Eisenberg the eternal child?

I think Eisenberg was cast well for this movie... But considering it has been about 15 years since this movie he is still playing, basically, teen type roles or manchildren...

Is it a typecasting thing, or more reprrsentative of his era's kind of man? the eternal manchild?

I think it's a little bit of both.

For real. He's the same dude in every movie. He even had a hoodie on. How prophetic.

Haha... Exactly!

I like Eisenberg, but his range seems to be pretty narrow. I would like to see a role where he pushes himself out of that comfort zone - his best roles to date (Roger Dodger, The Squid & the Whale, The Social Network) fall squarely within.

It doesn't help that he looks the same too.
