I liked Stepmom, but I didn't like her in it

To be honest, I haven't really truly liked a Julia Robert's film. None of them are even close to my top 25 films. The top one would have been Steel Magnolias, and I liked it in spite of Julia being in it.

In fact some of those movies were down right bad.

It isn't a "Julia Robert's" flick, I don't think, but I finally got around to seeing Hook the other day and thought she was cutely appropriate as Tink. I could have done without the culotte thingies she was wearing, but other than that I liked her in it. Was sad for her regarding her unreturned love for Peter.

lots of people here aren't huge julia fans. i, on the other hand, like a lot of her movies. my faves are closer, ocean's 11, and notting hill. granted, in all of those movies, she wasn't my favorite. loved clive owen most in closer. ocean's 11... too many greats to name ahead of her, and hugh grant was the best in notting hill. but i did love all those movies.

The only Julia Roberts film I've ever enjoyed was Pretty Woman, which I thought she was pretty good in. Unfortunately, though, her ego outgrew her talent and now I try to avoid seeing any film she's in. I will occasionally watch one she's in, but when that happens, it's always in spite of her being in it, not because she's in it. For instance, I watched Steel Magnolias because of the rest of the cast. Julia Roberts plays Julia Roberts in her movies, and that's the extent of it. (no offense to those who do like her)

But on the whole, I'd love it if Julia Roberts just slipped silently (impossible for her) into nothingness and I never heard her name mentioned as an 'actress' again.

Of the films that sort of feature her as the "main character" I liked Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias and Nottinghill. All the others could have been played by numerous other actresses and I would have been just as happy with the films, maybe even more acutally.

I really like Julia Roberts in Mona Lisa Smile. It wasn't an overly great movie.. but she had a great character in it.

Her acting has always grated on me, and I really don't go for the type of films she inhabits.
