I have this thing abt Cameron Diaz. What is the big hoopla abt her? What is so damn special that I have to see her mug in so many movies? She is no Meryl Streep. I see nothing. I think she is overrated by far more than any actress today.

Goldie Hawn: I loved her in Private Benjamin, but that's it. I don't get it. I get so tired of the same ol' hair she has, her look never changes. Her acting ability is the same. She plays different characters but it's the same person it seems. I can't stand her.

Ooooo I agree with you about those 2. :p

I think Kirsten Dunst is overrated. :p

I think Kirsten Dunst is overrated. :p
For some reason, I get her mixed up with Scarlett Johansen. Another I would like to add to this list.

I know alot of people won't agree with me but I think Drew Barymore is overrated.

Reese Witherspoon. I'm sorry but she's not that great. The only reason she's up for an Oscar is because the movie is a Biopic about Johnny Cash.
Sarah Jessica Parker is another one that is overrated.

Tom Cruise has been in a handful of good movies, like Magnolia, Rain Man, Risky Business, Vanilla Sky... but I never understood the hype about why people think he's the best actor

Tom Hanks is a great guy, but I miss the fun Tom Hanks, instead of the stuffy serious "every movie is a bid at an Oscar" Tom Hanks we've had since Philadelphia and Forrest Gump came out. He's a great actor, but I miss the fun Tom of movies like Splash and Big.

I have to agree with you there. I miss the old Tom Hanks like in Bachelor Party too.

Well, no one really cares about his acting anymore, just his personal public, couch-jumping, I-devirginized-Katie Holmes life. :rolleyes: :lol:

alan alda dont get me wrong i love mash but outside of that and a couple of his movies i find him kind of annoying

Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. Very annoying. Their acting is just plain and nothing special abt it. Why do they think that putting them in a movie is going to guarantee a hit?

cmon man tom hanks is 1 of the greatest actors ever

scarlett johanneson is just getting started...shes a really great actress too

ben affleck sucks
mike epps is NOT funny...he sucks
penelope cruz isnt that good either

Actors: George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck.

Actresses or "actresses": Paris Hilton and the Olsen Twins

I know alot of people won't agree with me but I think Drew Barymore is overrated.
And I'm one of them who disagrees with you on this one! She's my favorite actress.

I think Nicole Kidman is overrated, Lauren Bacall is right when she said Kidman is not a legend yet.

As actors go, imo Nicholas Cage is overrated.

I know alot of people won't agree with me but I think Drew Barymore is overrated.
I agree, although I do like her. But, I don't think she's a very good actress.

I think Nicole Kidman is overrated, Lauren Bacall is right when she said Kidman is not a legend yet.

I mostly agree with that. She's good, yes...but she's not the greatest thing ever like some people believe. I don't really think she deserved the Oscar. She also chooses the oddest roles sometimes.

I also find Ben Stiller to be incredibly overrated, and I know there's a bunch of fans here, but I don't get the Will Ferrell hype at all.

I love Drew Barrymore, she's one of my favorites

I agree about Will Ferrell, my dad saw Bewitched and even he said that Will is nothing more than a poor mans Jim Carrey, which he really is.

Ben Stiller used to be good, until he started playing the same role in every movie and doing 10 movies a year. It seemed like every other week in 2004, there was a new Ben Stiller movie. I have no idea how he did that.

Tom Hanks is a great guy, but I miss the fun Tom Hanks, instead of the stuffy serious "every movie is a bid at an Oscar" Tom Hanks we've had since Philadelphia and Forrest Gump came out. He's a great actor, but I miss the fun Tom of movies like Splash and Big.[/QUOTE]


That is exactly how I feel about Nicholas Cage. His early movie roles were so funny (Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, Wild At Heart for example)
They were fun movies! But I do realize that an actor has to grow up. It's just that I prefer the young Nicholas.:D

I agree too. Well, you can be "grown up" and be able to balance the fun movies with the serious ones... Jim Carrey's done a great job being able to do serious drama as well as not abandoning his roots in comedy.

I think Jamie Fox is on the way to overrated. Yes, he was good in Ray, but my god, it's goin to his head. :rolleyes:

I think Jamie Fox is on the way to overrated. Yes, he was good in Ray, but my god, it's goin to his head. :rolleyes:

I agree, I used to like Jamie on In Living Color way back when, but I swear to god, since Ray, he has become an egomaniac of the sort that even Paris Hilton, J-Lo, Michael Jackson and Will Smith are likely thinking "he seriously needs to get over himself" :lol: Whatever happened to the funny Jamie? he takes himself so seriously and it's kinda odd because he was a b-level comedian for so many years and then suddenly he takes two movies around the same time that gets critical acclaim, and suddenly he's got the "I'm gonna erect a statue of myself and float it on the river" style Michael Jackson ego.

by the way Jamie, you're pressing 40... you should be old enough to remember Don Johnson, Eddie Murphy and Bruce Willis' attempts at singing.... people like Hilary, Lindsey, Paris and Nicole are younger, so they can be forgiven (well, not really, lol).

Ah yes, Ben, why the hell is he in everything???????????? God how I loathe him.

Scarlett Johansen (sp?)

Sorry, I just don't see what all the fuss is.

Reese Witherspoon. I'm sorry but she's not that great. The only reason she's up for an Oscar is because the movie is a Biopic about Johnny Cash.
Sarah Jessica Parker is another one that is overrated.


