Julia Roberts

I absolutely love Julia Roberts! She can play anything! She can be beautiful like in 'pretty woman' or a hardworking, single mother in 'Erin Brockovich'. She is one of the most sought after actresses in hollywood! She gives her films fresh breathe! Even in her personal life she has donated to charities and appears to be a good person! When I watch her movies, its like I am really there, leading an exciting life!

People say that she is over hyped, but to be honest I don't think that there has been a whole lot of hype about her since the mid-90's. She is a decent enough actress, she may be very talented, I don't really know. And I don't understand why people call her ugly, the above thumbnail isn't flattering, but I think she's pretty enough, or at least not unattractive. I can't really say too much about her; good, bad or otherwise as most of her movies fly under my radar. But she's kept busy enough and hasn't been involved in any scandals as far as I know, so I guess that's something.

The teeth that walk among us as a movie star.

I liked her in "Mystic Pizza" - thought she did a very believable social climber/party girl. I've also enjoyed watching "Knotting Hill" several times...which could be more due to the story and location than Julia's input. As far as her looks go - well, she does appear to have more and bigger teeth than Secretariat. Still, she can be somewhat chameleon-like - more attractive in some shots and certain light than in others. Overall, I think she has amassed a fairly decent collection of light comedy roles and some not-too-bad drama. Years from now, I predict they'll be running her stuff on weekends in the name of nostalgia the way they still run the Doris Day/Rock Hudson films today.

Julia Fiona Roberts is her full name, born in Smyrna, Georgia, 1967
she is one of the most popular actress in America. she is veterinarian
Julia's biggest success was in the signature movie Pretty Woman (1990), for which Julia got an Oscar nomination, and also won the People's Choice award for Favorite Actress.
such a talented actress

I love Julia, and I love her niece, Emma. I think they are both great actresses. I did not and continue to dislike people calling her ugly and a terrible actress. But to each their own. I think she is brilliant and does a wonderful acting job. Though her laugh is a bit on the obnoxious side.

Julia Roberts is a mediocre actress with Mrs Poatohead lips. She tries too hard to fake chemistry with Tom Hanks in the sappy "Made for Lifetime" movie Larry Crowne(go watch it on netflix if you don't believe me).

She's a remarkably unattractive woman with a mouth that looks like she could swallow John Holmes and Ron Jeremy at the same time. Not much of an actor either, although I think she occasionally does well in supporting roles, such as her bit in "Charlie Wilson's War."

I can hardly stand looking at this women! Husband stealer, bad actress and a HAS BEEN. Go away and be the earthy mom to your kids. I for one don't want to see you in the movies. You are not a "Pretty Woman." It was a dumb message for young girls anyway.....

Uh, no-o-o. Not as lop-sided as her brother, but 'pretty woman' is false advertising.

She's not my cup o' tea but wow, she is beautiful and good actress.

rude horrible actress yuk

I want to throw up every time I see her... She is just hideous

I liked her in FLATLINERS, but her brother, Eric, when he was first starting out was absolutely gorgeous. Check him out in "Raggedy Man"...they look alike but Eric has green eyes, and straighter features (had I mean) plus, what a bod--total hottie, WOW...He could actually get into character. Played good-guys, bad-guys and everything in between. Too bad he got into a motorcycle crash which destroyed his perfect face. He did too many drugs, too...he looks terrible now. Julia Roberts does not have the range that her brother did.

One of my favorite actresses... just love her!

Roberts has given her time and resources to UNICEF as well as to other charitable organizations.

UGLY

An amzing actress! All her movies are awesome! Pretty Woman will be a classic forever!

wish shed do more movies

I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Julia Roberts in it that I didn't like. She's a great actress.

one on my favs

Skills

kinda overrated

my fav

More like 3.5. I always thought she was somewhat overrated and doesn't have much range. Although, I did really enjoy her performance in "Confessions of A Dangerous Mind".

She probably deserves four star for her acting ability, but I'm going to have to demote her a star for the kind of movies she makes. I can't say that I've ever been excited to see the next Julia Roberts movie.

Some will disagree but Julia Roberts is pretty good. She can do comedy and serious roles as well.

