Meet Bill what?? That’s Jessica Alba’s “independent film” shown at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. We already posted the movie’s synopsis HERE (go click!) months ago. Anyway, after being shown in the festival, we haven’t heard about the film until now. A review of Meet Bill finally made its way to the internet and of course, Jessica Alba’s performance was also critiqued. Here’s what the film reviewer has to say about Meet Bill:

Many comedies feature an underdog tenaciously struggling against hardship. There’s something innately appealing about a persistent little guy with the confidence to keep trying. Meet Bill misfires on multiple levels, but its foremost mistake is focusing on a sad-sack underachiever… Cast against type, Aaron Eckhart plays Bill as a cringing milksop, ample gut waterfalling over his waistband, lank hair straggling lifelessly across his brow. Eckhart does big, blinky double-takes… Jessica Alba smiles and widens her glassy eyes at whatever actor is placed before her, exactly as she has done in every other role.

Eeep! Not a good review at all! =( But we’ll see.. Often, movie critics get it wrong. Ultimately, it’s the moviegoers and fans who will decide if Meet Bill is a cool film or not. Can’t wait to watch it!
