: Well, he's not *ugliest* per se but he's certainly one of the most overrated. His acting chops are also decidedly overrated, the rare exceptions to complete mediocrity being when Benny's in a Kevin Smith flick.
C'mon. Ben does a great job in Kevin's movies. His acting in "Strikes Back," particularly in the "Good Will Hunting 2" segment is fantastic. Other than "Gigli" (which got such crappy reviews, I go to see every movie with Ben in it.
As an aside, I am the person who created the shitstorm by posting the "Is Kevin Smith done" or whatever I said. Actually, I think he makes fantastic flicks. I was simply mentioning criticisms that I have heard. I wanted to incite some discussion ... and we actually got Kevin to respond. DEBATE IS GOOD. Although I should have flamed myself.
Looking forward to "Jersey Girl" with Affleck. It should be fantastic.
