Eva Mendes tells AFI her favorite movie

[supertech9041]

I don't find her hot and never liked her in any movie. I think her favorite films are whatever the popular film is at the time. I liked Anchorman but I can't watch it over and over again. For comedy I would say ground hog day has better repleat value.

[CelticMudkip]

@supertech9041

Oh man. Groundhog Day is just brilliance in a jar. Now THAT is a smart comedy.

[jakkelyd]

lol at responses, what's so bad about choosing Anchorman. It's great.

[StyrbjornStarke]

Tasteless bitch, just another opportunist without talent

[OhHiKuzon]

@StyrbjornStarke Say's the loser at home on youtube. hahahaha what a jealous loser, your life is sad. hahahahahahahahahaha

[StyrbjornStarke]

@OhHiKuzon That coming from a loser who also hangs on youtube really means a lot

[bigpapykane]

Stupid bitch!!

[califinn]

wow, dumb.

[vaginachuckles]

Eva Mendes is hot as fuck! I'm masturbating right now......

awwwwwww aaaaaaaaaa haaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaa

I reached it..... & a happy ending.

[IWantDaveKast]

im sorry why do i give a fuck about this chick's favorite movie?

i thought she was designed for eye candy only. i wasnt told we had to hear her opinion on things she has no business talking about

[skinwalkerxxx]

wow I like her so much for that answer

[HamOnRye44]

Type in "DP/30, Bad Lieutenant - Port Of Call New Orleans, actor Eva Mendes"

She actually has good taste.

[dcolby5]

Nothing silly about her answer. Comedy is a legitimate genre, and "Anchorman" is one of the funniest comedies of the modern era.

[degree7]

@dcolby5

The Anchorman is an OKAY comedy, but it's hardly comedic genius.

Do you know what is one of the best comedies of the modern era? Groundhog Day.

[MrRazorblade999]

Goddamn I wanna fuck the bad taste out of her body.

[wolferlwa]

Guys, she is gorgeous, she can say whatever she wants and thinks...:)

[Rimbaud1531]

at least she's honest.

[BeenaBee]

Anchorman? of all the films she could have told such a well well-known institute...a little embarrassing that she has no sense of history and love for the culture..

[asnabelgur]

@BeenaBee What,you wanted her to say "The Godfather,Citizen Kane,Gone With The Wind and The Shawshank Redemption"?Believe it or not,but different people have different taste.Every single movie that is on the top 250 best films of all time list on IMDb has been given more then 20 negative reviews.Alot of movies that most people consider very bad(Asterix and Obelix vs Ceasar,Batman Forever,Freddie Got Fingered) are enjoyed by many(including me).

[WALTERBROADDUS]

my kind of girl.

[FYFE10]

omg how stupid is she?

[snoookie456]

SHE'S DEAD TO ME!!!

[mrnannyfanatic]

i'm embarrassed for her

[catherinefan32]

wow terrible actor and terrible choice of film

[EnzoTheBaker]

Her face looks like she got slapped on both sides

[jazzx251]

Cor!

Eva Mendes.

They'll have to make a movie called "Wanker Man"

[TheStaticage01]

Its called SEX PANTHER...Its made from real panthers?....60 percent of the time-IT WORKS EVERYTIME!

That doesn't even make sense?

[getout84]

So disappointed with her , response !! Does she think she is above this question .

[getout84]

Wow , Eva , why is that the only way you can answer that question .

[hadiez12345]

She didn't say it was the best movie, just her favorite. Why pick a serious movie for a favorite? I never want to watch the same serious movie multiple times but I can watch a funny movie over and over.

[brainsick213]

i guess she hasent seen good films lately...giver her some scorsese and maybe she will change her mind

[iloveken222]

...and this is why she's a bad actress

[Howler54]

Anchorman IS pretty damn funny.

[levimon]

stupid bitch

[bla87]

She picked Secrets & Lies, Network, and The Big Lebowski in a rottentomatoes interview. Pretty big difference in taste.

