I saw No Strings Attached (yeah, yeah, it was free at a Jewish retirement home!) and I walked away with a mini-crush on Lake Bell.  I thought she was great in it.  You could tell she had really injected a lot of comedy into her character - that wasn’t in the script - and she was incredibly endearing and likeable.  So much so that you actually want Ashton to love her instead of Natalie Portman.  Which is a big problem for a romantic comedy.  Anyway besides the fact that her name is 2 nouns, I’m a big fan of Lake Bell.
