Really? I thought the two leads were excellent casting, but would agree all the other characters (except her mother) were not too good castings.

I just really dislike James Spader, and would have preferred someone who's actually attractive instead of Gyllenhal.

LOL why? I think the only reason that the role worked at all was because the girl was supposed to look sort of plain-jane/frumpy in it. If the female lead would have been "gorgeous" or whatever it would have rendered the entire movie totally unbelievable. Granted, I agree with you guys that the flick wasn't all that great, but I don't think that the casting was the reason - I think the casting was pretty much spot on. I think you're SUPPOSED to detest Spader, and he is definitely very loathable.
