Total Lines of Dialogue: 68
Total Word Count: 318
Best Line of Dialogue: “Mahalo, motherfu-“
Acting Review: “What you might not foresee is that Rihanna, playing a weapons expert, doesn’t embarrass herself as an actress; she neither hits the heights of Mariah Carey in Precious, nor the depths of Carey in Glitter.”

Kim:

Total Lines of Dialogue: 53
Total Word Count: 599
Best Line of Dialogue: ”That’s not makeup. That’s makedown.”
Acting Review: “…thoroughly repugnant, like Judith’s shallow, clothes-obsessed co-worker (Kim Kardashian, whose monotonous line readings demonstrate that she saved her real acting talents for her sex tape).”

There is an authority to this character that I feel I have because I’ve been doing this a long time. There’s also an insecurity underneath that authority, and that’s something I’m very comfortable with. I don’t feel that secure, you know.

Don’t Forget: He Acts, Too | New York Times

“Mr. Pitt is a superstar who also happens to be something of a wild card.”

Am I crazy for making this movie? I’m not saying I didn’t think this was risky material, but I’m very grateful for the opportunity.
