I like to watch Sandra Bullock's movies. I know she's had a few clunkers (Speed 2 - what was she thinking?), but most of the time her acting is entertaining, and - caveman thinking coming to the surface - she's cute.
Most of the time, I'll seek out one of her movies because I "need" a feel-good story. Since that's the majority of her films, she's dependable.
I agree with you about Hugh Laurie, by the way. Like to watch him in House, but don't care for him in comedies. Not attracted to him either way, tho.
