Unfortunately, O’Connor’s performance falls flat in comparison to the leading actors and makes Alison a forgettable character. Aside from Alison, a quartet of Elliot’s colleagues turns up as different people in each of his different worlds. Played by Orlando Jones, Paul Adelstein, Miriam Shore and Toby Huss, the characters ignore Elliot just as they do at work. Fraser shows his acting diversity and delivers a believable comedic performance throughout all the characters. More naughty than evil, Hurley embraced the character’s mischievous nature creating a playful, likeable princess of darkness, which saves the movie from being a complete flop.
