Carrie Underwood is not an actress
Carrie Underwood is not an actress. Carrie Underwood is a singer. And I think it should stay that way. Forever.
I really like Carrie Underwood; I think she has a great voice, I think she's very talented, and I think she is very pretty. I've enjoyed following her career since American Idol.
But it really bothers me when directors/producers/studios push to get big names rather than big talent in their movie. Carrie Underwood's character in this movie really wasn't that special-- any tan and pretty blonde could have played that role and the movie wouldn't have been any different (other than it wouldn't have had some terrible acting from Ms Underwood in it). I don't understand this. Carrie Underwood is a SINGER.
That scene where she 'cries' because she doesn't know why bad things happen to people..... I still shudder when I think of it. I didn't hate the movie, I thought it was a wholesome family film and though it doesn't really run in my taste for film, I thought overall it was an okay movie. But Carrie Underwood.... Carrie, Carrie, Carrie.... the only camera she belongs in front of is for her music videos.
I like you, Carrie, but I think you should stick to singing and leave the acting for the actors. Please and thank you.
