Well, you're a lot kinder to Pretty Woman than you were with Young Fronkonsteen Brook. C is the equivelant of erm 3 out of 5? So you do have a soft spot for Julia Roberts eh?

I thought Roberts was pretty back in her Pretty Woman days but she quickly became 'unpretty' IMO, saw her recently in the dire Ocean's Twelve and that permanent rictus grin was actually quite scary.

More like a 2 out of 5. To me a 3 out of 5 would be a movie I liked and closer to my "B" rating.

I've liked Julia Roberts in several films - Erin Brockovich, Notting Hill, and Flatliners and to a lesser extent in Closer, Full Frontal, Ready to Wear, and Mary Reilly.

But the "I don't even have a joke here" was a reference to George's top ranking of The Princess Diaries.
