Drew Barrymore - yea or nay?

I just saw a commercial for "Music & Lyrics," the new Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore movie, and it prompted me to revisit a topic I've discussed with friends.

I find Drew Barrymore just . . . unpleasant. I have enough of an aversion to her that I will avoid movies featuring DB. Actually that movie "Fever Pitch" was kind of a perfect storm for me, in that it featured DB AND Jimmy Fallon, one of America's most annoying douches. I'm not sure if it's her crooked smile or what, but I just can't stand her.

What say ye?

I'm with you 100%.

She is a good actress, I have to give her that, but I don't like looking at her.

She's a good actress, but that's it. Has anyone ever seen that little documentary "My Date With Drew?" I swear to god, after I watched it I wanted to shoot myself.

:confused: I'm thinking the opposite. Weak actress, who can only get awful roles, but she's definitely hot.

she's annoying now

Some of her older work, especially with Adam Sandler, was good
Even 50 1st dates wasn't too bad (I liked it enough to watch twice)

But now?
she's just....
Odd?
Too throwbackish to the 80s?
dunno, but a definate Nay

Interesting perspective - for the record (since I didn't really address her acting above) I think she's a crappy actress who is neither funny nor attractive.

:Q What? A flower? The remote? Please elaborate!

Any links to her interview or whatever? I don't think I've ever seen an interview of her. It may change my opinion because right now I think she's cool and pretty. :)

listen to the commentary of 50 First Dates. It is one of my favorite movies and I thought it would be neat to hear it, but i could not stand more than 5 minutes because she is soooo stupid sounding.

I find her annoying, not funny, and not attractive (she always seems to be in limbo between being overweight and not and so she just resembles some amorphous gelatinous blob to me).

She's ok in a couple of movies and isn't bothersome when doing just voicework, but for the most part she makes terrible movies.

She was on The Today Show being interviewed by Meredith this morning (I think) and she sounded OK.

I've always liked her and thought she was pretty though.

in some stuff she looks great but in most she looks a little strung out.

I'll have to do that. I have the movie. Thanks. :) Watch. . .I'll probably still like her. :p haha Probably because I'll always associate her with "Fire Starter".

I had a big thing for her back when she was in Playboy. I still think she's pretty cute, but definitely nowhere near where she was.

I found her attractive about 10 years ago when she had short blonde hair. I don't find her attractive at all now. And yes, she's dumb as a rock.
