Hartnett was ridiculously underwhelming and uncharismatic. Absolutely one of my least favorite actors of that period. The man was handsome cardboard. I liked him in almost everything I saw him in, especially 40 Days and 40 Nights and Wicker Park. I could see people thinking he was underwhelming or uncharismatic, but I thought his laid back demeanor was part of his appeal. For anyone doubting Josh Hartnett, they should check out Lucky Number Slevin and/or Bunraku. On the surface, he seems very bland or boring but really he's just subdued.

Then again, maybe you shouldn't star in a movie where the premise is "It's hard for you to go 40 days without sex."
May have killed male acceptance of him.

What really pissed me off about that movie is, once women find out about his contest/wager (whatever, I only saw that horrid film once), they all come out of the woodwork to try to have sex with him because... it will empower males if they know they don't need vagina for a month, and the women folk don't want that because... that's all they have to offer society? {Spoiler}And then his ex-girlfriend rapes him, hahahahahaha. Anyway, the dude needed to open his eyes or keep them shut. No half-measures with me.

True, but 1) It wasn't marketed that way. 2) Was still obnoxious.

Josh Hartnett's character gave up sex for Lent, and then everyone started taking bets on how long he could last without breaking the vow.

I thought he was good in The Faculty, but that's about it.

The last movie I saw him in was Bunraku. The character he played in that fit him a lot more than some of his other characters have!
