Julia Roberts works her magic for an unlikable female protagonist
15 January 2023
P. J. Hogan was educating people in the 90s about what a walking red flag looks like all while supporting the LGBT community. Making an unlikeable protagonist is risky, especially with the female one, because we know how society will always jump out on women at every opportunity. Yet casting the ever-lovely Julia Roberts is perfect because not only she embodied the hopeless manipulative Julianne Potter, but people find it hard to piss on the real Julia Roberts. The plot may be full of 90s cinema logic, but watching a big-haired food critic dance with her gay fiance is not bad. George Downes is such a spirit animal.
