Ashley Johnson (a.k.a. Riley)


I kinda sorta recognized the actress playing Riley when the film started, but it wasn't until halfway through that I realized she was Chrissy from "Growing Pains"! I was amazed at what a GOOD actress she is now. The girl's got talent! It's good to see a former child star flourish. Oh, and could she be any prettier???

Yeah she is pretty good. I wish she would do more movies, like 80% of the work she has done has been TV. I really liked her on Dirt....kind of pissed of that the show got axed after only what 20 episodes? Stupid strikes x.x

Yeah, I had the same "Duh!" moment when I realized who she was, lol. Also a kind of WTF experience seeing the narrator from The Wonder Years and a supporting actor from '80's sitcom "Dear John" in the cast of a horror-comedy. Very quirky casting, to say the least.

And, yes, she was verrrry pretty, and a much-improved actress since her days playing second banana to Alan Thicke. Hope she does more films.









Deeeeeeep hurting!!!!!!!

i recognized her name and knew it was her but i was very surprised with our introductory scene where she's in her panties and a tank top. the girl has grown up quite nicely, oh my...yummmy. lol never thought she was ugly as a kid or anything but i would have never guessed she'd turn out so hot.

i know this is all coming off like i'm a perv but yeah, i'm male...can't help it. lol

The entire movie I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I recognized her from. I knew she played a kid on an old sitcom, but I couldn't pinpoint it. She really has grown up to be a hottie. Which is kind of weird to say since I remember watching her on Growing pains lol. She is a very good actress too. She did a great job with a tough role in this movie.

Ashley Johnson was excellent as Riley. And, yep, she's a complete hottie.
