This scathing post by Chez on the awful-sounding new film Bride Wars (11% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) led me to the following geeky exercise:
That graph is really too kind to Kate Hudson. If you couldn’t guess, the mere notion of Kate Hudson is a pet peeve of mine.
Hmm…actually, Rotten Tomatoes makes their own graphs, and this Kate Hudson Tomatometer graph shows a bit more dramatically how crappy Kate Hudson movies have been since 2001.
Her highest ranked film, I believe, is Almost Famous, which is one of my favorite movies ever. But really, they could have had any one of many actresses playing “Penny Lane” and the film would have been just as good. In fact, I really liked Zooey Deschanel and Faruiza Balk in that movie, but I suppose Penny had to be blonde. *sigh*
Yes, I meant to reference how she essentially debuted with a well-received performance, and it’;s been all downhill since.