[WinstonSmith6079]

@bla87 LOL I don't think she knows what she's picking LOL hehehe

At least the fellas could say that they don't really have any one particular film only that's they think is The Greatest of ALL LOL hehehehe I agree--I don't have only one #1 favorite either as such hehehe not all the time hehehe

LOL like that other Commenter said: It's a good thing for her she's pretty LOL hehehe

[peoplehavemanynames]

anchorman is amazing! It may not be my favorite movie of all time but it's probably up there for me because it is hilarious and I'm pretty sure I'll never get sick of it.

[LEGOIndy333]

She's the girl from Ghost Rider.

[M23MATERAZZI]

she knows shit about cinema, thats for sure.

[RatFacedJasper]

I have to praise her answer.

She was honest, even though she knew it would be negatively.

How many celebrities do you think will say something like The Godfather, Citizen Kane, It's a Wonderful Life, without having seen it just to show that they appreciate artistic integrity above all else?

Besides, they asked her favourite movie, not what is the best movie. Your favourite movie is the one that you can watch again and again. It doesn't have to be a Multi-Oscar Winning Masterpiece.

[tech4156]

too much make up but id still fuck her senseless

[ShotgunHeroX]

Hey.. I'm starting to like this broad!

[Ladygagsalot]

Eva Mendez is so hot!

[MjoelH]

how is she stupid? anchorman's the shit!

[reballare]

What a mong. She might as well said Transformers 2.

[moneybags1972]

Sounds like she's gonna give her final answer on who wants to be a millionaire. "Im going with anchor man. I'm gonna stick with anchor man."

[idalgleish87]

I think she should go back to her home on whore island with an answer like that.

[rock3tcat]

It is a good thing that she's pretty...

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

Anchorman's a great comedy, probably in my top 10 favorite comedies of all time, but not the best movie ever. Although I too can quote nearly ever line from it. Don't act like you're not impressed, Eva.

[MetallicBill]

@TheBackOfTheBoat Expect another, due to fan reaction, as well, Another Austin Powers because people love those movies. I hear that Indian Jones may come to fruition down the line, if a script happens!

[wesker1998]

man is she STTTUUUPPIIIDDD.

[ThatGuyYouAvoid]

"I can't take that any more seriously"

She is picking a joke answer because it is incredibly difficult for someone who understands and respects film and acting to pick a single favourite film

[kmanfitz]

Some people, like Natalie Portman, are smart and sexy. Some people, like Eva, are beautiful and retarded.

[EnergizerBunny804]

wow, really?

[MsChBong]

Way to give the finger to those pretentious ponces that call themselves "intellectuals" :)

[getlikemc]

underrated movie

[applecross20]

That would've only been an acceptable answer for "What is Will Ferrell's best comedy?"

[viniciusb]

@applecross20 It would still be bad, I'd say Old School.

[jkshrout131]

@applecross20 It'd be a better answer to "What is Will Ferrell's most overrated comedy?"

[TRIVIUMARSENAL]

anchorman is amazing

[TheSyrixs]

my favorite movies are "tight and right 2" and "she's not lesbian she's a vagitarien"

[Novak67766]

The pretty idiot.

[duncanpunisher]

That's how Will Ferell wooed her in The Other Guys: Quoting Ron Burgundy.

[BigComeUp12506]

Eva Mendes Is Fine As Hell ... Mine Is Donnie Brasco. 

[VALMARIESASK]

I just luved Porky Pig meats Chain Saw Masacre

[toxsickdog]

my favorite movie is bill & teds bogus journey

[connerspencern]

@toxsickdog Excellent Adventure is better. It's one of those rare movies that gets better every time I watch it

[stubsfahey87]

Ì'm pretty sure she wasn't serious. 

[inrwizards]

shes stupid. i mean SO fucking shallow. id fuck her though

[burntsoup]

@inrwizards Oh the hypocrite shines though.

[wwerulestna]

Her favourite movie is Anchorman? What an idiot...

[sportog9]

That's why she is wife material...Anchorman is her favorite movie and she is 2 hot 4 words....

