**2. The World Is Not Enough**
Denise Richards is famous for her on and off screen relationships: she paired up with Neve Campbell onscreen in Wild Things and had a volatile off screen marriage to Charlie Sheen. She also has a long sitcom history, appearing in: Spin City, Melrose Place, Friends, Two and a Half Men, and Seinfeld. She has appeared in Playboy at least twice and most recently, she had her own reality show. Not the most serious body of work.
So perhaps that's why her portrayal of Doctor Christmas Jones won her a Razzie ("the foremost authority on all things that suck on the big screen") for worst supporting actress. It's not surprising that audiences found it difficult to believe Richards in the role of "tough American nuclear physicist." More surprising? The unquestionably attractive Denise Richards and Pierce Brosnan were also nominated for the "worst screen couple" Razzie. While they rush to recapture and disarm a nuclear warhead and disarm it, their lack of onscreen chemistry is anything but explosive.
Yes, we expect Bond films to be campy – that's what we like about them. We also expect the Bond women to be smoking hot and Richards' performance in this flick is uncharacteristically cold. It also doesn't take a brain scientist to figure out that casting Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist is just silly.
