Megan miscast

In the novel, Megan is described as being almost irresistibly hot. I don't think bennett is hot. I think she's not thin enough and not pretty enough to be irresistible. She's good looking (not my type), but the Megan character needs to be almost supernaturally beautiful. Whenever I see Jessica Biel in a movie, she's almost too gorgeous to watch. I can't follow the movie. Megan needed to be like that.

In the movie (IMO), bennett is the LEAST attractive of the three main women (Blunt, Ferguson, Bennett), and it's not like she has an enchanting personality or dazzling brain. In the book, she's described as being stunningly gorgeous.

I don't think bennett is attractive, but that's just my opinion.

Don't agree

I think she's prettier than Emily blunt and Jessica Biel. Haley is cute in an ethereal fairy-like way and it's that youthful look that better portrays the character's vulnerability and naivety. The only blondes I can think of that would fit your description of Megan is Amber Heard, MacKenzie Mauzy, Dianna Agron and Margot Robbie.

not joking. I don't like her body or her chin. But I don't think Jennifer Lawrence is attractive, and to me, they look a bit alike.

I think Evangeline Lilly when she was on LOST was the prettiest girl in the history of creation, but not everybody agrees with me.

Are you serious? Her acting was subpar at best.

Everyone is miscast in this.

I have not seen her in anything else, but I think she did an amazing job with this role. And she is very different looking, especially her eyes, but very pretty.
