sacrificed her personal happiness for fame and fortune, and what did all that get her? Fame and fortune, yes, but no happiness. So she meets William Thacker and it awakens her to what she is missing.
Get the facts first - you can distort them later! -

totally agree! I was watching the movie just now and came to see if anyone else thought that too. It seemed to me like she was bored and depressed so she used Hugh Grantshe didn't even tell him she had a boyfriend and she just goes out with him etc. It seemed like she was flattered by the smitten expression he had and his over the top nice gentleman attitude. And then she sleeps with him (which she was begging for) and then blows him off accusing him of trying to sell to the press. What a bitch! If this movie was about a famous guy doing this to a regular girl it would seem like he was taking advantage of her but its somehow ok that a woman does that? O.o

- When she's in his flat, saying "no" to every question he asks, the look she's giving him is so bitchy.
- She invites him to her suite while she's doing magazine interviews and doesn't even tell him. So basically, he can come see her, but he only gets the 5 minutes everyone else does.
3.She was going on dates with this guy all while having a boyfriend. He finds out about the boyfriend on accident. She offers no explanation for this and just lets Will go home sad and lonely. - I think we all agree that her reaction to the paparazzi incident was way over the top.
All this was before they stopped seeing each other. She was extremely inconsiderate. Then she comes back and this guy actually wants to be with her. I couldn't believe it. It's one of the main problems with films like this. Women get it in their heads that they can treat men like crap and then come around when they're ready, and the men will drop everything to be with them.

Agreed, Julia Roberts was terrible in this film. Pretty much ruined it for me. A movie star playing a movie star, and failing miserably. The director was at fault for that too I suppose. The rest of the cast was good, though.
