What WAS so nice about it was that she was blatantly not a teenage starlet playing a 30 or 40 something woman. She was an older woman, who LOOKED older and was also extremely sexy
Full agreement here. I think that it's sad that so many actresses (more so than actors) stop finding work once they hit a certain age. Did they stop looking good? I think no. They just stopped looking twenty.
And Jamie Lee Curtis looked absolutely fantastic.
I think they couldn't have gone any other way with that film though; it's a comedy about being a family man and an over the top secret agent. Without believable characters (and subsequently the actors and actresses playing them) it would have just been a bad comedy when contrasted with the over the top action; it was the over the top meets realistic characters that made that film work.
And I for one am glad they made it. Jamie Lee Curtis rocks, and her husband is a very lucky man.

True Lies should be watched only with attending Lifeguards it would seem.
