The "nude scenes" in this movie


Dakota Fanning is not a very good actress and this movie is pretty awful for a lot of reasons, but here's what I REALLY don't get. Fanning is obviously uncomfortable doing nudity since she needs CGI and a body stocking to do rear nudity from 50 yards away, so why put HER in THIS movie where she not only has a skinny-dipping scene, but FOUR sex scenes and a shower scene? It's like casting someone as a Brit who can't or won't do a British accent.

Elizabeth Olsen DOES do nude scenes (and she's very good at them!), but she is miscast as the young virgin. Why not at least switch the roles? And it's not about "gratuitous" nudity. The sex scenes and the public skinny-dipping scenes are important to the plot. People generally skinny-dip and have sex when they're at least partially nude.

Would this movie have been better if Lizzie Olsen was naked in every other scene? Marginally, but it still probably would have sucked. But that isn't the point.
