Near the beginning of the third act of Unforgettable - the newest addition to Hollywood’s growing, shameless subgenre of cheap psychosexual thrillers that often feel like they belong on the Lifetime channel - the film’s protagonist calls up her best friend and asks her to come and help her with something in her new town. That something ends up being investigating the past mental history of her fiancee’s crazy ex-wife (played by a one-note Katherine Heigl), while the best friend is played by Whitney Cummings, one of the only bright spots in the entirety of Unforgettable. She gives the only performance in the film that doesn’t take itself irritatingly seriously.
“Everyone’s got a weird ex, I’m probably someone’s weird ex,” says Cummings’ Ali to Rosario Dawson’s Julia, “but this Psycho Barbie is something else. You need to come back home with me.” It’s the kind of acute advice that only the best of friends are willing to give to you in stressful times, and it’s one of the only good moments in Unforgettable... if it weren’t for the fact that, you know, it’d take about the dumbest person alive to not have already realized that there’s something truly wrong with Heigl’s Tessa. Now, I’m aware that those kinds of people exist, who ignore all signs of danger for better or worse, but I also know that an actress like Rosario Dawson deserves a whole lot better than that.
