They could pass as real life sisters.

I got confused. I though Minka played Rebecca until I read the credits.

Indeed... for the first 5min of movie when Minka was in the shot I was CONVINCED I'm wathing Leighton.. I thought she's acting a bit diferently but it was 100%her... then when Leighton showed up in the same room next morning I was totally confused had to o see credits!

Im glad I wasnt the only one. I thought I was losing my mind.

To me, Minka has a slight Jessica Alba look at times and Leighton has a slight Alicia Silverstone look . . . which are very different. But yeah, I can definitely see the similarities, too, and obviously, there was an intentional reason to cast similar-looking women.

I was in the audience at the 2011 People's Choice Awards.

I saw both of them stand side by side. And I did not know which was which.

And this was right in front of me.

I thought it was going to end up being the same person! like she thought she had a roommate but it wasn't she made up a twin roommate or something lmao..

That's what I was thinking since they mentioned her dead sister so many times, I was thinking that she was doing all the bad stuff as her dead sister.

They do resemble each other, but I think Minka is slightly prettier.
