Katie Holmes being panned by critics.
Katie Holmes is getting harsh reactions from critics in her first return to the big screen since wedding Tom Cruise and welcoming daughter Suri.
“And the cinematic comeback of the year award goes to…somebody other than Katie Holmes,” says a New York Post critic, who calls her new heist comedy Mad Money, co-starring Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton, “the most cringe-making return since Love Boat: The Next Wave.
“Holmes, with Alice Cooper hair and crazy Jim Carrey eyes, looks terrible and acts worse, unless this movie is unintentionally a lobotomy documentary,” the reviewer writes. “Whatever could have happened to her in the last couple of years to zap the talent out of her like this?”
The New York Times says Holmes is “the movie’s weakest link.”
Variety adds that throughout the film “Holmes is awkwardly upsetting the balance” between Latifah and Keaton.
“Their heist is only the pretext for jinks that range from medium high (as played out by Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton) to painfully low (as perpetrated by Katie Holmes, who pops her eyes, scrunches her nose and shakes her booty in lieu of acting),” writes the Wall Street Journal.
Holmes, who seems to have changed a lot since her early days based on her talk show appearances this week, also recently got flak for some questionable style moves in NYC.

I am getting tired of everyone bashing this girl! She is beautiful, respectable and a seemingly very attentive and active mother. I tink she is terrific!

sorry, guys, i’m chiming in with the bashing……what kind of respectable woman pretends to run the NYC marathon? it is a disgrace to people who actually train and complete the marathon….check out other gossip blogs – there is evidence that she faked running the whole thing. That, in my opinion, is disgusting.

I usually adore her and hope she escapes the cult and tom soon….. but in this photo, she almost looks like tom!!!

OMG, I thought it was Tom!

I HOPE SHE WAKES UP AND HELPS TOM AWAY FROM THAT CULT. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DONT TEACH OUR CHILDREN ABOUT GOD AND READ THE BIBLE TO THEM. THEY TURN TO CULTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FOUNDATIONS.

really? they are acting like she JUST lost her talent? she has never been a great actress. she was horrid in batman! she just disturbs me……everrything about her reeks of insincerety. i will say that she seems like a loving mom, but that has nothing to do with her acting ability.

IT IS A SAD COMMENTARY TO LOOK AT WHAT “TALENT ” IS MAKING MOVIES THESE DAYS, AS OPPOSED TO THE DAYS IN THE THIRTIES, FORTIES, AND FIFTIES WHEN ALL THE TRUE TALENTED ACTORA AND ACTRESSES ABOUNDED! KATIE HOLMES IS WORTHLESS, AND SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK IN TO HER “BOT BOX” AND STOP “ACTING”, PERIOD!!!!!

I MEANT ACTORS! TALENTLESS NOBODYS ARE BEING PAID TOO MUCH MONEY , WHILE WORTHWHILE PEOPLE SUCH AS FIRE FIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, SECURITY OFFICERS, NURSES, AND TEACHERS, TO NAME BUT A FEW, ARE PAID GARBAGE WAGES ON WHICH WE CAN BARELY SURVIVE!