Have you seen the movie???

Her performance was amazing. It changed my feelings about her completely.

same here.

I hated her in everything else I saw her in. But she did an awesome June.

I would always see her as a teen doing teen movies...i was blown away by her actually playing the instrument that June Carter Cash was known for. She also did her own singing. That girl is awesome!!!!!

I have this thing abt Cameron Diaz. What is the big hoopla abt her? What is so damn special that I have to see her mug in so many movies? She is no Meryl Streep. I see nothing. I think she is overrated by far more than any actress today.

Leonardo Dicaprio is definitely an overrated actor. If you ask me, he got lucky breaks, and he's not that great of an actor anyway. If it wasn't for Titanic, he would be forgotten about by now. Anybody could have played that role he played. He was much better as a supporting actor in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"

I love me some Goldie Hawn, Irene.....well, I just like looking at her. LOL I loved her in Overboard especially when she was naked.

Well, looking at her, from your point of view is understandable, you are a man. But as far as an actress, she has nothing special to offer.

The same goes for her daughter Kate Hudson. All she is, is her mom, reincarnated all over again. It's really like watching young Goldie Hawn. *Irene yawns*

Kate looks so much like her mom it's scary

Colin Farrell. I can't stand this guy. Where the hell did he come from? Under a rock? My God, he looks so skanky and dirty. Why is he put on the forefront like he is some acting God?????

I totally disagree with those who chose Tom Hanks and Nicholas Cage, but to each his own.

The most overrated actor in Hollywood without a doubt, would have to be Keanu Reeves!! You could put him in a film with Pauly Shore, and Tom Green, and his acting ability still wouldn't stand out. Keanu Reeves SUCKS!!!

Colin Farrell. I can't stand this guy. Where the hell did he come from? Under a rock? My God, he looks so skanky and dirty. Why is he put on the forefront like he is some acting God?????

actually, Colin was sexy as hell about 3-4 years ago when he first came out... but he really blew it with all the drugging and boozing and lack-of-showering and it's really taken a toll on him.

Who knows tho... didn't Brad Pitt go through a drugging/boozing/no-showering phase where he was gross and yet he ended up okay at the end?

I totally disagree with those who chose Tom Hanks and Nicholas Cage, but to each his own.

well, with Hanks, it's not that he's a bad actor, but that he needs to drop being pretentious. He became a star in the first place by making "fun" movies like Splash, Big, Turner And Hooch, Sleepless In Seattle, Joe Vs. The Volcano, etc.. and then suddenly he took two roles straight that gave him Oscars and suddenly every movie he makes are serious and bids at Oscars instead of balancing out the award-worthy movies with the "this one is just a nice popcorn flick" movies. It was comedy that pretty much defined his entire first decade as a star, yet except You Got Mail and Ladykillers, he has done almost solely Oscar-bid drama roles for the past decade, I miss the fun Hanks and wish he'd come back sometimes.

I hated her in everything else I saw her in. But she did an awesome June.

She was very good in that. And I saw the movie not knowing much about them or their life.

And the Oscar goes to..............snl 70's show fan!!!!!!!!!!
*applause applause applause*

I have to agree with you there. I miss the old Tom Hanks like in Bachelor Party too.



That is one of my favorite movies of all time!

I cannot really think of an overrated actor or actress at the moment.

And the Oscar goes to..............snl 70's show fan!!!!!!!!!!
*applause applause applause*i would like to thank ireneparagegal and everybody here at so who voted for me thank you all for makinging it all possable

Lindsay Lohan by far

Jim Carrey
Gwyneth Paltrow
Brad Pitt
Katherine Hepburn
Charlie Chaplin
Chris Evans
Angelina Jolie
Julia Roberts

His name is Johnny Depp.

His name is Johnny Depp.

really? wow...why? for his serious roles or his comedic roles?

he's got the "I'm gonna erect a statue of myself and float it on the river" style Michael Jackson ego.




Hey leave Michael alone! :mad:

really? wow...why? for his serious roles or his comedic roles?for his comedic roles i actully like his serious roles but his comedy gets on my nerves after about 5 minutes

for his comedic roles i actully like his serious roles but his comedy gets on my nerves after about 5 minutes
cool. yeah, i guess it can get annoying. which is probably why i don't care to watch those Naked Gun movies.

Meg Ryan. Another one who I can't fathom why she is an actress. Same acting, different character. boring.

I didn't read the entire thread, so this might have been mentioned but-

Patrick Swayze...



Sorry Dirty Dancing fans, but he just isnt' that good in things.
Ghost- eh....okay portrayal- but not even that good.

Roadhouse?? Need I mention this..

A close second is Pamela Anderson, if she can even be counted as an actress

Pamela Anderson [Throw her to the lions, and pit bulls, too, please], Jennifer Aniston[Does she have to be on cover after cover of magazines? What next? U.S. News and World Report?], George Clooney, Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin, and the comedienne formerly, and always known as, Roseanne Barr [In fact, any actor/actress who drops their last name after he/she establishes him-or-herself, not counting Cher or Madonna].

Paris Hilton
Sarah Jessica Parker
Lindsay Lohan
Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie
Leonardo Decaprio
Tom Cruise
Nicole Kidman
Julia Roberts
Madonna
