Zoe Kazan is one of the primary reasons I saw the film. I find her very attractive.

Flatley, you are such a turd. You have no credibility whatsoever. Zoe Kazan is beautiful and played the role extremely well. I see a Best Original Screenplay nomination in her future and possibly a Best Actress nod as well.

AGREE!
I love this. Haven't got a clue what it means, mind you. Who or what is "Im Sowie"? Is it a sibling for david Bowie's rhyming son Zowie Bowie (aka Duncan Jones)? Gosh, what cryptic fun! :D

You are annoying, mikeyflatley...and a troll. Bye-bye.
shareI'll second some of the previous comments. I wish people would write in standard English and treat others respectfully on this site. I love reading the truly thoughtfuly comments that frequently appear on this site; other than my emails, it's the website I visit the most.
However, taking the OP's question seriously, the film made a serious point about looks vs. character. The brother on at least two occasions suggests that the author should enhance the girl's chest measurements, and the author rebuffs him on both occasions because that is not the improvement he is looking for. All he cares about is her personality.

Haven't seen the film yet, but the lead actress and the lead actor are together in real life.
Exactly. And she wrote it for the two of them, so the script and the casting came as a package. Besides, Paul Dano is a brilliant actor, and Zoe Kazan, while no beauty, is perfect for what's supposed to be a riff on the manic-pixie-dreamgirl trope, so why would anyone have a problem casting them?
shareWhilst I don't agree with the way you wrote it, I do sort of agree. Given the way Ruby started out embodying the characterics of every manic dream pixie girl, I would have expected she would have had that delicate beauty too. So it was initially distracting.
The fact that the leads were average/ordinary looking actually made the issues in the story more relateable for me. Their looks were grounded in the reality that I know, rather than the impossibly attractive people common in Hollywood, which is a world I definitely do not know. I didn't realise it was a barrier for me to connecting more personally and more fully to the stories on screen before this film, so I was pleased they used leads like that. I hope to see "less attractive" people in romantic movies in the future. That said, the actors look as though they are better looking in real life. In fact I would say that for all the actors, there was something about this film that seemed to dull their usual attractiveness (other than Antonio Banderas, who was a true babe).
Another point--his original assignment was not to portray the ideal woman but rather to describe a woman who would appreciate his dog despite the dog's flaws. In a way it reminds me of the Biblical story of Eliazer and Rebecca. The test was one of kindness--the woman who took the initiative to provide water for the camels would have the right sort of character to be Isaac's bride. In the film, the right sort of girl would be one who could appreciate the dog's individuality--it was a sensitivity test. (P.S. I don't agree that she was unattractive, by the way. I thought she was sort of cute).
shareI think the reason for not casting a Purdier girl might be because Joanna Lumley wasn't available, and she of course was the ultimate Purdey in the New Avengers (not to be confused with the Marvel Avengers).
Gosh, the OP does task us with some challenging conundrums, doesn't he?
Or should that be "conundra"?
