I don't get her appeal.


She's in every movie,tv commercials,etc. I don't understand it. She isn't pretty or likeable and there are better singers. A lot of actors are out of work and yet she is everywhere.

She's got a good agent I suppose.

At this moment in time, she's pretty much relying on Pitch Perfect franchise to keep her in the limelight. Her performance in Up In The Air was very good, but not award worthy. A lot of the better films she's in like Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, The Voices, Into The Woods, 50/50, End of Watch for example she's pretty much in the supporting role which suits her better. A lot of her work outside Pitch Perfect and Twilight, haven't done that well stuff like Mr.Right, Drinking Buddies, Table 17, The Last Give Years, Happy Christmas, Get A job. I don't think she has a lot of range imo. She can play the girl next door pretty well or the girlfriend role but she's never pushed herself as a actress. I don't think she's a leading lady imo.

She's someone I think who will find herself probably starring in a sitcom on TV in the next few years.

I rewatched The Accountant last night and liked her in that. Also, in A Simple Favor recently, where she played off well to Blake Lively.

For fuck's sake Kowalski isn't one account enough?

An actor is better off in a hit sitcom than they are chasing movie roles. Get a good sitcom and not only will be pay big per episode, but you can get residuals that keep you from being poor long after the mega star of a summer blockbuster is bankrupt and dumpster diving for dinner.

I'd crawl on my knees through broken glass to smell her farts.

reply

DUH!

Make sure to ask for consent first... It'd be really terrible to do all the crawling through broken glass and THEN ask for consent only to get turned down. (Unless, of course, you're into that.)

reply

She's not super gorgeous or anything but i can somewhat understand the appeal of the "adorkable", quirky nice girl characters she tends to play.

reply

She's cute and a good actor.

reply

She's got the worst knock knees I think I've ever seen.

reply

She has an appealing watchability.

I don't know how to define that, other than she's nice to watch.

reply

Her appeal is she's the college girl we all wanted to bang. I have no idea how she'll keep her career going when she gets older.

reply

Huh? She is already 34.

reply

You don't like cute girls? Get out of here, what are you, kawaii-phobic?

reply

I find her to be very likeable. I'd hire her for a project. I think there's something strong and nice about her.
