Maybe, maybe not. But many commented that her face without the hairdo was “ordinary.”

Holy, moley! Have you seen that film? From the imdb listing, it sounds like it’s in the so-bad-it’s-good category. Except …

Seen it? I own it on DVD.

No, seriously. I do. They had it at the dollar store… for $5. (Yeah, sounded weird to me, too. 'Round here, everything just costs a price ending in “dollar.”)
