Alicia Silverstone was bad...


...granted, she had very little to do besides being the boring mum, but she did not bring anything to it...

An especially poor performance when compared to Olivia Wilde and Jennifer Garner Even little Yara Shahidi outshone her and she's only like ten-years-old...

"Oh, Britta's in this?"

I hardly recognized her.

Really, I thought she was one of the better characters in the film.

How so? She was just...there...

I've just bought Silverstones outfit from this film at auction as it was so cheap so gonna have to watch this now just to see the outfit on screen ha ha

reply

She's not even meant to receive second billing so why wouldn't she be 'just there?' She's a foster mother whose there to support her child; she plays second fiddle to Destiny. I thought Alicia was great - still looks great as well.

reply

I agree. She looked very natural and beautiful. Playing a mother is always catastrophic for former young stars but she was great. And Rob Corddry was excellent as a non-creepy character. Good for him!

I kept wondering why she had a look on her face like she'd just smelled a fart.
