Is it me (I surely hope so) or is there not a Helen Hunt film out there that doesn’t involve the said actress getting wet? And when I say ‘wet’ I mean ‘wet T-shirt competion wet’. I was unfortunate enough to see “Dr T and the Women” painfully recently (have you also noticed how Robert Altman’s name appears drastically too small on film jackets these days?). She gets wet TWICE. Then there`s "Castaway", "As Good As It Gets", and although I haven`t seen it I’m sure it rains somewhat in “Twister”. I’m merely concerned that the woman’s getting typecast… Please add to my, ok, small list if you can. But I’m sure I’m onto something here. ---

Kinda like Tom Hanks contractual requirement that he pee in all his movies. ---

When Harry Wet Sally:D Okay, I know it’s the wrong actors, but I couldn’t resist. Was Helen Hunt getting wet _before_ the boob job? ---
