Jessica Alba is a Buttercup

Jessica Alba and her mom, Catherine Jensen, picks up a large load at H.D. Buttercup Furniture Mart in Culver City, Calif. on Wednesday.

The National Post just posted the question, “Is box-office golden girl Jessica Alba simply bikini filler?” Some of the quotes they compiled are pretty darn awful:

– “Whether her character is supposed to be sad, glad, mad or indifferent, Alba wears the same vacuous, Barbie-like expression, which suggests the filmmakers could have replaced her with a mannequin and still gotten the same performance – or perhaps a better one.”

– “[In Awake], Jessica Alba isn’t much better as the film’s love interest, although there’s more to the role as the film progresses that gives her a little room to flex the few dramatic muscles she has, even if she’s never particularly credible. Her other muscles are given a chance to show their stuff during a bathtub scene with Christensen early in the movie.”

Terrible! Bigger pictures inside…
