I always considered Kidder to be an unattractive Karen Allen.
Thank God, I've finally found some folks who agree with me about Kidder. That's up to four now, counting my former English teacher, Dennis Kaplan. Lord knows better actresses auditioned for the part - I think they should have gone with Anne Archer. On the other hand, I could have seen Kathleen Turner or Sigourney Weaver doing Lois Lane. Age is a funny thing here - Reeve was only 24 (26 by the time of release) and Kidder was like 30 something.
