…Amy Adams in tight pants the ENTIRE TIME.  
Oh holy crap she’s hot.

I know, right?

The scene where she appeared, I could have SWORN there was some camel toe action.

I liked the film. Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart was indeed a highlight (although I liked her more for her characterization rather than what she was wearing), and the bit inside the “Kiss” photograph was pretty neat too. And I had no idea those cherubs were the Jonas Brothers. Fun stuff.

Amy Adams? Huh…for some reason, I thought it was Isla Fisher (I haven’t seen the movies, just the previews.)

To be fair, Amy Adams and Isla Fisher look alike…though I think Isla gets the nod, IMO. 😉

Yeah, they’re like friggin twins.  
And the Jonas Bros. were the cupids? Makes sense. My guess was Justin Timberlake harmonizing all three.

I just saw this movie yesterday and I agree with the OP 100%. According to [Amy Adams herself](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29168881/), the movie will be “…an Amy Adams butt show.” She was right!

And that was the ONLY reason to see the movie. Other than that, it sucked big time.

Maybe they could do a Star Wars movie, where one of them is a politician of great importance and the other is her security double…  
😃

That’s just so clever it just might work.

It was indeed. It seemed to be featured prominently, not that her butt was prominent, just that they took every opportunity to show it.

Here’s [one](http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2009_Night_at_the_Museum_2:_Battle_of_the_Smithsonian/2009_night_at_the_museum_battle_of_the_smithsonian_009.jpg), and [this](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.cinematical.com/media/2008/08/earhart082008.jpg) is the closest I could find of a rear shot.

There’s one big physical difference between Isla and Amy, or should I say [two](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9lSwJ-jeXxQ/R1Tnv68PSiI/AAAAAAAAAXw/0grUqipshP4/s1600-R/isla-fisher-picture-6.jpg). [She](http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/2009/04/Isla%20Fisher.jpg)’s a real cutie, too (though neither are enough reason to go see _NatM2_, I’m afraid–unless one is playing Lady Godiva).

If they ever do a live-action remake of _The Little Mermaid_, Amy Adams would be the ONLY choice for Ariel.

She was so perfect already, the definitive “Disney Princess” in [_Enchanted_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461770/) that I wouldn’t imagine that she’d want to tread the same path.
