Yi way overrated as is movie

From the trailer I thought she was a sincere, goofily cute girl making a documentary. After watching the movie, I see she is about as sincere (and talented) as the percentage that this movie is actually a doc--not much. The interviews could have been discussed juxtaposed to her experience, launching an interesting film, but by not delving in to the subject, as well as by throwing in a fake story about her and Cera, Yi ruined her own movie.

Her laugh is all right to hear one or two times, but when it becomes a large part of her dialog, gag. Her one shining moment of good acting was in Paris when she pretended to be upset about not being able to love Cera. Which is the main topic she should have brought out by weaving her supposed inability to love through the sets of interviews and honestly assessing what she *really* felt about love, rather than simply repeating, "But I didn't." (find love) and "I can't." What, exactly, does she mean? Does she have PTSD? Is she is a sociopath? She had ample opportunity to engage her own questions by listening and responding to the interviewees. Did she know she couldn't love Cera because she didn't look in his eyes and get a telling feeling? Because she had no butterflies or great early impressions of him, or felt complete revulsion, or what?

She just keeps grinning and offering nothing on the topic she made an entire movie about. And about her much-touted creativity. Those cutout puppets and props, and the stories they depicted, could have been created and enacted by a clever 9th grader. In that one shot of her in the first paper story, when she was moving the horses and riders over the mountains, she looks so intensely focused it's creepy. Girl. You're taking paper puppets on sticks and making them ride over a mountain. It's not Hamlet. And I wouldn't necessarily say she can actually play guitar or sing. She has creative potential. That's ok. Most of us would like to be able to do certain things better and are slowly getting there, too. But don't make the coffee till the cake is out of the oven.

And who has hip-length hair and barely ever brushes it let alone actually does something with it? Finally, and this is what really brought her down in my opinion, I read in an interview with her that she would just make things up (I'm sure in that same, high-pitched-yet-monotone voice) to *beep* with the interviewer and whatever press was present. If an artist pulls the wool over the media's eye to make a statement, that's commendable, but to do it just for laughs, much like an immature adolescent, dissolves all remaining hype about Charlyne Yi. In that context, her self proclaimed inability to love is about as interesting as saying, "You know, I don't like ketchup. Let's get to bottom of this."

Late show:
No props for telling a story about how as a kid she used to eat Nestle Quik straight from the container, after a minute thinking, "Mmmm, crunchy," but, "that was because my spit had dripped down into it. I was like, yummy, treats!" and how every time Ferguson asks her a question, she answers with a single word and then says, "What about you?" and didn't know that the place where rabbits live is called a "warren."

I don't usually rant about actors or comedians, but she was just too annoying.