[Camerador]

She's hot as a frying pan and dum as a donkey...it's a winning combo for hollywood!!!

[IronManOfficialguy]

Shes being honest dont hate. I think anchorman is a good comedy.

[FuckYouIamAntonio]

what a shitty choice

[liamdhardy]

Quite a funny film but......... oh dear.

[VicenzoV]

"Do you know who I am?"

"No, I can't say that I do."

"I don't know how to put this... but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me."

[akuma4u]

shes so hot such a firm ass and tight little body mmm

[MetalGearOtakon]

I'm very sorry to all of you who wanted her favorite movie to be some 1960's film with "superb" acting and "sophisticated" writing.

God forbid she's a REAL person.

[PintendoPwii]

@MetalGearOtakon

Well said

(:

[iwbtssothy]

"Eva Mendes tells AFI her favorite movie"

What an awesome joke lol

[4ndreGusmao]

she is the perfect woman!!

i don't want to date a girl who says the dolce vita. fuck that

will ferell all the way!!

[Brehserman]

Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy ist a damn funny movie. Someone else named Naked Gun as his favourite movie.

But since Eva is hot, she certainly has to name Citizen Kane as her favourite movie to not look stupid... /sarcasm

[goonookanooka]

what a shock, the effeminate misogynist douche bags who make up the internet hate a woman clearly not worried about intellectually impressing everyone. Heaven forbid someone should be a real person, and not an anal retentive bore. I suppose being yourself to the drones here mean someone is retarded. Poor, poor miserable people. I hope you one day find some happiness.

[iwbtssothy]

@goonookanooka

The thing is if you work in a film industry and want people around take you seriously how can you honestly say that your favorite movie of ALL TIME is... Anchorman (2004)? I mean how is that possible? It's not even funny.

[Barcount]

Angermanagement what?

[naddan87]

@Barcount  ANCHORMAN WITH WILL FERREL

[aldodanilo]

What movie is that?

[TheCodeNameisSnake]

she sounds retarded?

Maybe that's her personality,have you ever seen most famous women and there uncoolness,{get the fuck out of her you shy cunt},dont mistake being herself for being retarded.

she might act retarded sometimes but at least shes not stiff and boner shattering.

[Ryan81M]

Anchorman? Never fuckin' heard of it.

[obsessivesffe]

she has a good taste in movie

[Anything2DoWithFilm]

She is fucking retarded. You would have thought she would even realize how dumb she sounded, but no, she's THAT dumb that she doesn't realize.

[bosman1988]

She's so fucking cute

[NeverLostYou]

When people call a comedy movie their "favorite" everyone goes apeshit.

Why do people hate comedy?

[GaldrielStarQueen2B]

Why is she famous? Her opinion on whats the best movie shows what kind of actor she is.... a very bad one just like the movie anchorman is bad. People are saying shes ugly which I think is untrue. What she is is just plain boring and annoying. I'd think twice before watching any movie shes in.

[Paranoiamovie]

@GaldrielStarQueen2B it was her opion on her favorit movie not the best.

[winkler94]

wtf? anchorman was a stupid movie choice.....

btw, my favorite movie is the green mile

[SmartGuy212121]

Anchorman...? really?.....

[lookingglassedge]

I don't find Eva Mendez to be a great actress or anything. But still, you can admire her honesty.

It says favorite film of all time, not the best film of all time or your favorite. Anchorman is a hilarious movie that I love too. It's no master movie but its good and if that's her favorite we really can't judge.

[Neonman78]

@lookingglassedge Why the hell isn't this the highest rated comment?

[DubSteppinLikeWoah]

@robbycan LMAO!

[AIMANALI]

@robbycan that is how i like em - LOL

[KillSwitch2]

@robbycan

I'd bet she's twice as intelligent as you.

[maalaea]

@robbycan ??? really.

[acebunny17]

shes butt ugly and dumb

[KaitainCPS]

Butt ugly...no.

[KillSwitch2]

She is neither butt ugly nor dumb.

