Poor Script, Overbearing Acting by Shearer
17 April 2019
Poor script and overbearing acting by Shearer. You want to shake her and ask "Why can't you just be yourself?" Hopefully, the affected and effete presence she portrays in every film is not the real person.

There is no chemistry here between any of the actors and only the opening scene is funny, but it has no relevance to anything that is to come.

Thalberg should have shut this down as soon as he realized this was bad. Wouldn't reading the script do that?
