Title: Saint Angelina Is Boring in Melodrama
Product review: Angelina's acting is terrible in this film. The role is poorly written to begin with (victimized, saintly mom) but her acting is flat and dead, as if all her real-life kids have drained her energy away. She is dull, listless and her face looks like a wax mannequin's (even before the kid disappeared!) Now that she's famous as a mother, adopting kids from everywhere, Hollywood can't resist trading on her image as Super Mom. Please! Bring back the old Angelina, the wild rebel, the bad girl. Did motherhood ruin her? The story held my interest only because of the real facts of the case are painful to hear. John Malkovich is also totally wasted in this film. Two formerly edgy and risk-taking actors are reduced her to mouthing cliches and indulging in self-righteous poses. What a waste of talent.
