Apparently, Katie Holmes is in talks to star alongside Woody Harrelson and Jason Lee in a "comedic fantasy adventure" titled The Other Side. And soon we'll be able to see her play a goofy, quirky gal in the female-helmed heist comedy Mad Money (check out the preview here).

I'm a little surprised to see Katie (oops, pardon me, Tom, Kate) getting comedic roles, but then again, maybe she's more cut out for comedy than she was for drama. Her performance in Batman Begins was less than exciting, though I loved her in Pieces of April.
What do you think? Do you like it better when Katie is a goofball, or when she is totally Dawson's Creek serious?

she's just famous because she married tom cruise, either way she's no a-list actress.
1agreed yyam084.
2except the tom cruise part.
I'm not a fan of hers at all.
3I think she was popular on Dawson's Creek because she was cute. But in Batman Begins, she had this habit of tucking her mouth into the corner of her cheek...talking out of just one side of her mouth. It was really distracting, and she couldn't hold up to Christian Bale, an incredibly gifted actor.
I think she has a better chance at comedy, but we shall see!
4Never liked her. Never even bothered to seriously watch Dawson's Creek.
5i'm not really fond of actress becoming a one hot celeb in an instant because of her being a socialite, marrying someone famous, or being cheated on then being quite an underdog rather on what they accomplish as an actress.
6Pieces of April is one of my favorite movies of all time, and she gives a fab performance. I still like her, creepy Tom Cruise or not. And you can't say she isn't beautiful.
7I am just not a fan.
8Please spare us all and stay in your castle with Tom
9drama but that dawson's era is dunzo
10I loved her on Dawson's! Especially all the banter between her and Pacey....it was great and kinda funny sometimes! But I guess I see her doing drama better!
11Wow, Joey Potter haters in here.
I like her, I cant help it. Despite everything.
12I'm not a fan of hers but she is pretty.
13Not in these pictures!
14Neither. She was good in "Pieces of April" but I think that was a fluke. I've never liked her in anything else.
15Neither. I think she should continue playing robot wife.
16I always loved her on Dawson's Creek.
17"Pieces of April" was really good, so I guess there is hope for her. I would be interested in seeing her in a comedy, and she was okay in "Thank You For Smoking."
I don't think Tom Cruise has much to do with it, because she had started making bigger movies and getting bigger offers before she married him.
18She is so over-rated.
19she's cute enough i think she could pull of a light comedy...but i don't think she could ever carry a comedy
20she's not the best actress... I dont think she should do any
21ain't no a-list actress, her films don't do well in box-office.
22I honestly don't know what to think of her anymore so I voted neither.
23I liked her in Pieces of April, Wonderboys and Go. She was pretty decent in Thank You for Smoking and The Gift. She's not a leading lady, though. I'm not sure she should do comedy (Mad Money looks like ass with or without her). I don't know. She confuses me.
24The girl can't act.. maybe she should just continue being programmed by Tom and leave the acting world behind.
25She isn't the best actress, but she's not bad.
26she should just continue speeding tommy girl money... let more talented actress get the parts
27I really really didn't like her in Batman Begins. She needs to stick to upbeat, quirky roles!
28im sad that you didn't put "both" as an option!
29i think she rocks
she's cute and comedic at times
but she also has those sad eyes that do well in dramas
i loved pieces of april too!
Let's face it: she's just not that good of an actress. She's been good in selected things: Pieces of April (her biggest departure, IMO) and GO but has failed to pick decent projects lately (thank you-Tom Cruise).
30i thought she sucked in dawsons creek. she's just not a good actress and i hate her crooked smile ha
31she's always annoyed the hell out of me! i don't like her whispy baby voice when she's trying to be dramatic or funny. its irritating.
32I'll always have a warm feeling for her as Joey Potter but, i can't see her in a comedy (maybe it will change after Mad Money)
33The only time she ever done a decent performance was in Pieces of April. Like soemone mentioned before, she has a terrible habit of talking with one side of her mouth, her lips are always lopsided. I feel like she makes her characters out too sweet, she always ends up playing the type of girl who is just so naive and sweet you feel like kicking the TV, even when the character in itself may not have been meant to seem like that. She always over martyrizes her characters and she never seems comfortable with comedy.
34Please! What does Katie's great talent have to do with her personal life?
This girl has it all and those that lash at her will only backfire bigtime. Since we jugde actresses craft with their lives then Dunst is a bad actress for advocating drug use, another bad actress Paltrow for saying Americans are not as cultured as Europeans or Katie's replacement Gyllenhaal for saying America deserves 9/11, she insults Katie other actresses and blockbuster films,she's a monster to fans and the paparazzis.
ROTFLM6O!!!!!! Katie's movies are flops?
35if you get behind the movie news many actors and actresses are box office poison lately especially A listers and Oscar winners.
Get your facts straight!!!!!
She was da bomb in The Gift,Go & Saturday Night Live. Love her opposite Tobey Maguire in Ice Storm,Robert Downey Jr.in Singing Detective and particularly Christian Bale in Batman Begins. I have yet to see Thank you for Smoking and Pieces of April.