You are simply a homosexual man who doesn't, and can't, find anything physically attractive in the female species because that is simply not the way you are wired.

[acebunny17]

Dont cry bcuz i insulted your buttugly crush,seriously,go and take a look around at her imdb pictures,ugly as fuck

[acebunny17]

my girlfriend is a dark latina and I tell you now,eva mendez is ugly

[KillSwitch2]

Only because you are a closet-cased faggot that, on occasion, likes to swallow his own load and frequent the local fag-haf stag parties in the area.

Not that there's wrong with ANY of that.

[acebunny17]

Wow,so if I say eve mendez is ugly that means im a faggot?You are really fucked in the head.Oh and those thing you said are disgusting,you are sick

[KillSwitch2]

Shut up you old hag. It's past your bedtime.

[acebunny17]

stop crying

[joharmon86]

i really respect this answer. i'm so sick of these film snob elitists who pick films that critics drool over which are seriously overrated. for example, the hurt locker was boring and said nothing original or interesting about the world; i fell asleep. yet, it's considered the best film of the year. i thought jarhead was better and actually said more about the world, was far more entertaining, etc. same thing applies to no country for old men. that movie was stupid. also fell asleep during that

[KillSwitch2]

If you actually fell asleep during 'No Country for Old Men' then you simply do not know what great films are.

[antimatterXXXIII]

@joharmon86 Sure - there is something to be said for admitting how stupid and shallow you are. I would pick Anchorman over the Searchers - yes, I would. Or Cabaret. Yes. No.

[Alkaline850]

Fuck you, JHarmon

[acebunny17]

give up movies,man.you fail if you dont like NCFOM.Oh and jarhead was pretty bad

[johnnywayne187]

she mad sexy!! and dumb lol!!

[MatMurk]

Guys take it easy, if that's her favorite film who cares, remember they said favorite not BEST. My favorite film is "Secret Of My Success" but I know that it's not the best movie ever made, it's just MY favorite.

[antred11]

@MatMurk That's exactly right. Judging a person based on her favorite movie is of questionable value anyway.

[Maarow]

@imshrey That's a little harsh.

[93johnk]

no thats what you need to do

[juandigreat87]

Best comment i´ve read this year.

[Y2JROCKFAN]

Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy?

If so she needs to watch more films.

[Stevieraylittlewing]

Remember it's Eva they're asking; not you, not me, nobody else. If your favourite film is whatever it may be you're entitled to your opinion; I mean it's your favourite film; nobody else's, although there may be others who share your point of view.

Me, I've never seen Anchorman, but given what Eva thinks about it I reckon I'm going to check it out!

Respect!!!

[AboDi22lalala]

ill spare her cos she makes me erect

am thinkin.. Amadeus!

[Comictalent]

Eva totally rocks. Surprise answer. Anchorman is the funniest movie of the decade.

[kalamantas3]

DUMB SEXY BITCH LOL

[jazz4]

oh, I thought she was clever.

[shackleton555]

OUT OF ALL THE MOVIES, you choose that ONE?!?! woooow. DISAPPOINTING. yeah its funny, but, like...c'mon. She's GORGEOUS, but I've seen interviews and just the stuff she says doesn't exactly show substance. She's a joy to watch, but she doesn't impress me.

[EmeraldAxe2]

That is nearly the EXACT impression I had. It's amazing how much you can learn about a person by asking 'what's your favorite movie?'

[JyaLeaf1911]

anchorman is fucking rubbish... why do people think its good ffs

[SimVik91]

I agree with Mendes. Anchorman is a fantastic film. Why? Brick Tamland!

[EmeraldAxe2]

I like anchorman, but anchorman is a movie. Film, in the way Billy Walsh says it in that Medellin episode of entourage, is a separate class of cinema where something more along the lines of [insert any of the responses from any of the other ppl AFI interviewed and youtube highlights on the right side of your screen] fits.

[NikeAurrs45]

mt favorite film is her sex tape

[ImperatorLaurentius]

The question was: "What's your favorite movie?" and not "What do you think is the best movie?".

