My second fave guy is getting seriously dissed! There's a dinner theatre production of Point Break where ...
What is unique about the stage take is that the role of Utah (played by Reeves in the film) is played by an audience member (selected at random each night) who is thrust upon the stage (guided by a PA - who also serves as stunt double) and given his/her lines on cue-cards. "Keanu Reeves roles demand a special kind of acting," explains director Hook, on the show's conceit. "Essentially, in every scene, you have to look like you've just been dropped into a room and you have no idea what's going on."

Lynne -
Do you recall a Keanu film w/ Peter Falk where Keanu's character falls in love w/ an older woman - I think played by Barbara Hershey? I'm trying to recall the name - I swear I owned it a some point on VHS but have no idea whatever became of it.

--- Quote from: MaineWriter on January 21, 2007, 06:59:40 pm ---I saw Dreamgirls yesterday. As many have said, Jennifer Hudson, in her first big role, was excellent. I also thought Eddie Murphy was very good. Beyonce Knowles did a good job and Jamie Foxx must have been good because I just hated his character...by the end of the movie, it was "hiss, boo!" every time he showed up on the screen.
The movie did seem long, though, and as my mother said, by the end I was tired of the "shouting songs."
While Jennifer Hudson was very good, I don't think she'll win Best Supporting Actress...it's her first time out of the gate and I just don't think the Academy is that generous.
Thoughts from others who have seen Dreamgirls?

Having seen the original on B-Way, the movie was well made. All the actors did a fine job with both singing and acting, however, it was basically a musical rip-off of the original artists. It's a tough genre of music not to plagiarize, but they needed to do more than throw a few measures of music at some new performer in order to make it fresh and original.
