So if your life story or some part of it were made into a movie who would you want to play your part?

Who would play the other significant parts? DH, DP, DC's?

Sorry but your mind wanders to STRANGE topics at 5 am when you're up feeding a little one and I can't get this one out of my head!

Some people thought I looked a bit like Minnie Driver when she was in Circle of Friends (when she was the "fat" character - I didn't think so but whatever). So maybe her or America Ferrera (I just love her!!)

DH always reminds me of athletes; and I totally thought this one picture of Jim Thome looked like him.

I have NO idea. I don't think I or my DD look like anyone, DH could be played by a few people though. Michael Rosenbaum maybe?

LOL I was just thinking about this, because when I was almost 30 (five years ago tomorrow!) I met a guy on the freeway and we went out a few times. When I told some people the story, they said, "OMG this is totally like a movie!!" and said that Sandra Bullock should play me.

I think George Clooney should play B. :D

My mom has always said I remind her of the girl who played on Life Goes On and Lucy on ER (Kelli Martin?). DH could be played by Tommy Lee Jones though DH is much younger and better looking (so said in case he's reading this;))

MIL would be played by the actor who played Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond. Trust me, it's a perfect fit.

DD would have to play herself; there isn't anyone cute enough.;)

Along time ago a friend told me I remind her of Rosie O'Donnell. So I guess she would play me. And DH would be played by Kevin James. His character of Doug in King of Queens is so my DH. He even looks like KJ. People always tell him that he looks like "that guy Doug".

How is this for a movie:

For my part, it would be Liv Tyler. We have the same fair skin, blue eyes and long hair. Plus, I just love her! Of course, I am not as tall or quite as thin, but oh well!

For my husband, I would have to say Joaquin Phoenix, because he has a strong jaw, low brow, an air of mystery about him, and cool hair.

My mom would be played by Helena Bohnam Carter. They both have a crazy style and similar featurs!

My step-dad would be Mitch Pileggi (he played Skinner on the X-files)because he always reminded me of him.

My best friend Heather would be played by Kelly Osbourne because she reminds me of her in many ways. She would have to go back to blonde hair for the role though!

Hands down I'd be played by Sandra Bullock. A lot of people say I mimic her characters. DH would be a toss up between Jude Law and Orlando Bloom - he's been told he looks like either one of them.

My DD would be a young Cameron Diaz. She's been told by me and others that she is exactly like her. BFF would be played by Debra Messing. :)

Me - Janeane Garofalo. DH says Salma Hayek, we have the same body type and are the same height, and both Latinas, but I can't stand SH so I say no :D
DH - James McAvoy, because he's hot, and he's the same height as my DH and he also married an older woman ;D

I'm played by Tina Fey--and DH would be Chris Daughtry or Billy Zane (when Zane shaves his head ;->)

I think I'll choose Ricky Shroeder for my son--cutest child actor ever!

Matt Damon is DH, they look so much alike to me.

Jennifer Aniston is me, not because we look especially alike but because I want her body for a few hours of a movie.

My kids are my kids because as Irish Elf said nobody else is cute enough ;)

Dr. Ruth is my mom, because they are both tiny little German ladies and have the same accent.

Ray Romano from EBLR is my brother, because sometimes I swear they were separated at birth.

The lady who played Gregs mom on Dharma and Greg is my MIL...in fact just have that same character of Gregs mom be my MIL.:rolleyes:

I would be played by Drew Barrymore....it's not that we look so much alike it's just that when I see her I think of ME for some odd reason. :o

And DH, well, I have no idea.

I would be played by Chloƫ Sevigny. Before I had kids people told me I kind of looked like her.

Dh let's see he would be played by Fred Flintstone, no joke, he acts like him and sometimes forgets we are not living in the stone age. WILMA......WHERE'S MY DINNER????............LOL.

The small woman from Poltergeist (Zelda I think is her name) would play my mom. She has always heard from many people that she looks and sounds like her.

My kids would be played by monkeys.

I would be played by Jennifer Aniston or Sarah Jessica Parker.
DH would be played by Matt Damon (b/c he's hawt!).
DD would be played by a spider monkey all jacked up on mountain dew. ;)

Anthony Hopkins. He's the only one with enough talent to capture my essence. My husband looks a little like Matthew Fox and a lot like Bill Rancic from The Apprentice.

