Nicole Kidman seems like an ice queen in every role she does and I’ve now decided in real life. Does she have personality?

I'm confused by her these days!  I feel like she's a one note actress now and I'm not drawn to any of her shows.  There was one... on Prime, maybe, where she and her husband were in Singapore, I think.  I couldn't watch it.  

And her wigs!!!!  They are so distracting. 

The Others
Big Little Lies
The Perfect Couple
The Northman
The Golden Compass

NICOLE. Are you in there? Do you ever loosen up?

She needed that stupid dance scene more than anyone.

Liev looks like a fun time.

[wanderingback]

I also didn’t know this was a book and didn’t know that was Dakota Fanning in it lol.

you forgot Stepford Wives!

**though I see she plays the voice of a character in Happy Feet; maybe she has to be off screen? lol.

My husband and I cannot look at her without saying "Let me out of the car, Cole!" all frantic haha.

[mofongo]

I find Liev SO hot!

[brooke77]

I liked it! I read the book, but completely forgot the plot. It was fun and Liev was fun to look at. I had no idea that it was Dakota Fanning! I thought the acting was fine, but I guess I wasn’t expecting it to be a serious drama.

[bittybomb]

So bad.

I didn’t know the actress who played Emilia but I was picking up on a hint of a brogue (2nd gen iris American here) she kept letting slip out so I looked her up. I was like heh.

I stuck with it because I read the book.

[carriebear822]

I watched the first episode because they filmed the dance sequence in my town. I couldn't get into the show and we dropped it.

Add me to the list of those who read the book but didn’t remember the plot. 😂

Don't forget Nine Perfect Strangers. She does a lot of book adaptations.

I also spent a good portion of the show going OMG that's BONO's daughter.

Which character was his daughter?

Amelia, the bride.

Her role is kind of meh in this show, but I love her in Bad Sisters.

I read the book, couldn't remember the plot or who did it, looked it up last week, and forgot it all again this week. I listen to her books as audiobooks while I work, since they're not really anything you need to pay attention to.

I'm on episode 2 but I really dislike Benji. It's also odd that they changed some of the names.

[mysteriouswife]

Speaking of bad hair… benji’s dye jib is as bad as the wigs.

Also multiple actors in the show are not American. I stand by TR and say stop changing the accent.

I even looked up my review of it, and all I wrote was 'Couldn't put this one down!' so I was no help to myself.  But it did make me watch the show, which I enjoyed as the fluff it was (minus enjoying Nicole Kidman's wigs.  Distracting).  I have a total girl crush on the actress who played Merritt.  I used to watch The Bold Type and loved her on that too.

I've always found him so attractive! His ex is Naomi Watts and her best friend is Nicole Kidman. I wonder if it was weird filming together. 

I did not like it. I did find it campy but I didn't get the feeling it was intentional. The beginning dance number was painful to watch.
