Katherine Heigl

I’ve a lot of time for Katherine Heigl. She’s cute, she’s funny, she gives good copy, she’s a feminist – what more could you ask for?

Okay, it makes me feel very old to know that she was Gerard Depardieu’s daughter in My Father: The Hero…

…Steven Segal’s daughter in Under Siege 2…

…and was one of the ‘teens’ in Roswell (here, along with fellow cast members Life Unexpected‘s Shiri Appleby and CSI: Miami‘s Adam Rodriguez. Now I feel even older).

But I can live with that.

All the same, I do wish her rom coms could be a little less predictable. Here’s a little documentary on how to woo Katherine Heigl in one her movies. Notice how it’s all a seamless narrative flow, despite being assembled from clips of Knocked Up, 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth – and yes, I have seen all these movies. Don’t ask me why.
