Tea Leoni is an awful, shrill little hag. I can't blame people for not wanting to see the film, I think I'd avoid just about any movie that she starred in. I fully believe that she is unquestionably the least likable actress alive.

I think maybe King Kong might have the biggest increase of all movies on Friday (excluding opening movies). The 3-hour running time is a major factor.

I fully believe that she is unquestionably the least likable actress alive. You may be right about her. Maybe Dick and Jane will show a better side of her, but likeability has never been anything she has conveyed in her roles.

I think that with its 1-day gross Rumor Has It will be #8 for the weekend. King Kong, Munich, Fun with Dick and Jane, CBTD2, Narnia, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Family Stone are the only ones I see getting ahead of it.

They should've cast Judi Dench as the female support in FWD&J, seriously. Carrey and his mom, awww... That would've been 200 mil in the bank easy.
Hell, almost any single actress would be a better choice than Leoni. Penelope Cruz, Anna Faris, Madonna(hah), Rachel Bilson, Brooke Shields, Molly Ringwald, Marisa Tomei, Helen Hunt, ... etc.

Most of those would be even worse then Leoni ( and this is coming from someone that finds Leoni very annoying )
Bilson as Carrey's wife

REVISED: After reading USA TODAY this morning and the reviews for CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2 and FUN WITH DICK AND JANE, Both of which received 2 stars, I'm even more convinced now that both movies are going to hurt KONG ALOT this weekend simply because moviegoers don't listen to critics and want to see a good comedy and be the judges themselves.. Both movies also are probably 90 Minutes to which is better than 3 hours and 8 minutes.. We shall see in any event..

If Fun with Dick And Jane bombs, studios should stop putting Tea Leoni in movies. Its amazing what she can do with the box office run even when paired with Adam Sandler and Nicholas CAge

Just think about what a Tea Leoni and Ben Kingsley movie would do with a $200 m budget!

If they were smart, Hollywood executives would stop giving her roles and we'd all be better for it. She was the best thing about SPANGLISH. She gave an excellent performance in a stupid, pointless film. The reason it didn't set the B.O. on fire is because it sucked and also because a lot of Sandler's fans are males who want to see him acting immature and screaming, not as a family man in a dramedy.
I don't even really remember her performance in JP3 but that movie sucked enough on its own so I highly doubt she made it worse.
As for FUN WITH DICK AND JANE, the movie looks "OK." Jim Carrey seems to give another obnoxious, over-the-top, and highly unfunny performance, but I do like the concept and it could be entertaining enough. She seems better in it than him, at least she won't be incredibly grating. I can't stand annoying slapstick comedy.