Nearly 250 entries in this category. Roberts' name does not readily come to mind when thinking about the classic or the most talented. There is room enough in the movies for the appeal of a next-door type, male or female. Like Meg Ryan, has found it hard to either play away from type or for audiences o accept her as such, although she was quite into her character in director Mike Nichols' 'Closer' and find her Academy Award well earned.

Can't watch anything she's in.  Pretty Woman was the worst movie of all-time, no wonder Hollywood pays her $20 million a film.  Think about the plot, a Hollywood street hooker, who isn't on drugs, doesn't have AIDS, and won't let a rich millionaire take care of her financially because I guess that goes against her morals, but sucking d*ck for money doesn't....laughable.  If this horse-toothed hag is America's Sweetheart, then I guess Charles Manson is the All-American Boy.....my god, the American public is so easily duped by Hollywood and the tabloids.  I wish I could've rated her a zero but it wouldn't let me.

Whatever role she is in, she is always Julia Roberts first, I have never seen "disappear" into a character, like say, Meryl Streep.

All you one star people can stick it up your ass. Shes a wonderful actress and one of my few favorites too. And by God more people should be doing something about pollution, we need stars to jump on the green band wagon. Thats usually how environmental stuff gets started anyway. Have fun breathing in the dirty air, GenghisTheHun.

I've tried unsuccessfully again and again to imagine kissing her...but, oddly, memories of my grandpa's 1947 Buick Roadmaster, with that gawdy grillework of vertical chrome bars, in a gleaming grimace of arrogance or constipation...maybe both.  Granted, she may be a decent actor, but since the tabloids bring their f-d up lives right to my morning bagel, I reserve the right to vary from an artistic rendition of criticism.  By the way, Tom Cruise is allegedly a good actor, too.

I don't get it.  She makes my skin crawl.  It is a tribute to our society, however, that we can find high paying jobs for the mentally challenged.  The fact that she became famous playing a chippie says it all!

We should all be listening raptly and gathering our political information from this high school graduate(?) and college drop out.

I have said this before, not on this site, however. With Julia Roberts, you either think she is a great actress, or a terrible one. Either super ugly or super sexy. I am one of these people who say that she is a great actress and is super sexy. People that complain about her fame are just posers who wish they had the same. Also, people say she is stupid, but actually, she is rather smart. Make a great guest on Real Time with Bill Maher. Has good attacks on George W. Bush, the absolute positive worst president in United States History.

OVERrated! agreed. whudafck??? 20 mil a film??? that could house the millions of poverty stricken people around the world and her acting deserves it instead? holy sh*t! if the great miss pretty woman could afford to give up just one of her ridiculously undeserved paychecks imagine what that could do for people who actually need it....shes not even that good of an actress......or good-looking.

She is a beautiful actress. She will be my favorite
forever. She has 8 movies that has made over 100 million
at the box office. I am not including the Ocean's
movies.I predict many more. She is the most successful
actress of all time.

pretty woman is a childish infantile movie.....her acting is pompous and shallow....a pathetic women of little thought....ive seen better faces on aardvarks

The hype surrounding her is definitely over-rated when compared to the buzz generated by an actual performance. There are definitely better actresses, and none of them are worth 20 mill. a movie, get real!

O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D! C'mon, 20 mil a film? She's proven time and again that she can't open a film. Put her in an emsemble (Ocean's 11, Closer) and she's fine. However, when her name is above the line (Mona Lisa Smile), she can't pull it off. And let's not even go to Broadway. 20 mil? Negro please..

Julia Roberts sucks, she should keep her HUGHE mouth shut about the President, like him or not, she should not be using her public persona to voice her opinion, after all they are like a holes and they all stink. HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT A HOLE, YOU LIVE/WORK HERE!

I can't believe so many people are rating her lowly because they don't like her looks. I personally think she's lovely but that doesn't impact my opinion of her acting, which is A-1. She can do comedy (The Mexican, My Best Friend's Wedding) as well as drama (Steel Magnolias, Erin Brockovich) and is fabulous in suspense (Sleeping with the Enemy, Mary Reilly, The Pelican Brief). I really can't recall her in anything that I didn't at least like.

An OK actress. Cliche roles.

The reason I like Julia, besides being a good actress, is because she hasn't been in any awful movies. The extent being Pretty Woman.

One of the all time worst actresses.

She has the face of a horse and the acting skill of its rear end. Way way way overrated.
