I usually call her "Can't-act-to-save-her-life-and-is-only-a-star-because-of-the-toothy-smile-and-the-big-boobs" but that's a bit of a mouthful.

Even she and the even more dismal Casper van Dien can't keep me from coming back again and again to enjoy every minute of this fun ride.

(Let's not talk about how they butchered the book, though.)

p.s. You can catch a Denise Richards cameo in Love, Actually. All she has to do is flash The Smile and wave her boobs around in a cute guy's face while delivering one line, but you have to admit she does it very well.

Casting her as a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough was beyond ridiculous.

I haven’t seen her in anything else but I thought she was brilliant in this role. Veerhoven’s vision is deliberately satirical, just like Robocop, with Denise playing the privileged A student who’s ultimately soulless, Casper playing the dumb jock who only knows how to fight, and Doogie playing the seemingly harmless nerd who’s really a Nazi in training. A wild ride and a stinging anti-war slap in the face to Heinlein who originally wrote this story as a pro-war propaganda piece.
