Bad movie... Bad actress...


Not Leighton Meester I think she was the only good thing about this crapola. The lead actress, the good girl, she was atrocious. 3/10 to this dumb film.

I totally agree with you! I thought Minka Kelly was annoying and a terrible actress. The way she spoke was incredibly annoying, she seemed to be channeling J-Lo and her character was supposed to hail from Des Moines? Sorry, but I live in that part of the country and she did not sound like an Iowan whatsoever. Minka Kelly looked about 30 years old to me - pretty, but THIRTY! After the movie I looked her up on here and yes, she is 31 years old. I understand that movie makers often cast people who aren't the age they are playing but come the eff on, Minka Kelly looked her age in this and was NOT remotely believable as a college freshman or even a college senior who took a year or two off! She has freakin' crow's feet. I see that Leighton Meester is also in her mid 20's but at least she looks young enough to be 18-19. Minka does not at all. I am 34 and Minka looks like my peers. Along with the bad acting.
