Walt Disney Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Jennifer Love Hewitt is a flop. Such an ultra sexy woman and what has she done with it? Been in like 3 movies, then plummeted to nothing. Jennifer Love Hewitt was a star. She was a child actress first. Then, she transitioned to the teen movie roles that made her famous. As an adult, I can't think of many movies that she has done outside of Garfield. Last I heard, she was preparing to star in a TV series about a prostitute or stripper (I forget which one). She hasn't transitioned to more serious adult film roles. However, she was a huge child and teen star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Daniel Radcliffe already has had a decent non Potter hit. The Woman in Black. Can't call him a flopNot to mention 2 Broadway hits.Matthew Lillard had a pretty good supporting role in that George Clooney movie from last year. There's still hope for him IMO.Was Lillard ever hyped the next big thing? There`s a difference between actros who were around and even appeared in some hits but were never hyped as next leading meat and those who were? For example Bloom is a bone fide flop, maybe the most perfect example of flop ever, because he was touted the next Erroll Flynn and Next Tom cruise until his solo flight that crashed and burned on tarmac without even taking off a little.He won a Best Actor Oscar. That alone disqualifies him from being a flop. His career simply faded away.His career didn`t fade away. he could have been a decent character actor. He fucked it up by trying to be the leading man in action movies. That didn`t work. Nobody knew who he was when he wonOoscar so he came out of the left field. Nobody hyped him the next leading man but he hyped himself and started picking roles that aren`t for him and kept flopping. So he is a flop in a way though not by the definition we use here.re:SMG. Not a flop because she wasn`t pushed on us as the leading lady. Kristen Bell is more of a flop because she headlined some shitty romcoms. Anyway, SMG didn`t pursue movie career much and she did open The Grudge and Cruel Intentions. It` sjust that her movie appearances got more rare and rare. I really don`t know what happened. She wasn`t rejected by general audience. It seems as if she couldn`t find work or didn`t want to work.if you want a real TV-to-movies flop than look no further from david Duchovny. he never made a transition. Huge TV star thanks to X Files but couldn`t become bankable on the big screen to save his life. Even though he was touted the next big thing on both screens.

Not to mention neither film was marketed using him really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Isn't she in Boardwalk Empire? yeah 2010-2012. She started her movie career with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Gretchen Mol: When was she It? Vanity Fair declared Mol an "It-girl" on its cover in 1998, the same year she played Matt Damon's girlfriend in "Rounders." She struggled to live up to the hype with a series of underwhelming roles. Where is she now? Mol finally proved her talent with an excellent star turn in 2005's "The Notorious Bettie Page," but her career hasn't improved much since. She was most recently a regular on the failed ABC series "Life on Mars." Can she come back? At the very least Mol deserves the success of other blondes like "Mad Men's" January Jones, but she never landed a major breakout role. Next up is a limited part in HBO's anticipated series "Boardwalk Empire." http://detroit.metromix.com/movies/standard_photo_gallery/hollywoods-it-girl-burnouts/2001148/photo/2001147 .

acab Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Lillard was in Scooby Doo! That counts for something.Anyway i also thought that he 'd become much bigger since i think he had talent and a couple of very good performances in little seen films. SLC Punk and Dead Man's Curve for example.But he went nowhere. He's trying for a mini comeback with The Descendants and Trouble with the Curve.

fishstick Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 but Brody's action roles, King Kong and Predators were financially successful so you can't really call him a flop. Not to mention neither film was marketed using him really KK wasn`t successful because of him and Predators was also a franchise so he was a non-entiry and didn`t set boxoffice on fire. he ddin`t prove anything with those roles. Borlando is a purest form of flop because he has checkmarks in all the right places: Lucked out with a big movie before he could prove himself in anything? Check. Overnight sensation with fangirls? Check. Instantly hyped to be the next big thing?Check. Gets worst reviews in every movie? Check. Guys hate him? Check. His co-star steals a movie from him? Check. His solo flights crash and burn before take-off? Check. Begs old franchises to take him back although he didn`t want to continue with one when he expected better turn of fortune? Check.

They may not have elevated his career but they haven't hurt it in the slightest therefore calling him a flop actor is incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 he is a flop. AD would put him on the Flopped Male Starletts of the Aughts list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 But he's not a flop. He had leading roles in notable indie films such as The Darjeeling Limited, The Brothers Bloom, etc. He's had a significant presence for over a decade, that's not a flopped career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 he definitely isn`t significant presence. Please don`t spin. So what if he is not? I don't think he was ever pushed to be a huge star or anything. But his career is far from a flop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 he wasn`t pushed by anyone but himself. You should read some of his interviews. he said he signed up for The Village because he wanted to be in the blockbuster, he expected KK to make a billion and overall thinks he is cut for an action star. he may not be a Borelnado-like flop but he is certainly dellusional and no asset to anything commercial or prestigeous.

The Toymaker Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 You don't have to in order to be a flop. You have to have "promise" and people should expect you to be the next Jolie or Kidman, as they did with Fox, and she didn't (and isn't), so she's a flop.
