I thought Kidman was fine personally. I didn't think she needed to be overly funny considering the movie isn't a comedy at all, and it takes a more cerebral approach to how the show was put together, gag by gag. I thought Bardem was the weak link. The "checked the wrong box" blow up was pretty hammy and overdone I thought.
I blame Sorkin for most of the movies flaws. I had similar problems with his Chicago 7 movie last year, though that one was much better than this was.
