I think Amy Adams is amazing, from Junebug to her small turn as Jim's first girlfriend on The Office, but I have some serious questions about her choices of late. Hopefully her return to indies in the next year or so should help.

Fantastic interview, Dave -- and you too, Ms. Adams!

I LOVE HER!!!!!

Amy Adams is absolutely great, and I loved Junebug. I'm also wondering if she doesn't come equipped with some indescribable Viagra-esque power that emnates from the silver screen and turns professional movie critics into smitten hormonal schoolboys.

In every mention of Junebug, I remember good ol' Roger practically levitating with gushing praise for her; In their review of Enchanted the other day, I actually worried Roeper and Phillips might break into a spontaneous circle-jerk. It reminded me of that old SNL skit mocking the hyperbole employed in critic-blurb Sopranos ads.

I mean, she's lovely and talented, but every mainstream critic's review is so smitten, so feverish, it's almost uncomfortable: AMYADAMS AMYADAMS OMG I LOVE AMY ADAMS SHE'S SO EFFERVESCENT AMYAMYAMYAMYAMY MARRY ME!! LOL!

I rarely see this level of boner-waving when the tweed-wearing crix of the world review the new Alba, the new Brewster, the new Biel, even the new Portman. They're all just as beautiful and stunning, but I've never seen Roeper and Co-Host HOPPING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR AISLE SEATS, MOUTHS FOAMING to find new ways of describing their beauty and talent.

Is it just me, or is DP's shirt unbuttoned one notch lower, and the hair toussled a little more Rhett Butler-esque? And where the hell is this? When the camera's on her, it seems like she's sitting in the Cloud City lounge, and then you look like you're slumming in some cheap apartment.

You charmer, you. I think she was just about to swoon...

"They're all just as beautiful and stunning,"

Yeah, but they all kind of suck. Critics tend to lose it over actresses that are hot AND can act the paint off the walls.

Lex G, I noticed that too - boy are you right on the money about that. But the funny thing is I once saw Amy Adams in a Baja Fresh and she was so unbelievably normal looking like not extraordinary at all. But she's become so much a male fantasy in Enchanted - changing and existing, really, only to please her man. And she's so non-threatening, so innocent - she's Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Agreed, Amy Adams is to 2007 as Rachel McAdams was to 2005.

The difference, Sasha, is that Amy Adams didn't have to play a prostitute to earn her first Oscar nom, and won't have to play a scantily-clad do-gooder to get her first win.

And jeff, I'm not sure if you're making a joke about DP's crushes, or just saying she's the next "it" girl in general, but I think AA's got a bit more talent than her predecessor.

How selfish of David to not let his chest hair ask a question.

She and Isla Fisher need to be cast as sisters in something. Because, seriously!

Laz, so what? What is ultimately the difference between Julia "playing a prostitute" and Amy Adams playing a princess? Not all that much. These are happily ever after stories featuring girls who are dumb but charming. I think they're "cute" moviess. Our comments were not about the movies or even the actresses but how the male critics were fawning over Adams....thassall.
