I've started watching CSI because Ted Danson is in it and I love him. Do you watch a show or film because of the actor/actress starring in it? Would you watch a film with a bad review if someone you liked was it in? |

Generally it's the content of the show. There are very few actors/actresses who I will watch regardless of what's actually going on. In fact, I can't think of one off the top of my head. Jon |

Content and reviews are my thing, with the focus on content. I couldn't care who's starring really. I have to say though, it seems to be women who get wound-up about male stars, IME. I know a few women who won't watch anything starring Bruce Willis or Christian Bale ![]() ![]() |

I won't watch anything with Jim Carrey in it either, thoroughly repellent and unfunny individual. |

Jim Carey does the same character in every film with the exception of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Can't stand Tom Cruise myself but I have watched his films in the past. I am absolutely gutted they chose him to be Jack Reacher. He couldn't be more opposite in looks and stature! |

Actually, the content of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller films mean they're usually best avoided... |

I've watched Jason Statham films just because it says Jason Statham is in it, so I know it's going to be about Jason Statham and explosions. Not particularly because Jason Statham is one of my favourite actors. Jason Statham. |

I know what you mean, but it might work out as a film in it's own right, Mel Gibson* is nothing like Parker from the novels but he 'owned the tone' to paraphrase something awful I heard recently ![]() * Payback |

I avoid any films which feature either of those two. Unfunny and cringeworthy. |

I like them both. Loved 50 First Dates and the Meet the Fockers series *hides* |

There are a few things I've watched because "Oooh it's got him / her in it!". Generally I only go out of my way to watch something if it fits my very narrow interest range or if it's been recommended. |
