Talkback: Is Jennifer Love Hewitt Really the Worst Actress in Hollywood?

Based on a new analysis of Rotten Tomatoes movie reviews, Slate has determined that Jennifer Love Hewitt is the worst-reviewed actress since 1985. If this statistic sounds impressive, that's because it is.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, a certified Bad Movies We Love vixen earned this un-coveted title by starring in films that only ranged from 0% (Truth About Love, The Suburbans; do you know how rare that is to boast two zero percent credits?) to 53% (The Heartbreakers) on Rotten Tomatoes aggregated review scale. As Slate points out, this means that Love Hewitt has never starred in a film that earned a single "Fresh" rating -- and for those movie math nuts out there, the actress's average Rotten Tomatoes rating is an 18.9 thanks to other flops like Garfield: The Movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II and House Arrest.

Just because Jennifer Love Hewitt is the worst-reviewed actress in the past 26 years, that doesn't mean she is the worst actress, however. Who would you nominate for that title? Conversely, does J.Love deserve all the critical hate? After all, she was pretty good in Can't Hardly Wait.
