It wasn't a suitable vehicle for her.<br /><br />Glad, but not too surprised, that you felt positively towards 'Imitation'. During the awards season it seemed to be outshone in recognition by 'Theory of Everything'. In another year I think it might have fared better. I did think Eddie R. deserved the gongs he picked up but on the whole I thought 'Imitation' the better film.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-8768433613539366132015-06-09T05:00:59.911-07:002015-06-09T05:00:59.911-07:00It's not calling out to me Ray.... it seems an...It's not calling out to me Ray.... it seems an odd vehicle for Miranda Hart too.

It applied even more to her part in 'Bridesmaids' where I felt she was a 'token' actor of outsize shape put there among all the other svelte bodies to give a spurious impression of inclusivity, when we all know that in reality all gatherings display a wide range of body types. I think that ultimately this was why I found 'Spy' film not as funny as it thought it was.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-75932437884547201852015-06-08T15:01:49.693-07:002015-06-08T15:01:49.693-07:00Comedy fat gals do nothing for meComedy fat gals do nothing for meJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.com
