Why are some actors/actresses stiff, barely able to speak above a whisper, and can't match the emotional level or range of their cast mates?

I Strenuously Object! 😄
I thought she lent just the right amount of irritation this situation needed.

I liked her in this. The only scene that makes me cringe is near the beginning, after Kaffey's softball practices, where she chews him out with that "path of least resistance" rant. Nobody talks like that. It sounded like movie script speak....and, she rolls through it too quickly, getting it all out before taking a breath. It was clunky dialogue to begin with...and definitely needed better delivery.

She’s not a great actress but I think her performance in this was solid. She’s also easy on the eyes and ears.

I thought she was good.

Demi Moore didn't ruin this movie. Her squeaky delivery and harping tone were perfect for a green, relatively talented litigant with excellent insight but poor execution. The sweeping orchestral flourish at the end, with the huge 'The End' title in Written-style script, ruined this movie. Rob Reiner took a tight, small, smartly-written courthouse stage drama about the differences between civilian and military culture in the United States, and tried to turn it into a big-screen epic about the military itself. Rob Reiner ruined this movie.
