Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly are the same person


oh my gosh, I've never in my life seen more similar looking women who are not identical twins. the resemblance is uncanny. I mean they are the spitting images of each other. it's frightening and unreal and surreal how much they look alike. the only thing separating them in this movie is their different hair colors in the beginning. and the thing is going into this movie I didn't know who each actress was(I just knew Leighton Meester was on Gossip Girl and Minka Kelly was on Friday Night Lights)so that made watching them in this really confusing as to whom each one was when I saw them. Is that Minka? Is that Leighton? that was very confusing to me. these actresses better make a movie in which they play twins and one of them pretends to be the other and has sex with the other girl's boyfriend and the guy doesn't know it's the other twin, and the audience doesn't know which one is which until the end or maybe even in the end the audience doesn't know and it's one of those leave it up to you to decide in your own mind, to imagine what happened kind of movies.

I've confused them many a time. I think you could throw Danneel Harris into this mix as well.

I don't think so. They are both beautiful but beyond that I don't see the similarity. There are many beautiful young ladies in this movie.

I'm watching this movie now. I have no idea who these actresses are but for the first minutes (when the one stumbles in the room in the dark and meets the other, etc.) I thought they were the same actress. I was thinking that I didn't realize that was the 'twist' and this movie 'might' be more interesting than I thought. Fast forward to me wondering where the other 'name actress' was, search the webs, yada yada yada... I now see they are different women. Glad I'm not alone.
