Before They Were Stars: Eva Mendes in “A Night at the Roxbury”

First off, I would like to apologize in advance for posting a clip of A Night at the Roxbury on The Back Row. But I suppose it was worth doing because it features a brief appearance by Eva Mendes as a bridesmaid in only her second film role. Incidentally, Mendes was reportedly so embarrassed by her performance in her first film, Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror, that she immediately hired herself an acting coach. That might explain why her role here has no dialogue and just consists of her standing around in the background and reacting.
