FYI - Gia Carangi (Who!?... Never heard of her) was not (as this movie states) America's first "Supermodel". To be honest (until this depressing and annoyingly-bad movie came out), I had never, ever heard of Gia Carangi. But I'd certainly heard of Jerry Hall, Christie Brinkley, Cybill Shepherd, and Lauren Hutton, who were all recognized "Supermodels" long before this bimbo snorted her first line of cocaine. If this badly-conceived bio-movie was really supposed to be an accurate depiction of what Gia Carangi was actually like in real-life, then I'd say that she was, without a doubt, just pure white-trash, and an absolutely terrible role-model for lesbian-wannabes, as well. And if I am to take Angelina Jolie's grate-on-your-nerves portrayal of Gia at face value, then, let's face it, this high-strung crybaby was already seriously unhinged long before her downward spiral into the hell of drug addiction took place. And speaking about Angelina's lousy performance as Gia - Jolie (wearing one awful-looking wig after another) was such an incompetent, scenery-chewing amateur throughout that her character depiction made me despise Gia, big-time. I also hated all of the women in Gia's life. This, of course, included her mother, Kathleen, her mentor, Wilhelmina Cooper, and especially her lesbian lover, Linda (this particular on/off relationship was nothing but a hideous, little soap opera of non-stop bitching and bickering). And, with that said - I am absolutely fed-up from hearing people heap praise and admiration upon Angelina Jolie for her performance as Gia. If you ask me, it was one of the most empty-headed, insincere, and unconvincing portrayals I've ever seen. And I swear that I'll never, ever again watch another movie that stars the likes of Angelina Jolie. Never! (Bah! Who needs her?)
