Underwood and "Attempting"

Posted by:	enoch10 05:13 pm EST 12/06/13

All these well, she wasn't very good but let's applaud her for trying posts remind me of the well, it's not very good but it's got a lot of heart posts. Who cares? She was out of her depth and it showed. It was an ok production of an American masterpiece. Everything works in SOM, including the book. It deserves a better lead and the list of actresses who could do it is a mile long. I'm sure Underwood's name brought in some viewers but had they promoted it as hard with another name it could have done just as well. Of course the accountants who make these determinations are cowards and lazy and are relying, I might add, on support for "attempting". God forbid the gazillions people who saw it last night and get little if any theater should be given a great performance. I'll save my applause for someone who tries and succeeds, thank you. Ask for a little and that's exactly what you'll get. And what you'll deserve.