Being in the art of acting one could of course expect her to know at least imdb's top ten. She could've just picked one of these, but honestly, that would have made her drop for me.

Yeah, right so Eva! Go!

[jrdindial]

what's wrong with u people, one of the best ever! p.s.-- i want to be on you.

[sindri2007]

I understand that anyone who is not in the world of film/acting would just choose a lighthearted commercial flick but being in the art of acting i thought she would choose a more... worthy film... but again what could you ask of her.

[ImperatorLaurentius]

Stop being such a piss. If you have no clue but manage to come off funny and humurous you've basically won. What she did.

[gangstasmurf06]

You can see in her eyes that she was also considering Nacho Libre for a second.

[green2narcoticz]

Not my kind of movie, but at least she didn't try to sound sophisticated by picking some hoity-toity obscure film. Go her.

[dpr1326]

I've always thought that it couldn't possibly be bullshit to state a preference. I can no longer say that now.

[SalamiKing7]

Bad choice!

[1973Carpenter]

There are movies that are simply epic, even if it's only to us. "Strictly Ballroom" is definately one of my all time favorites but not many in the states are familiar with it and will look at me funny when I say it. It's a movie that totally moves me. Same with "Deliverence". That said...a favorite of all time, a classic in our own mind, isn't the same thing as a kitchy flick we could watch over and over because its light-hearted or funny or touching. If it entertains you, that's all that counts

[Bakazuraz]

Anchorman, final answer Reggis.

Of all the Will Ferrel movies she could've chosen she chose one of the cruddiest ones. *shudders*

[thedude00000]

there's nothing wrong with that choice...its HER favorite movie, doenst have to be the best movie ever made, or the most critically acclaimed

[dub1681]

why is she always orange?

[bigsexyjoejoe]

better than white.

[ArchStantonLives]

To all you pompous people below without a sense of humour - she's highlighting the pretentiousness and impossibility of choosing a 'favourite' film... BTW what should she have said? 'The Godfather'? 'Casablanca'? 'Citizen Kane'? Blah, blah, blah... yawn.

The Legend of Ron Burgundy? A classic!

[dub1681]

she should have said Weekend At Bernie's

[NeroBlack2200]

Stupid people call smart people "pretentious" and "pompous" because they're tired of looking and sounding stupid.

Tosser.

[NeroBlack2200]

It's moments like these where the difference between a "celebrity" and an "actor" becomes very clear.

[JohnFO5]

You couldn't have put that any better. Well done.

[DalleKanelius]

Well... can't say i agree on that. But sure, what the hell. If it floats your boat

[battycrease1992]

Probably the worst thing she could have said- it's an awesome movie, but sort of showed herself to have no taste in classics.

[iggy1287]

That's a deep puddle.....

[KevsHardLemonade]

Its obvious without watching this, she had no taste in movies. She became an actress not for the love of movies thats for certain.

[LanceThunderclap]

Great story. Compelling and rich.

[josespanishfly]

Wow, and Anchorman was horrible. You suck Eva Mendes

[lehighmark]

deep....

[Reindrich]

she can't act for crap

[CrusaderKal]

Achorman...oh lease let me never end up in the same room as this mindless woman....yuk

[Vektruscen]

Anchorman is easily one of the best comedies of all time. It's absolutely priceless.

[DubSteppinLikeWoah]

@Vektruscen according to a reliable source, anchorman had an approximate price of $26,000,000.

[lovelyspringweather]

this person is awesome.

[themovienut]

so is she taking the piss or is she REALLY serious.

[amg1084]

Eva's probably reading all these negative comments and laughing her ass off. If you haven't heard Eva's going to be in a lot more serious roles. So for all you people saying she's just "eyecandy" Eva thanks you for the publicity :)

[greg5566]

I'm confused about something--why do we care what Eva Mendes has to say about, well, anything?

[joeswanson]

well you obviously care if you are here commenting.

[greg5566]

What an impressive display of logic!  Well done!
