Kate Miscast?
I have been a super fan of this film for years. But, with each viewing, I can't seem to shrug the idea that Kate's performance here isn't stellar. While she has definitely gotten more gorgeous over the years, Kate in 2000 seems to have had, maybe, 70% of the charm, beauty, confidence, and charisma required to completely nail this role. Maybe its the really bad hair (why didn't they give her long/70's locks is beyond me…)--something is missing and Kate's Penny Lane disappoints. I think a 1999/2000 Cameron Diaz would have made an amazing Penny Lane, or Drew, Amy Smart, Kate Bosworth, Angelina J, or even Jennifer Aniston.
If you were to recast this role back then, who would be the best Penny Lane?
1. Cameron D
2. Drew B
3. Amy Smart
4, Kate Bosworth
5. Angelina Jolie
6. Jennifer Aniston
