I thought that Kidman is one of the most egregious misses in terms of casting. She was horrible, and the botox made her wooden, which is death to a comedic actress. Lucy couldn't help but be funny, her mannerisms and subtle body movements were unconscious to a certain degree. Kidman is just not a comedic actor, and I couldn't buy her in the role. Isla Fisher or someone with comedic chops, maybe.

Doesn't help Sorkin's writing style, which has never included an understanding of comedy .

The other three leads were great.
