George Clooney in OBWAT...it was a tough transition for his ER fans to accept him as an exaggerated buffoon and we know he didn't sing it! Come to think of it, I don't think he's made any good movies...one of those who should probably stick to television.

My daughter and I liked Corelli's Mandolin, BUT we were being sentimental...we liked the fact that it was loosely based on a true story. We did think Cage was miscast...there was obviously no way he was capable of playing and his attempt at an accent really sucked, but there was enough charm there, as well as a bit of history we didn't know about, to keep us watching. Of course, we hadn't read the book, either. Usually I find the book is always better than whatever movie they try to make of one.
