The character of Sydney was totally unbelievable


Here's a seemingly intelligent, sensitive and beautiful woman who basically falls for a loser. His name's John and he's an ex-con, involved in gang violence and has a crap job as a cleaner.

I didn't believe in her 'love' for him for one second. It was a forced piece of writing that only served to highlight cultural differences.

Was a little weird, but I found her character to be a bit strange - how old was she supposed to be? The way her parents controlled her I found strange, almost like she had a child like nature. I didn't find her character to seem intelligent, like I said she had a child like nature that was strange to me.

I can relate with that...I've dated some woman way out of my league, hot model material, walking down the street with an ugly troll like me, nobody gets it lol...and trust me, their parents were similar to Sydney's mum, they don't want their sweet innocent daughter dating a hairy wog.

I often see hot sexy girls walking down the street with a fat balding ugly guys, I'm sure we all do...is it money? tackle size? or just plain skill? I dunno, but it happens all the time.

Can someone please explain to me his role. He seems like a character the movie could've done without because he doesn't really add anything
