Insanely underrated? Really?..reallllly???
Name one great role. Summer Catch? .Chuck and Larry?
She's not ugly, she's a decent at best actress. But, no way she's a great beauty or this great actress.
I saw her in Blade:Trinity and Next. She was alright, but it could have been about any other actress and she wouldn't have been missed.
I just don't get her appeal except for the nice butt. -

I was thinking the same thing. Why so much hate? It's not like she is THAT big to begin with. Personally, I like her as an actress. However, it's not like I would watch a movie just because she is in it, but I usually find her good enough. SHe has the rather dubious talent of picking bad movies but the first time I really saw real potential in her acting was in 'Easy Virtue'. Not a great film, but she really did an amazing job in it.

I thought she was good in Total Recall, better than Kate Beckinsale, and I like Ms. Beckinsale. I thought she popped on the screen, and here beauty was very apparent. The movie was so, so, which led to here only average performance.
I agree, she is not as strong as some of the bigger stars, but she is very attractive and a better than average performer. -

Really? You want to make your point by giving examples such as Summer Catch and Chuck and Larry? LOL. This is exactly what happens. People watch Valentine's Day and such and think that can tell if an actor is good or bad. Well, you can't. While I think she did her job in those, I don't think that kind of movie is appropriate to measure an actor's ability. Who is going to give a riveting performance in a romantic comedy? Should watch The Tall Man, Powder Blue, The Illusionist, The Truth About Emanuel -

I don'2000t hate her, I don't know her. But don't like her because of all the anti marriage stuff she has touted in interviews over the years- but soon as she finally gets a proposal she accepts. That's just doing a disservice to women who really do not want to get married- it is like she was just trying to be cool and more desirable to men for wanting to be unattached. And she is just a mediocre actress. Not bad but certainly not one who will have longevity in her acting career.

Ew, she's engaged to Justin Timberlake. He's such a douche, not cute, and a terrible actor. He's funny on SNL, but that's about it. 'Friends With Benefits' was unwatchable. She's way too hot and too cool for him. She should have stuck with the anti-marriage stance or at least waited until something better came along. She seriously underplays her value when it comes to guys.

I'm soo happy that I'm not the only one who thins she's too good for him.
He sucks at everything he does and then brags how cool he is(wtf?), I saw Black Snake Moan and every time his whiney face comes on screen I just wanna stop the movie all together, his role REALLY wasn't needed or they could've gotten somone less bitchy sounding. But when Jessica's on screen all my attention's on her not just because she IS beautiful but she also has something else about her that you can't get enough of and that's her sexy attitude.
But that's just my opinion
I'd have to say my favorite movie with her is Stealth then Texas Chainsaw Masacar. -

It could have been MUCH worse
Remember Julia Roberts (PRETTY WOMAN movie) married Lyle Lovette(sp?). She's beautiful, he's talented, but no one could accuse him of being handsome
Another strange marriage was Sandra Bullock and Jessie James; and Jessie cheated on Sandra! A lot!
Regarding marriage,
when one, or both of the two getting married have significant resources/wealth, all sorts of laws come into play, and can entangle the resources. Think "merger" rather than love.
A pretty sad example is the recent divorce of cyclist Lance Armstrong and musician Sheryl Crowe. Mr. Armstrong had to know the sky was about to fall on him, and would also affect Sheryl Crowe's money/resources and even future earnings, so they divorced. If not, and if there were no prenuptual contract, all of her resources may well have been open to lawsuits that would only have targeted him, IF they were not married. (Texas is a community property state.)
Some of the lawsuits are apparently even targeting money/bonuses paid to him around a decade ago, and that could easily have been long ago spent as part of his sport expenses.
