Bo has some animal attraction to her that makes up for poor cinematic performance.
After having endured the mental torture of watching " Ghosts can't do it " that cannot be said any more.
Bo should have ended her career after "TEN" which was a funny movie, although the credits must go to Dudley Moore.