I would be played by Nicole Kidman (same hair and coloring), but she would have to be like Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull and gain 50lbs to be convincing.

DH would have to be played by Kiefer Sutherland since he is constantly told he looks like him.

DS (18 months) - a toddler version of Ralphie from the Christmas Story
DD (2.5 months) - one of the animated M&M guys (she is perfectly round)

Me-Jodie Foster, Amy Poehler or Bridgette Fonda
DH-My DH is a giant, I don't think there are any actors that look like him
DS-No one cute enough ;)

I have no idea who should play me, my DH or my parents. You can see a pic here (http://www.jessandjer.com/pics/wedding/BLATZ1-R1-E010-pp.JPG). Any suggestions?

I would be played by Alissa Milano because I used to love her growing up and if I were much thinner I think we would look alike. DH would be Robert Downey Jr, so many people see pictures of him and think that they look just alike.

A lot of people tell me that I look like Liv Tyler, so I'll say her or Winona Ryder for me.

I asked DH who would play him in a movie, and he said (direct quote): "Forest Whitacker, of course! He's a great actor!" LOL. Personally, I think Ben Affleck looks a lot more like DH than Forest Whitacker, but whatever ;)

I would say:
You - Melanie Lynskey
Your dh - a younger Stanley Tucci
Your dad - Victor Garber w/ a mustache
Your mom - Not sure...but there was a woman on an episode of CSI that looked just like her

For my life story, it would have to be Kristin Davis or Elizabeth Reaser (Ava from Grey's Anatomy). I've been told I look like both many times, to the point of people actually asking if I AM from Grey's Anatomy (but I think it's only because I live in Hollywood, so it's plausible).

Me: Jennifer Garner, just b/c she has the "girl next door" quality that I think I have as well.

DH: Definitely Toby Maguire. He reminds me so much of my DH...espcially with glasses on.

My parents would be played by: Kathy Bates and Kenny Loggins. LOL!

IL's by: Not sure here....hmmm I'll have to think about it.

Me: Tina Fey. Not that I look much like her, but she's my hero and I like to think I'm a quarter as funny and smart as she is.
DH: John Krasinski - the resemblance is creepy.
My mom: Lauren Graham.
BIL: Tom Cruise. They bear a strong resemblance and, they both peaked some time in the 80s.
I'm at a loss as to DH's parents, and BIL's wife.

I think Elisabeth Shue would play me and Matt Damon would play DH (they have a similiar look)...he always jokes though that Denzel Washington would play him - since Denzel is such an awesome actor/man ;)

I've been likened to Drew Barrymore and Kellie Martin in the past, but the one I hear the most is Kate Winslet. Which would be great. Except she's way too short.

I have no idea on DH... he doesn't look like anyone to me.

My brother, hands down, is Chandler's creepy temporary roommate from Friends -- Eddie, the one with the fish? You woul dnot believe how identical they are, even to voice and mannerisms.

My mom would be Sally Field. Looks just like her, brown football helmet and all.

DS would be played by Baby Bob LOL

No clue on the girls.

I'd be played by a less-glamorous-than-usual Heather Locklear, or perhaps Michele Pfeiffer. (Someone who is of a certain age, but has still retained her youthfulness.)

DH would be played by either Denis Leary, Curt Schilling of the Boston Red Sox, or Hermey the dentist elf on Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Definitely Kirsten Dunst for my part. Though we have different teeth (I don't have those fangs!), I've been mistaken for her in a gym class and multiple people have told me that I look like her.

Justin Timberlake for DH-they have very similar facial features, though DH has blue eyes.

Shannon Doherty or Giada de Laurentiis for my sister.

And though they aren't actors, Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart or former Florida QB Chris Rix for my brother-he resembles both of them so much it's scary.

Me: Sarah Silverman
DH: Steve Buscemi

That would be a funny pairing.

Me: Someone small, someone you wouldn't necessarily notice at first glance, but who can express herself well. A smart blonde. Jodie Foster would be nice (she is a bit older than I am, and much thinner, and she can be forgiven the Yale thing).

STBXH: No longer in the picture. Yayyy!

Next DH: George Clooney, as himself (a girl can dream).

My father: Martin Sheen

My mother: Audrey Hepburn
