1. Roger Kumble -- Cameron Diaz
   Roger Kumble who helmed the two ‘Cruel Intentions’ films does a deplorable attempt at showcasing some feel-good romantic comedy with a dash of toilet humour. His lurid and vague directing offer the titrated script no reason to continue past the first 20 minute mark in which the greatest laughter is served. In short, there are many problems with this film. Seemingly enough, after viewing the film, it is clear that Diaz may not hold a film on her own. She needs the support of a solid supporting cast and instead in this film is reduced to Christina Applegate and Selma Blair.
2. In Good Company -- Ultimate Homes
   "In Good Company" is not so much plot-centric as full of themes and observations on its work place subject matter. This gives the film a lightweight, unhurried feel, lacking in a driving force but enjoyable all the same because of the main performances. By comparison, some of the supporting players, such as Marg Helgenberger (TV's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation") and Zena Grey (2004's "Stateside") as Dan's pregnant wife and 16-year-old daughter, Jana, and an otherwise very effective Selma Blair (2004's "A Dirty Shame") as Carter's soon-to-be-ex-wife, are negligibly handled. "In Good Company" loses its way on several occasions as it goes off on unneeded tangents, but where it ultimately leads and how Carter, in particular, finds himself there, makes the film a satisfying, hard-to-dislike choice for older viewers who prefer dialogue and realism over CGI effects and random explosions.
3. A Dirty Shame
   A Dirty Shame is a 2004 satire by John Waters starring Tracey Ullman, Selma Blair, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak, Mink Stole, Patricia Hearst. The film, rated NC-17, was a return to style of the sexually raunchy films of his early pre-Hollywood years, such as Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble. It was filmed on-location in Baltimore on Harford Road, which is prominently featured in the movie.
4. Jason Bateman -- Roles
   Born Jan. 14, 1969, in Rye, N.Y., Jason Bateman got his first acting job at age 10 when he accompanied a friend to an audition and got the part instead. Since then, he's been an almost constant presence on the small screen and is finally beginning to make a splash on the big screen as well, with strong supporting roles in comedies such as Starsky & Hutch (2004).
5. Paul Walker -- Years
   A telling photograph exists of Paul Walker from April 2000, when he appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood Issue. It’s worth another look six years later for two reasons: first, because Walker wasn’t sure he wanted to be in it. No matter that the other anointed ones included Penelope Cruz, Mena Suvari, Selma Blair, and Chris Klein. Walker had a surfing trip to Costa Rica planned with buddies the same weekend as the shoot. His manager had to book him a special flight up from San Jose to make sure he got there.
6. Edward Burns -- New York
   Edward Burns acts and directs LOOKING FOR KITTY, which follows two men as they hunt for a missing woman through the streets of New York City. ...more about Looking for Kitty
7. Cameron Diaz -- World

8. The Sweetest Thing
   Mixing a girl road/buddy movie with a dose of slapstick humor and the search for the perfect man, The Sweetest Thing is not your typical romantic comedy. This wild combination, which sprang from the fertile comic mind of Nancy M. Pimental, began as the "Screenplay Without a Title Yet," which was making the rounds in Hollywood until it caught the eye of producer Cathy Konrad.
9. Donal Logue -- Steve Mcqueen
   From All Movie Guide: Combining low-key, average-Joe charisma with a bottomless capacity for shrewd comic timing, Donal Logue earned a reputation in the late '90s as one of the decade's most compelling -- and prolific -- character actors. First winning notice and a dedicated cult following for his portrayal of Jimmy McBride, a cab driver featured in a series of MTV promos, Logue went on to work in a string of films good, bad, and ugly before finally landing his first major starring role in Jenniphr Goodman's 2000 Sundance favorite The Tao of Steve.
10. Christina Applegate -- Sweet Charity
    Applegate quit school at age 17 to pursue acting. with Children. From 1998 to 2000, she starred in her own sitcom, Jesse, on NBC. While playing the title role in a revival of Sweet Charity, she injured her foot, and it was announced that the musical would close during previews. She persuaded the producers to rescind their decision, and on May 4, 2005, she made her Broadway debut to moderately good reviews. Sweet Charity ended its Broadway run on December 31, 2005.
